She won't even make it to the election.

The Obamas will see to that.

Then his reasoning is totally flawed.

But you knew that.

“Donald Trump understands Americas problems and he resonates with the blue collar workers”

Thanks to both parties the blue collar workers are going the way of the dodo bird. China is happy enough though.

National Review’s writers have ol’ William F spinning in his grave. Buckley hated Perot, but Trump is working inside the party, and thereby is the difference. This fellow and Mona earlier. This is transparently pro-Bush.

I pray with every fiber of my being that you are wrong. Of course, I prayed for months that Obama would not be elected and prayed he would not be re-elected. The thought of Hillary as president makes me actually want to leave this country.

“Donald Trump is head and shoulders above Hillary with America’s working people. He’s for bringing back American jobs. That is a very powerful message.”

I don’t know - Hillary is telling them the rich will pay for their existence. Why should they work?

“But her bet is that the liberal coalition will show up and that swing voters who do not love her will nonetheless decide that they prefer her to a Republican party out of touch with most people’s concerns.”

“Republican party out of touch”

This article is a prime example as to why this author and National Review are completely out of touch. In fact, one may conclude that they have acrobatically positioned themselves in a strange anatomical contortion.

Yes, the author omits one critical factor why Hillary will win: cheating.

“Millennials will elect her. I believe she is inevitable”

And that is why they are having trouble getting good jobs, they are dense slow learners. College diploma be damned.

...strategy seems to be to bet that the Democratic party’s advantage on demographics and issues can overcome Clinton’s deficiencies as a candidate.

Uh huh.

This guy makes one good point: Hitlery (or Plugs, or Bernie) begins with a big electoral college advantage.

Overcoming the solid Demon Rat states (California, New York, Minnesota, Illinois, Michigan and Pennsylvania as well as the little states in New England) is going to be tough for a Republican.

104% turnout in some inner city precincts that vote 99.7% Democrat really helps the fascists.

No way this woman votes for her due to her gender. That’s as bad as the women who gush at how “handsome” male candidates are. If that’s as far as your thought process leads you; it’s no wonder why we are rapidly declining

Why Benghazi Still Makes a Difference

Hillary Clinton may not see the point, but her Thursday testimony may tell us much about her ability to lead.

By John Bolton
Oct. 20, 2015 6:12 p.m. ET

Only in Perry Mason stories does the real culprit break down in open court. After Hillary Clinton’s now-immortal Capitol Hill outburst about investigations into the deadly 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya—“What difference, at this point, does it make?”—the former secretary of state and Democratic candidate for president is unlikely to offer any such spontaneity when she testifies Thursday before the House Select Committee on Benghazi.

Nonetheless, the committee’s work is utterly serious, its preparations extensive (and extensively stonewalled by Mrs. Clinton’s team) and its mission vital to our fight against still-metastasizing Islamist terrorism. Much is at stake. The hearing’s focus must be on the key policy and leadership implications of the mistakes made before, during and after the murders of Amb. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans on Sept. 11 three years ago.
Morning Editorial Report

Before the attack, there was ample warning that the U.S. consulate in Benghazi wasn’t secure, with terrorist threats in the area multiplying. Even the International Red Cross had pulled out of Benghazi. After a string of requests from the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli for more security, in mid-August came a joint Embassy-CIA recommendation to move the State Department’s people into the CIA’s Benghazi compound. The State Department in Washington was invariably unresponsive, even though, as Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey later testified, the rising terrorist threat in Libya was well known.

Given her self-proclaimed central role in deposing dictator Moammar Gadhafi, why was Mrs. Clinton so detached from the deteriorating situation in Libya? She has so far dodged the issue, pawning off such “technical” matters on her subordinates. Working in the State Department in 1990 when Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, I saw firsthand how Secretary of State James Baker dived into every detail of safeguarding U.S. diplomats stranded in Kuwait City. If earlier secretaries of state have been perfectly prepared to get their fingernails dirty in operational details when those under their responsibility were threatened, why wasn’t Mrs. Clinton?

If Buckley could read this twaddle he would jump up out of that grave and snatch this wanker baldheaded.
