Hewitt: 5 bold reforms Hillary should champion to devastate the GOP and ensure a long ‘Clinton Era’
TheBlaze Books ^ | 2015-06-16 | Benjamin Weingarten

1. A constitutional amendment abolishing the Electoral College and substituting in its place a direct election of the president by popular vote.

2. A constitutional amendment abolishing the two term limit on the presidency.

3. A constitutional amendment mandating that 5% of GDP be spent on the Pentagon’s budget, with safeguards that the money actually be spent on soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines and the equipment they need, and not on absurd “tack-ons” like “green energy” production for military bases. Rebuild the military and detach it from the GOP, and do so before a coup becomes a reality in the next forty years.

4. An ironclad commitment to massive development of our own energy resources, via fracking onshore and select development of new offshore resources, via out-of-sight platform drilling.

“I’m sure she does put this forward, but can you imagine the political capital it would take to actually push through a constitutional amendment about the electoral college?”

Just the notion that these RIDICULOUS assclowns parading around as modern politicians would even DARE to tamper with the amazingly prescient system instituted by the genius political philosophers who were the founding fathers... it boggles the mind.

Yet, Hewitt’s point seems to be that she could win by pushing this platform on the sheep, not by successfully implementing it.

Just like BO and his failed healthcare rollout, she completely lacks the skill, ability, or work ethic to actually accomplish any of this legally, BUT it’s easy to see how she could claim to champion this idiocy.

Yeah, right. Her talking points haven't changed -- particularly if you grill a media shill about her flipflops -- but her campaign will be:
  1. gender equality
  2. abortion on demand
  3. racial equality
  4. redistribution/reparations (disguised as the previous two, plus 'living wage')
  5. sustainable economy [sic]
  6. renewable energy [sic]
  7. nuclear non-proliferation (IOW, unilateral disarmament, as in the Port Huron Statement), but in practice only attempting to force Israel to sign the NP treaty
  8. another 'Russian reset'
  9. abandonment of all US allies
  10. debt forgiveness to every two-bit dictatorship in the world -- but not to Columbia
some sidebars from the Hugh Hewitt FRchives:
