Hillary is smarter than the other Democrats, and tougher than the other Democrats -- I'd still infinitely prefer any Republican to her, but if she were elected I wouldn't expect the government to just roll over and surrender, as it would if any other Democrat were elected.
Eventually, the country is going to wake up and realize that we are at war with ISLAM itself (I don't like this conclusion, but the almost universal silent acquiescence to the jihadists' rhetoric by the "moderate" Muslims EVEN IN THIS COUNTRY WHERE THEY ARE PHYSICALLY SAFE TO SAY WHAT THEY WANT forces me to it).
When that happens, it will rapidly become clear that we do NOT face an existential threat as we did in WWII or the Cold War. It may well take the loss of 1 or 2 U.S. cities, but once that happens it will all be over for the Muslims. The West is enervated and frivolous right now, but it retains, deep down, a bred-in-the-bone capacity for overwhelming violence. Even the wimpy liberals who had been unable to imagine that those motivated primarily by religion could possibly become powerful enough to threaten their modern lifestyle will be just as fierce when the war comes home to them.
Once the U.S.A. comes together on this, it will all be over very quickly indeed.
That statement, for some reason reminded me of something I read one time. It went along these lines: "There is nothing more dangerous and ferocious as a pissed-off American GI."
