Normally, reverberating feminist truisms would deserve neither ink nor air, but American politics is no longer normal. Donald Trump is its ringmaster now. Brash, egotistic and determined to play by no rules but his own, Trump has bulldozed the conventional understanding of how politics is to be played, what may be said and how to deal with opponents.

Should it be Trump vrs Clinton, I stay home. I refuse to vote for the lesser of two liberals.
Ted Cruz is either the nominee in 2016 or we can kiss any chances of saving the country good-bye.
Oh, she deserves Trump. She really does. Until and unless she repents, an option any serious Christian (which Trump doesn’t seem to be, but that doesn’t excuse the rest of us) would of course want to see her take. But sometimes it takes hitting rock bottom.
She wants to launch a cat fight doesn’t she. Well Cat, meet the Dog.
It won’t be fun unless Hillary is soundly beaten. As long as she has a chance of winning, I’ll be on edge.
You are probably more than made up for by the folks who never wanted to bother to vote until a sufficiently good reason appeared.
Trump will have to go thermonuclear on Satan’s daughter during the debates. With her drinking and medical history, HilLIARy may stroke out.
Somehow I don’t think the survival (or not) of our grand nation teetering on the edge sounds much like “great fun”.
All kidding aside, I do believe that is a very distinct possibility.
Haha!
As much as I dislike liberals and liberalism, I can only imagine my antipathy getting worse should HRC get the election. And all imagination aside, she is heavily favored by the mechanics of the electoral college to do so. How people who claim to have brains can vote for such a pathological criminal liar is completely beyond me.
Trumps is our only nuke. Cruz has already started backing down on what's "fair game" with Hillary and what is not.
We’re on to you guys...so we’re sticking with Trump.
Serious question. If Democrats are so favored by the mechanics of the electoral college, why do they want to abolish it?
Well ya know there ARE greater things in existence. Like the Lord.
Trump may be the gift we didn’t want, but desperately need. He’s looking more and more like the Drano to our political plumbing when all we’ve been doing is debating exactly what to do with the backup sewage.
When Bill Clinton was president, he allowed Hillary to assume authority over a health care reform. Even after threats and intimidation, she couldn’t even get a vote in a democrat controlled congress. This fiasco cost the American taxpayers about $13 million in cost for studies, promotion, and other efforts.
Then President Clinton gave Hillary authority over selecting a female attorney general. Her first two selections were Zoe Baird and Kimba Wood - both were forced to withdraw their names from consideration. Next she chose Janet Reno - husband Bill described her selection as “my worst mistake.” Some may not remember that Reno made the decision to gas David Koresh and the Branch Davidian religious sect in Waco, Texas resulting in dozens of deaths of women and children.
Husband Bill allowed Hillary to make recommendations for the head of the Civil Rights Commission. Lani Guanier was her selection. When a little probing led to the discovery of Ms. Guanier’s radical views, her name had to be withdrawn from consideration.
Apparently a slow learner, husband Bill allowed Hillary to make some more recommendations. She chose former law partners Web Hubbel for the Justice Department, Vince Foster for the White House staff, and William Kennedy for the Treasury Department. Her selections went well: Hubbell went to prison, Foster (presumably) committed suicide, and Kennedy was forced to resign.
Many younger voters will have no knowledge of “Travelgate.” Hillary wanted to award unfettered travel contracts to Clinton friend Harry Thompson – and the White House Travel Office refused to comply. She managed to have them reported to the FBI and fired. This ruined their reputations, cost them their jobs, and caused a thirty-six month investigation. Only one employee, Billy Dale was charged with a crime, and that of the enormous crime of mixing personal and White House funds. A jury acquitted him of any crime in less than two hours.
Still not convinced of her ineptness, Hillary was allowed to recommend a close Clinton friend, Craig Livingstone, for the position of Director of White House security. When Livingstone was investigated for the improper access of about 900 FBI files of Clinton enemies (Filegate) and the widespread use of drugs by White House staff, suddenly Hillary and the president denied even knowing Livingstone and, of course, denied knowledge of drug use in the White House. Following this debacle, the FBI closed its White House Liaison Office after more than thirty years of service to seven presidents.
Next, when women started coming forward with allegations of sexual harassment and rape by Bill Clinton, Hillary was put in charge of the “bimbo eruption” and scandal defense. Some of her more notable decisions in the debacle were:
*She urged her husband not to settle the Paula Jones lawsuit. After the Starr investigation they settled with Ms. Jones.
*She refused to release the Whitewater documents, which led to the appointment of Ken Starr as Special Prosecutor. After $80 million dollars of taxpayer money was spent, Starr’s investigation led to Monica Lewinsky, which led to Bill lying about and later admitting his affairs.
Hillary’s devious game plan resulted in Bill losing his license to practice law for ‘lying under oath’ to a grand jury and then his subsequent impeachment by the House of Representatives.
Hillary avoided indictment for perjury and obstruction of justice during the Starr investigation by repeating, “I do not recall,” “I have no recollection,” and “I don’t know” a total of 56 times while under oath.
After leaving the White House, Hillary was forced to return an estimated $200,000 in White House furniture, china, and artwork that she had stolen.
Now we are exposed to the destruction of possibly incriminating emails while Hillary was Secretary of State and the “pay to play” schemes of the Clinton Foundation - we have no idea what shoe will fall next. But to her loyal fans - “what difference does it make?”
Since leaving the White House, the Clinton’s, through 2014, have made $221,139,576.00 and BOTH are drawing taxpayer funded U. S. Government pensions.
Trump could very easily run Hillary ragged to the point where she would either have a nervous breakdown or stroke. We’ve seen from her “campaign” so far that she is very easily fatigued, can’t handle more than a couple of events per week, while Trump can run rings around her every day of the week, and doesn’t mind having one press availability after another on a daily basis, while Clinton hides, or stage manages her appearances.
In one way it won’t:
Hillary will have ads 24 hrs a day because the RINO donors will be backing her, in addition to the usual scum.
She, literally, will have more money than she knows what to do with.
You missed the word “ambition” describing both sides except I think Trump will make America become great again. He is about ego and leaving behind a great legacy. He is the right man for the country right now. Like him or not he will make sure based on his ambition will reverse political correctness that is killing the country. I hope you will understand.
