Is it being too optimistic
to anticipate a win for the Republicans in 2016? I ask only because the other guys have on
their side the former mayor of Baltimore and governor of Maryland who admits
his state botched the rollout of its Obamacare health exchange. There’s the fossil from Vermont who published
some creepy rape fantasies and the Republican turncoat who made the daring
suggestion that America embrace the metric system joking, “It doesn’t take long
to realize that 34° is hot.”
I totally discount Biden and Jim Webb. Biden is grief-stricken and entirely too
gaffe-prone and Webb, well, he’s the former senator from Virginia, a Reagan
Democrat who has called
for “increased congressional input and presidential leadership in laying
out coherent foreign policy values for dealing with other countries and
potential threats.” He doesn’t fit the
progressive mold.
The electorate is being exposed once again to an
endless loop of scandals and the accompanying criticism from both sides of the
aisle against America’s most famous grifters.
The latest revelations against Hillary, Bill and
their foundation prompted foaming-at-the-mouth liberal wunderkind Jeffrey
Sachs to bring out his long knives: "The
Clintons are the ultimate schmoozers. Bill Clinton’s the one that opened the
Democratic party to Wall Street…really wrecked the party in ideological terms,
and created a lot of mischief and now we see, frankly, in utter pursuit of
money all the time.”

The Wall Street Journal Op-Ed page
maintains, “The media’s focus is on Hillary Clinton’s time as secretary of
state, and whether she took official actions to benefit her family’s global charity.
But the mistake is starting from the premise that the Clinton Foundation is a ‘charity.’ What’s clear by now is that this family
enterprise was set up as a global shakedown operation, designed to finance and
nurture the Clintons’ continued political ambitions. It’s a Hillary super PAC
that throws in the occasional good deed.”
The Clintons' irresponsibility is immense. Long-suffering Haiti, caught in the grips of the Clinton machine. http://t.co/KPr0s3RJXw

Clinton allies are
insisting to all who listen that the foundation exists to do good. It does. It
exists to do very good things for Hillary and Bill and all their longtime
allies. And in that, it has succeeded beautifully.
Was my Photoshop™ too harsh?
