You’re so right. Watching Hillary’s speech after her SC defeat, it seemed she was using key words to put out the message that the SC voters represented only a small voting block; for example, she said she was excited to move on to other states where “millions” of people would now have their say. All of her words were chosen carefully, but the message was clear.
In a way, it’s fun to watch the Dems play this game and the Dem party (hopefully) crumbling before our very eyes. But I’m also very concerned about the outcome. Will either of these two jokers become President? If so, we’re in big trouble.
I wonder if we aren’t in big trouble regardless of who gets elected. I hate to keep sounding the clarion call of “The Sky Is Falling”, but there are an awful lot things that are near the breaking point right now, any one of which could push us over the edge. If we’re going over the edge I would prefer to have it under the Dems rather than us. Truth is, I’m sure there is any one person who, once elected, could turn this ship around.
So much of what ails America today is the result of decades and generations of government growth and control. We are so far in debt and so many people have become dependent on that debt to maintain the status quo that it’s going to be very difficult to get enough people demanding change to make a difference.
For a Republican the very first step has got to be a house cleaning, and I mean a real Spring cleaning approach. Until every part of government is purged of the people who got us into this mess nothing going to change. I know a lot of them can’t be touched, Ronald Reagan learned that, but keeping almost entirely the team left by Clinton has been the source of so much trouble for W and his administration.
The new administration needs to start off with an entirely new slate of players at all levels of every department. W has been the target of an endless stream of out and out tricks to sink his administration. This has got to stop.
