“Ok... how about Ross Perot”
Perot was third party candidate. We don’t have a third party candidate.
Actually, there are now six identifiable entities in America that would have been called “political parties” years ago.
We have the Establishment Republicans (RNC), Kasish, Ryan, McConnell, etc.
We have the Tea Party-like Republicans, Cruz,
We have what is effectively the “Populist sort-of-Republican Party, Trump
We have the DNC in Hillary
We have the Democratic Socialists in Saunders
and we have the ultra-far left Obama Progressive (Radical Socialist) Dems, in Obama, Kerry, Eliz. Warren.
Everyone is so very concerned about the split in the overall Republican Party that they forget how far apart Obama is from Clinton. They hate each other at a core, visceral level. To her, Obama “stole” her 2008 presidential shoe-in. Right now Hillary is publicly embracing his policies so she can compete against Saunders, but at a level most do not begin to comprehend, they hate each other.
The latest example of this was the late November dinner meeting where Hillary “demanded” that Obama kill the DOJ investigation of her emails and the Clinton Foundation. Obama would not, and he and Michelle even seemed to enjoy refusing Hillary, with that sick little smile of his.
Hillary and Bill were beyond livid. Any “patching up” they had done in the 7 years since January 2017 was swept away and destroyed in that 90 minute meeting.
Remember, she only took the SOS job because he agreed to have the DNC pay off her personally-guaranteed campaign debts.
Hillary and Bill were so POed, she hardly ate a thing and left the WH without dessert, coffee, after dinner wine, as is usually the course.
More to come.
