En route to fight one of his many duels, French politician Georges Clemenceau bought a one-way train ticket. Was he pessimistic? "Not at all. I always use my opponent's return ticket for the trip back." Some Hillary Clinton advisors, although not that serene, think her victory is probable and can be assured.
Her challenge is analogous to Ronald Reagan's in 1980, when voters were even more intensely dissatisfied than they now are. There were hostages in Iran and stagflation's "misery index" (the sum of the inflation and unemployment rates) was 21.98. By August 1979, 84% of Americans said the country was on the wrong track. A substantial majority did not want to re-elect Jimmy Carter, but a majority might do so unless convinced that Reagan would be a safe choice. Reagan's campaign responded by buying time for several half-hour televised speeches and other ads stressing his humdrum competence.

BIG Question: What will happen with the Clinton’s FAUX marriage?
Any reason for it now to continue? From this point, why can’t Bill be open about all his women - and same for Hillary?

Probably the grave, within six months.My prediction as well, since well before yesterday. She has lived for this all her adult life; it is now clear that she has nothing left to live for, short of an epiphany and receiving Christ's saving grace. I wish that for her, as I do for all people, since God so loved the world, not simply that portion of the world that happens to agree with my politics. Barring that, however, her physical condition will fall to meet her psychic condition.

Interesting that you picked a nursing home that has been rated as one of the worst.Purely random. I read The Path Ahead For Hillary Clinton and that's what came to mind.

Not surprising. Will left the Republican Party earlier this year and has clearly become a liberal. His opinions no longer interest me.Indeed. No sense in shaking one's head at his inanities. He has gone over to the other side, pure and simple.

You may be right, I think she is a very sick person.

This is how the phony conservatives of the Republican establishment think.
I thought Will left the Republican party.

There probably is no Democratic governor or senator more palatable than Kaine to constitutional conservatives. Such conservatives are eager to bring presidential power back within constitutional constraints, and Kaine is among the distressingly small minority of national legislators interested in increased congressional involvement in authorizing the use of military force.I knew it. George is on drugs.
