the blackmail, coercion, payoffs, political favors, intimidation, lying that got her this far is incalculable.
She runs the Dem party! She’ll stay on the ticket if she is bedridden from now to November.
I think there’s two power centers in the Dem Party. Hers, of course, and Obama/Jarrett’s. They don’t particularly like each other, but they work together.
The Clinton bunch wants power for themselves and a dynasty for Chelsea. They’re willing to sell us out to the Chinese (as they did in the 90’s with guidance technology) and the Saudis, but don’t care about ideology.
The Obama/Jarrett group wants power, but has a bigger religious/racial ideological component. I’m starting to believe that Obama sees himself as a racial/Muslim unifier. He seems to support both Iran and Saudi Arabia, even though they have the Shia-Sunni differences. And it’s obvious that whites are low on the Obama scale of preference.
Both are willing to use the resources of the country to their ends, and the Dem Party, along with its dependents and useful idiots, is their means.
I don’t know which is more powerful. The Clintons are entrenched, but their health is failing, and the Obama/Jarrett group has been closer to the levers of power since 2008.
