“”But the stakes couldn’t be higher. It’s worth it to tarnish himself a bit now to win the presidency.””
That is exactly what this is about. A third term of the co-presidency.
That our political system has reached the point where a single family can gain such control over their party and command such media support to pull this off as an end-run around constitutional term limits is frightening as hell. While the dynastic claim can be made about Bush as well, it is a very different case as Gov. Bush wasn’t even on the radar until 1999 and his father certainly did not run the GOP. The Clintons have not released control of the DNC in 8 years!
What you say is perfectly true — but it cannot be ignored that this could not be happening without the express “permission” of this country. They are where they are in power, privilege, control, influence, and government because we as Americans put them there. And for that, we will all pay as we have been. Although we as conservatives are not directly responsible, we are indeed part of a larger mass of people who have allowed this country to be apathetic and dependent and screaming about our “rights.” When people get away with treason by way of a very sad and dangerous misinterpretation of the first amendment, it’s time for us to wake up. All of us.

Its called an oligarchy. IMHO, the natural consequence of a decreasing tax base..5% of the nation paid 60% of the taxes last year....That 5% owns and runs the government. Hillary’s got the dirt on all of them...and she has been selected as their next leader.
