In politics, anything can happen. But at the rate things are going, Donald Trump seems increasingly likely to return to the Oval Office.
Last week, two-time presidential loser Hillary Clinton appeared on the “Tonight Show” to promote a Broadway show. Pressed to address the uncomfortable fact that President Biden is unpopular with even Democratic voters, Clinton’s response was positively…”deplorable.”
“What do you say to voters who are upset that those are the two choices?” asked “Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon.
“Get over yourself,” Clinton grumbled. “Those are the two choices.”

There’s a reason why she goes by “Madame Secretary” and not “Madame President.”
More seriously, it’s astonishing that Democrats keep committing these exact types of election-year gaffes. It’s astonishing that popular media keep elevating these unlikeable political celebrities during election years, apparently unaware that these “stars” have little to no purchase outside of faculty lounges and television studios. (See, for example, Beto O’Rourke, Wendy Davis and Stacey Abrams.)
What do you mean Hillary Clinton is unpopular? All the late-night hosts love her!
Ah, yes, but voters don’t. She’s unlikeable, and she has terrible political instincts.

LOL, that sounds like a distinction without a difference, but it made me grin to think of two conservatives arguing over that!
Wrong. President Trump’s victory is gonna dwarf 2016.
It’s very difficult to steal an election if there is more than 5 points separating candidates. The steal becomes too obvious.
Oooops, sent this note PM in mistake.
