You already know this. I’m one of the failed predictors who
thought Hillary Clinton was the unsinkable Democrat Party nominee. Now the HRC luxury yacht is being tossed about
upon a fickle sea of Sturm und Drang and, as she tries to brazen things out, her
bilge pumps aren’t working fast enough to keep the boat from sinking.
The entire Democrat Party edifice at this time hinges on
manipulating public perceptions on the Iraq War, Benghazi, Server-Gate, more red
lines in the sand (even while ISIS mounts chemical attacks on Iraqi Kurd
Peshmergas with WMD obtained from Assad’s stockpiles or the late Saddam Hussein’s)
the rising health care costs most people are experiencing as the direct result
of Obamacare, the Iran Nuclear capitulation, the willful failure to secure
adequate and vitally necessary status of forces agreements in both Iraq and
Afghanistan, and the Democrats congressional throttling of the former
Republican president’s attempts to maintain a stable Iraq after the successful
surge.
Yes, I am saying that many Democrats were willing to see Iraq and
Afghanistan collapse for no other reason than to punish George W. Bush in a
mass suicidal Guyana style attempt to salvage their self-fulfilling surrender
monkey foreign policy. These latter failures are a national disgrace and glaring
insult to the honor of the veterans and veteran’s families who suffered and
died in the service of American democracy.
So then you have Hillary Clinton with her finger in the dike
holding back the flood of rebellious Democrats who have gotten a whiff of the
whole stinking mess.
There are several things to consider. The Dems don’t have a fallback position
unless Biden gets into the race, in which case it will have a weak one. Even
Elizabeth Warren would be seen as a duplicate Bernie Sanders and it is
understood she couldn’t possibly match the huge crowds Sanders has already
drawn away from the center-left Democrat coalition.
President Obama has to bet either bet on a horse about which
much is known and too little of it good or he has to put his faith into a
second tier candidate who hasn’t yet had the courage to spell out what the
public knows already from reading the newspapers.
Then there are Hillary Clinton’s repeated lies about
classified information disseminated (to who knows what enemies) on her private
server. Even socialist Democrat (whatever that is, exactly) Bernie Sanders hasn’t
dared to comment on Hillary’s maintenance of an illegal private server to
conduct the people’s business, the erasure and deep wiping of the memory, and
much more.
The much more has to do with how much pressure President
Obama can bring to bear on his newly appointed Attorney General, and on the FBI
which has seized Hillary’s email server and is presumably trying to resurrect the
data. Or cover things up with some kind
of vague blanket statement about finding it unethical but not rising to a
criminal level. Look out for and read carefully between the lines about what
happens now, what statements are made in this regard, and especially look to
see what direction the Obama inner group is taking.
In light of the congressional inquiry, the FBI and IG
investigation, Obama may think ultimately that the risk is too great to
continue to prop up Hillary Clinton. After all, the relationship between Hillary and Barack wasn't ever anything more than the political equivalent of a convenient one-night stand anyway.
