You know, that sounds a lot like how I felt after Romney. And McCain. And Dole.

And damned-near every presidential candidate the GOP has offered up since the Gipper.

Don’t disagree with the author, but somehow he entirely ignored the massive criminal investigation of Her Thighness. She’s in a heap of trouble. Of course Loretta Lynch will probably cover for her. but even still an FBI recommendation of prosecution would be a disaster for them.

yeah, the Saudi royals aren't too happy either considering they're going to lose their $100 million bribe they paid to the hag and her pimp

The only slightly decent presidential candidate the Dems had in years was Jim Webb. That ain’t saying much but he was even hardly a blip on the DemRat radar screen.

the money paid was for services rendered, not service to be performed

She should have paid Webb and O'Malley to stay in the race to sharpen her skills and to make it look like more of a competition.

They could have taken a few votes from Trump and Sanders, too.

Hillary is the new Nixon -- unpopular with the voters.

Look for some dirty tricks from her people in the fall.

More and more with each day the odds of Hillary making it to the starting gate are diminishing. She will be scratched before the post parade in Philly. Look for our beloved VP, Joe Bidenhisass to make a dramatic rescue of the drowning rats.

What did Herself possess, or have access to, that made her so attractive to the power brokers of the Left? Herself is not likable, not actually very much of a deep thinker, and fails to engage even when offered a chance to grab the low-hanging fruit.

Certainly the power once gained from having hundreds of FBI files of raw data on other highly-placed individuals in both her own and the opposition’s parties has been either pretty much outed by now, or is no longer relevant, as many of those people who were movers and shakers from the 1990’s have moved on or retired.

Or died.

Even Nixon did not have such a vindictive attitude towards his rivals.

I’m not convinced the Democrats want the presidency this time. We’ve had over 20 years of big spending. That bill is going to come due.

Our foreign policy is a shambles.

The Democrats like to spend money, but they don’t really want to govern.

as long as trump stays with the sessions stategy (protect and advance the working people of America), he’s headed for a landslide win.

I actually have a signed copy of Webb's book, A Sense of Honor, about the Naval Academy around here somewhere. He signed it for me when he was SecNav.

Supposedly the protagonist was modeled after Oliver North who graduated with Webb's Class in 1968. Ollie lost a year due to injuries from an auto accident. Ollie beat Jim in a championship boxing match.
