The Clinton Nonevent
Sanders lost what he could have had when he genuflected to Hillary and her Wall Street patrons.
Since Clinton is the candidate of Wall Street, it’s reasonable to assume that the power elite had a contingency plan in case Comey actually did his job. They did. Recall Joe Biden’s brief hints that he might seek the Democratic nomination. That was a card that could be played or ignored as events unwound.
The Biden option would have been greeted with fanfare and flourish. We would have heard this and much more: This is the election of our lifetime. Can the party afford an experiment with Sanders and risk a President Trump? Etc., etc.
Only someone with the odious history and presence of Hillary Clinton could make it a close race with Donald Trump. She polls just a point or two ahead of Trump in key states. A Biden candidacy would have carried the day.
President Biden would be an Obama light, a marginal improvement over the president’s dreadful record. Under Biden, we wouldn’t instigate a war with Russia. Middle East policy might be a bit more rational.
But, we would have the same United States Senate, the same House of Representatives, and the same spineless Supreme Court.
We’d have the same nonstop enrichment of Wall Street courtesy of just about everybody else in the country.
We’d have the same bloated military establishment, the same national security state interference in our private affairs, and the crippling budget to support both.
And, we would have the same crooked election system that put Clinton in a position where her illegal activities came to represent an issue of national significance.
We’ve been in a state of political and ethical free-fall for some time.
We’re about to hit bottom.
