She’s Melting…Melting

Just as the death of the spawn of Hades, Ramsay Bolton was satisfying for viewers in Season 6 of the HBO Original Series Game of Thrones, news today that the Screeching Banshee’s lead over Donald Trump has withered to a meager 3 percentage points ushered in a mirthful schadenfreude for all the #NeverHillary folks out there.  She had it coming.

The release today of the latest Quinnipiac Poll shows Trump leads Clinton in Florida 42 to 39, in Pennsylvania he leads 43 to 41 and they are tied at 41 in Ohio.

Quinnipiac takes twelve days to compile their polling results.  That’s important because this poll was begun before FBI Director recommended Clinton not be charged for mishandling classified material and ended after Attorney General Loretta Lynch abdicated her responsibility as the head of Obama’s Department of Justice.

Although Clinton was not indicted legally she was indicted politically.  The facts surrounding “Emailgate” have borne out as a two-tiered system of justice—one for the politically well-connected and one for the rest of us.  The Q Poll also highlighted that Clinton’s unfavorables are now higher than Trump’s.

Except for stalwarts in her party, Hillary is universally despised.  Having outspent Trump 40 to 1 to this point in the campaign you’d think the Screeching Banshee would be 10, 20 maybe even 30 points ahead.  But she ain’t.

Hopefully America will reject the “extremely careless” hag in November.

The Imperial Blunder Of The Century

My lifetime has spanned the presidencies of Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush the Elder, Clinton, Bush the Younger and The Stuttering Clusterfuck of a Miserable Failure.

I didn’t need a poll to ostensibly direct me to a manifest conclusion that The World’s Most Dangerous Community Organizer is the worst president since World War II. 

It is said that hero worship is strongest where there is little regard for human freedom.  That axiom came to mind as I read the results of the latest Gallup Poll in which we discover only 79% of Americans are satisfied with their level of freedom.  That is down from 91% in 2006.  Once the highest ranked country in the world on such polls, we have dropped to 36th place.  Other studies show that the greatest nation on Earth is dropping to the same low levels on freedom of the press, Internet speech and a whole host of other freedoms.

We have a floundering president who is suffering defeats in Iraq, Afghanistan, Egypt, Syria, Iran, Russia and the Ukraine. This is a corrupt, dishonest president who is morphing into a president worse than Jimmy Carter through indecision, insecurity and ineptitude.

A plurality of Americans on the eve Independence Day no longer trust the current occupant of the Oval Office and believe he is utterly incapable of leading the country.

Michael Goodwin encapsulates what most Americans have thought since Inauguration Day 2009:

“Losing the consent of the governed is a profound event, and there is no easy path back to public grace. His taunting of Republicans and critics in campaign-style events reinforces doubts about his fitness. Absorbed with self-pity and fixated on finding blame, he gives the impression of someone who never considers the possibility he might be part of the problem.”
