Is Donald Trump a politician?  You better believe it!!

synonyms:

legislator, elected official, statesman, stateswoman, public servant; More

• US

  a person who acts in a manipulative and devious way, typically to gain advancement within an organization.

Donald Trump may not appreciate being connected to the field of politics, but the definition of the field fits "The Donald" to a tee. Unashamedly, Trump has always sold America a bill of goods that he's now hoping to use for a run at the highest office in the land. Unfortunately, he's so very good at politicking that he might just win this thing, and even Trump seems to be growing afraid of a job that is much more appealing to throw darts at versus dodging them for 4-8 years.

Despite a GOP party that has mostly allowed Trump to be as abrasive as he'd like, Trump is now threatening to go Ross Perot and do the third party run which would likely do for the Clinton family exactly what it did for them the first time when Bill Clinton unseated George H.W. Bush thanks to an assist from third party Perot.  Trump is manipulating the American political process in a devious way to gain advancement- but not within the GOP necessarily who are hopelessly tied to a disjointed party platform that isn't inspiring mainstream America like it used to.  In order to really fix his hot button issue- immigration, President Trump will have to really be a friend of Mexico and not just a politician that criticizes them and later pretends to have a bond with these ridiculed people just because he hires so many of them

Trump hasn't had to change his message because he's politically savvy to alter it just enough to ease the heat.  When his accusing the Mexican government of criminal mischief didn't play well on every air wave, Trump simply adjusted his message with a back handed compliment describing them (Mexico) as smarter and craftier than our government.  When asked by CNN's Anderson Cooper whether or not we have a problem with policing of black people in America in response to the Sandra Bland video, Trump remained politically non-committal by saying; 

"I hope we don't, but we might".

Trumpis not a lifelong elected politician because he is an even worse type of politician, similar to Rush Limbaugh who plays the game exclusively for personal gain and not for love of country.  Trump might be a victim of his own bombastic nature, but he seems way too bombastically calculated for any of us to treat him as an accidental tourist.  He's been on this journey in one form or another for as long as we've known him. Now, the only thing that has changed is the form of his hustle

Maybe he's going for political influence like Bill Clinton has used to create a worldwide corporate empire, sensing the end of "The Apprentice" and the need of a new reality television show to keep himself relevant to the world. Don't be surprised if all of these Trump Tower interviews are not being recorded by Trump to become the basis of some show that we get to buy from Trump  after the election season is over. 

Whatever the motivation, no candidate who continually raises his middle finger to the entire political process is really hoping to win it all in the end.  Trump is running a new kind of political game on the populace and some of us are so tired of that old game that we would play any new game just for the sake of change.  A third party run would keep the control of Trump's game squarely at Trump Towers and through Trump twitter feeds, two methods of message delivery that have cost "The Donald" no money and no energy for an amount of air time that he could never truly afford to pay for- especially with some questions over his actual wealth given the recent release of his financial documents.

He might not be quite as rich as he first told us, but he is still just as smart as he still claims to be. He graduated near the top of the best school in America (Wharton).  Assuming he wins,Trump would be relinquishing his access to wealth creation until he has fully finished his days as president of America.  Without question, his presidency would be a major income demotion for "The Donald", who's appears to be worth somewhere between 1.54 billion  and 10 billion in assets based upon document review.  If Trump is not seeking the presidency to diminish or destroy his entertainment value, he's not going to run without displaying it.  Until the rest of the media recognizes their role in Trump's manipulative game like the Huffington Post has realized, he will use them all as the key asset to his twisted self indulgence masquerading as a run at the presidency.

That's Entertainment!

The Huffington Post has decided that most of Trump's escapades are nothing more than acts of entertainment that deserve to be placed in the entertainment section and not on the front page of real news that covers real candidates who don't snub their noses at our process just to elevate themselves.  Whether you support their decision or not (I do), you have to acknowledge that the media seems more entertained by the Trump story than convinced that he's a viable option for the office.  For several days now, the same media that shoved their microphone's in the face of Trump so that they could laugh at his brashness has had to turn the microphone around on themselves while asking the question of, "why is it actually working?".

Political  pundits are usually fairly good prognosticators when determining the likely twists and turns of politics.  Most expect the crash and burn of Trump even while few can tell you when or how it begins.  This is the most unlikely of political stories, so judging its end is harder than explaining its existence in the first place.  Most people will tell you that he will eventually come back down to earth, but that is based upon normal political experience created under normal political circumstances.   The presidential run of Trump, while entertaining, is hardly normal.

It is also nothing if not a clear representation of some segment of the GOP voting block.  Worse tthan Mitt Romney, Trump would struggle as a GOP candidate in a general election, yet that doesn't matter to those who still question the birth of Barack Obama.  For years, Trump has lead this political charge against the president because it offered political attention that could be cashed in.  Trump is now leading a new political charge but for the same old political reason's.  Cashing in.

Would tough talk from Donald insure war with Putin?

Trump, who hurt his net worth with his toxic rhetoric, must use his political smarts to achieve the same political plan he's always displayed as a political entertainer.  Candidate Trump never planned  to console the families of the lost soldiers who die when president Trump upsets Vladimir Putin and must deploy troops in Ukraine. That's not the kind of entertainment Trump had in mind when he started this marketing plan.  $500,000-$750,000 per speech like Bill Clinton gets, however, is a great form of work for an old guy, and Trump (69) is a year older than Bill (68) and two years older than Hillary Clinton (67) and in need of an easier way to cash in on his persona.  If you don't connect Trump's entertainment plan to his peculiar political behavior then you too might remain a puppet in "The Donald's" twisted reality show.

If Hillary won't do interviews for the entertainment hungry press and the rest of the presidential field isn't entertaining enough to deserve free press, Trump is willing, ready and able to fill the entertainment void for them all.  So whenever its hard to make sense of a nation that seems hungry to watch the political performance of a circus clown, we have to keep in mind.

That's entertainment!

Hillary Is The Consummate Politician. Is That Her Achilles Heel?

Hard Choices and Stupid Decisions?
Is Hillary talking too much.

Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are en route to Martha's Vineyard to celebrate the birthday of Vernon Jordan's wife. Tensions have seemingly mounted recently among these families as Hillary continues to posture herself for a presidential bid. Part of that posturing included a denunciation of Obama's Iraq engagement, especially with the recent actions to send troops and military support back to the region.

My prediction is a lip kissing selfie.  What better way for Hillary to put to bed the criticism that she is getting for criticizing her former boss over Iraq.  As easy as it would be to dive into the inner workings of the Clinton-Obama relationship, I don't think it matters much.  Democrats remain united when it comes time to voting, and even if Clinton doesn't need Obama's presence, she will need his endorsement.  In reality, Obama needs Hillary too.  Losing the presidency in 2016 to the republicans will be more of an indictment on Obama's tenure than anything else.  Winning gives his signature legislation, Obamacare, a better chance of surviving a jilted congress still eager to gain a significant win over Obama.  Repealing his healthcare law gains revived energy if Republicans win the white house.

If my lip smacking selfie prediction holds true, it will testify to the necessity of Obama in Clinton's campaign calculations.  If calculations are the essence of the Clinton way, then Hillary might be proving herself the mastermind of this family.  Somehow, the Clinton's find a way to be on everybody's side, even Republicans when necessary, and that politically pragmatic penchant has now become a signature of their family; like a fragrance from someone familiar that tells of their coming or of their recent departure.

If the Clinton's were that cool uncle who still wears Brut by Faberge, then we might not be so annoyed with their odor.  For some reason their stench is no longer pleasant to the nostrils anymore.  They are starting to remind me of that sanitary hospital smell.  You are happy to smell it when you need the benefits and cleanliness of a hospital, but if you stay too long, the dirty smell of natural air provides a familiar comfort.

The Clinton's, especially Hillary, are way too sanitized.  Something so clean can be appreciated, but its unrealistic in a world full of germs.  If you eat 7 course meals with the elite for too long, something in your DNA will eventually long for an outdoor barbecue complete with flies and the 3 second rule on food that falls in the grass.

Hillary isn't unique in her political calculations, but she might be calculating the wrong numbers on this one.  The old America appreciated the Queen of Kings, Hillary Clinton.  Today's America needs the kind of leadership that sounds different then what we have heard for the past few years of congressional stagnancy.  Obama has taken the luster away from this historical moment thing anyway. Hillary might inspire a sexist nation to put another social feather in its cap, but she will have to do it being something other than the best  of the same old stuff we've seen for years.

Right now, she is the consummate politician.  Given the rancor associated with that word, this might just be her Achilles heel.  For Hillary to burn a trail to the White House, she will need to behave in a much less common way so that the public doesn't continue to see her as another predictable politician.  In other words, don't prep the public for your presidential bid by undercutting your former boss, just announce early or shut up completely until you do.

Hillary Clinton Could Run, Win Presidency. But Why Bother?

There is no question she might run and it's really
possible she wins.  The question is, Why Bother?

Sometimes in politics it becomes important to get to know potential candidates.  When it comes to Hillary Clinton, there might not be anyone more familiar.

Nonetheless, the trend in politics and in the news streams that follow, has been to litigate the Hillary case before she gets to do it for herself.  In essence, the hope is to define her for America, as though we have no preconceived notion of who she is, or that the one we had was ill-conceived.

When Hillary was just an ex-Secretary of State who was looking for a little relaxation (and distance) from the sins of her years beneath Barack Obama, she caught a few darts here and there, but achieved the seclusion and peace she sought. As she postures to become president, her sins are resurfacing.  Some of these sins were ones of commission, but most are destined to be sins of kinship as Obama opponents race to sully his record and muddy Hillary in the process.

Because she is Hillary Clinton, the 2nd half of a two part political machine with partner and husband Bill, referring to her on a last name basis is beyond confusion.  Hillary is her own lady and a political machine in her own right.  The Clinton family took it on the chin against Obama and then insured he got a second term.  Without them, President Romney  would still be explaining why ObamaCare and RomneyCare are different.  She is certainly a part of the world famous Clinton's...but she is Hillary, the most powerful Clinton of all.

She is the most powerful Clinton because she offers the key back to the White House (does the White House have keys?) Through her, the Clinton agenda can be furthered in a powerful way.  What that agenda was during their last stint in the Oval Office is still a matter of much debate.  What it has become in the days and years since has become more clear.  Clear enough for the Clinton family to become world wide power players.  CGI (Clinton Global Initiative) has become a brand for corporate humanitarian outreach.  Hillary's recent foray's across the world have given her a deeper capacity, and sensitivity for world affairs, as well as the gravitas to demand influence abroad.

As President of the United States of America, Hillary could design the Clinton global identity into the office she would possess.  The capacity to alter how we influence world events would forever be changed by president Hillary Clinton.  She has an opportunity like no other woman in recent times, to change the forecast for women everywhere, in America and around the world.  Hillary could kick the ball up the road a bit further on issues of gender equality, and she even might offer something that often gets quieted at crucial moments in history, a woman's perspective.  If she only didn't have that Congress thing to deal with.

No person is ever functionally qualified to assume the office of the President of the United States of America until years after you get the job.  Without a second term, it is hard to really dream of accomplishing much as a president.  Hillary is the greatest exception to that rule.  No one in modern history is more aware of the nature of this job than she is, haven seen it from several angles.  In fact, without doing any research (not much needed here) she will have seen this role from more angles than any human ever (Citizen, First Lady, Senator, Secretary of State), assuming she wins the job. Her resume is ironclad, but it is also framed and publicly displayed so that anyone can take their best shots at it.

Although their aim is a bit awry, republicans have let off a bunch of rounds at Hillary.  Yet, up until lately, the angle of attack has been Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi, and you are a friend of Obama. The moment Hillary's friend captured the guy who is believed to have masterminded the Benghazi attack, opponents quickly said he was a small fish (of course) and scrambled to come up with a new angle of attacking Hillary.

The new angle?

Today, Hillary is being attacked for being rich.  I said they were scrambling, but in the scramble they decided to pull out the video called "The Assassination of Mitt Romney".  Being too rich to be sensitive was the first card played in the hand against Hillary.....and it worked.  Hillary stumbled over her wealth like a pile of money left behind in a dark room and forgotten until you returned into that seldom used room.  Hillary sat that pile of money in the room along with a bunch of pictures of her and nerdy Bill and Chelsea from back in the day.  She even framed copies of the lawsuits she and Bill faced that broke the bank as they left office during his presidency.  It was called her sensitivity room and she got the idea from her good friend, comedian Dave Chappelle.

Chappelle told Hillary to remember where she came from because whether you are rich or poor, people who oppose you will search for any reason (that you give them) to bring you down.  Chappelle also told Hillary to always respond to her wealth in one way, and one way only:

"I'm Rich Biatch!!!"

Okay, Chappelle may or may not have shared his philosophy with Hillary.  Chappelle may not even agree with the philosophy, but he did tell the world "I'm Rich Biatch" and made NO apology for being rich.  When Hillary tripped over that mountain of money, she gave an opening to opponents who had little to work with up until now.  How rich opponents will extend this line of attack into an effective campaign approach against Hillary is a bigger mystery, but for now, they don't have to worry about all of that because she has not declared herself a candidate.  The current line of attack on Hillary is nothing more than an attack of the shadow she is casting upon a race that is months from getting under way.

Not everyone likes Hillary. Not everyone should.  She should be vetted and investigated and questions should be asked and answered about any would be president. Just because Hillary has glared at the man in the oval office from so many angles doesn't mean she can endure being the woman with all eyes on her.  She needs to prove to us that being the first woman president is something she can handle, with the duty of just being the president ever looming.  These are the things SHE must see, from her own perspective, as essential aspects of the road she might travel.

WE must realize that congress, and America, is broken beyond recognition, possibly beyond repair.  Political extremist' might be on an agenda of ruining the process so much that they win control by default.  Hillary could expand her fingerprint across the world and further the Clinton social agenda by assuming the office.  Beyond that, what is there really to gain.  She is not too old for the office (Reagan was older) but she might be too old for the bullshit.  Who would want to waste some great years of life with kids and grandkids, while playing cowboys and Indians (I didn't say Redskins) in Washington D.C.?

Hillary Clinton and the entire Clinton family are to be commended for their dedication to public service.  Yes, it has made them rich, as it should for every person who gives of themselves in this fashion.  Is their any person, regardless of party affiliation, that wouldn't take any ex-president at your commencement?  Speaking engagements cost money and ex-presidents can make a boat load if others care to hear what you have to say.  Its while in the role of president that they CAN NOT make a lot of money, or gain a lot of appreciation, or get a heck of a lot done ANYMORE.

Hillary might run for president.....or she might just say,Why Bother?

Pursuit of the Presidency: Hillary's Journey Will Go Through Land Of Barack Or Billville

Thanks to a stellar record that extends itself way back to before the Clinton presidency. Hillary Clinton has worked to make  a name for her self.  Although we know her name and thought we knew the person reasonably well, the next 2 years will reveal Hillary Clinton in a manner that we have never quite seen.

HRC - (Hillary Rodham Clinton), is an esoteric rebranding of Hillary by those who move to do such things upon the eve of an election.  An Amazon excerpt on HRC reads as follows:

Order Me Now!

"The story of Hillary’s phoenix like rise is at the heart of HRC, a riveting political biography that journeys into the heart of “Hillaryland” to discover a brilliant strategist at work. Masterfully unfolded by Politico’s Jonathan Allen and The Hill’s Amie Parnes from more than two hundred top-access interviews with Hillary’s intimates, colleagues, supporters, and enemies, HRC portrays a seasoned operator who negotiates political and diplomatic worlds with equal savvy." (Amazon.com)

It is hard to clearly calculate how a Hillary presidency might play out.  She has an advantage that none of her male predecessors ever enjoyed.  Hillary has just about done it all.  Hillary is both an insider and an outsider at the same time.  She knows the ins and outs but should be far enough from it all to maintain sufficient deniability.

 Hillary had an inside view of the enormity of being the president, and was a Senator, and Secretary of State.  She tried and failed at universal healthcare before Barack got it done so there are a few key areas of attack that Hillary may be prone to, but not many of them involve Hillary directly.

Ask Rand Paul.  He understands the strengths of this political engine, but what he doesn't realize is that what was once an 18 wheel diesel has become a freight train.  Hillary is undoubtedly going to be aided by the masterful skill and the positive record of her husband Bill, but he is the caboose of this train.  Hillary no longer relies on him as she might have prior to her latest round of seasoning.  If  Monica Lewinsky is revived, Bill could become the bane of her existence if his philandering becomes central to her trust quotient that is an element of being presidential. At least that is what Paul is hoping for.

Paul is more than a conservative, he is a republican rebel (aka Libertarian) so he must offer up red meat for his rebel republican base, which the attack on Bill represents. What is unclear is whether or not he will shift gears  to hook the Hillary caboose to the Obama legacy.  If Barack Obama is still fighting for the merits of his signature healthcare law, Hillary will hug up closely to Bill and avoid Barack like the plague.  If ObamaCare is thriving and not simply surviving, Hillary will have the best of both worlds to choose from, but may track back to Barack in order to define herself independent of her famous husband.

The biggest danger for Hillary is showing up too soon for this party.  Hillary could almost benefit her hopes by pretending that she may not actually run instead of leaning her head into the fray.  Today's modern media frenzy, which has seen the next presidential election start way too soon, is only valuable to the media outlets who need ratings.  To the candidates themselves, less is almost always better.  The longer you stay out in the battle, the more bruised you become.

HRC, the above mentioned book, is the beginning of the Hillary bruising.  In it, Hillary is depicted as a strategic, wheeling and dealing pragmatist. This book offers an insider perspective on the path to become the most powerful woman alive, but it reveals the toes that get stepped on along the way.  HRC shows the Clinton that we already expected and the unknown Clinton with a capacity for retribution.  With the Benghazi to Bridgegate comparisons, it is likely that Hillary will gain more comparisons to her potential republican opponent.  

The reality with Hillary is that she will be the only potential candidate treated as the foregone conclusion.  Her pathway to the presidency is paved in platinum and trimmed in gold.  If she isn't ready to start the walk yet, then her opponents will simply have to fire their bombs at her platinum pathway.

Pursuit of the Presidency: Rand Paul Becomes Candidate, Calls Out The Opposition

For many republican candidates that are shining their shoes for a power shift in November, destroying Obama and his Care feels like a winning message.  If you are in a state that happened to block the medicaid expansion and gerrymandered the vote in your favor, you are expecting big things from the House and bigger things from the Senate elections.

Winning the House is a foregone conclusion, but the only way republicans take over the Senate is the abject failure of ObamaCare and not just screams of pending doom. For many republicans, ObamaCare offers  enough of a winning opportunity to have already gone "all-in" against it.

Rand Paul can't get off so easy.  He and his congressional cohorts are currently in a more systematic war against the Obama political machine.  They not only need to render him a lame duck, they need to roast him and glaze him in orange sauce.  The problem with putting heat to his message is that it burns the line that connects Hillary back to Obama. Like most things Obama, republicans will continue the attack no matter how personally damaging it becomes.

As for Paul, in order to best prepare himself for the battle ahead, he has acknowledged which Clinton he will run against.  If he is fortunate enough to run against the OG of universal care herself,  he could easily build an effective narrative.  This Clinton was in the white house when she first had the healthcare dream, and became a Senator when the law got enacted, pushing hard for the mandates that republicans now abhor. A failed ObamaCare will be tied to this Clinton for sure.

If you haven't noticed, Paul is not posturing to take on this Clinton at all.  He is posturing to take on the Clinton that got Obama elected simply for the power of "splaining things".  Paul is perfectly clear about the challenge before him, and understands who he represents.  Paul represents a party that will push him forward even if the GOP will not, so he has to talk like a conservative but fight for the Libertarian..  The Libertarian will functionally dismantle government, leaving behind whatever they deem "necessary".  In other words, he is the voice of a radical movement within mainstream America.

What does the voice of the radical sound like when fighting for an electoral advantage?  Take a listen.

Rand Paul chasing after Bill (not Barack) in attack of Hillary.

If for any reason his words sound harsh, think of them in the context of his options.  If he could pull up a nasty pie chart about the Clinton economy he would have already done that.  Bill Clinton is not only good at explaining stuff, he has the pie charts during his presidency to give him street cred, even against democratic enemies.  The only real line of attack that Bill offers up as a result of his presidential legacy is that of Lewinsky.  Republicans otherwise look at him as the unfair advantage of the other side.

The angry white man who is rapidly watching his nation being wrestled from his grip and is fighting to conserve the last memories of the land his father promised him. He has decided that he might not even listen if the message is not from the mouth of one of his own.  No one has destroyed the legacy of Bill Clinton enough to keep him out of the ear of those voters who every politician is hoping to influence.

Rand Paul is a few undeniable things.  He is number two on the GOP, likely to run poll (10% favor Paul).  He is also the most likely to run of them all, evidenced by many recent behaviors. Paul's Bill bashing is just the most recent campaigning signal. More than anything, Rand Paul is the person most clear about Bill's ability to neutralize Obama's connection to Hillary; most clear about  making Obama unnecessary in regards to his role on the stump.

There really is no question how hard Bill will work to fulfill this journey. He will become the rock beneath Hillary's feet.  Paul has to chisel Mt. Bill down to a sizable rock or he, and all other republicans, won't be able to get close enough to Hillary to even make it a fair fight.  Whatever you are seeing right now from Paul is the only card he has to play.

Pursuit of the Presidency: "Uncle Sugar", Mike Huckabee, Rises To The Top Of GOP Race

Political prognostication is an evolving industry.  Back in the day, cable networks across the nation were flooded with mystical offerings like the famous Miss Cleo.  Sure, there are those who like the fun and intrigue of a good reading, but most people find it to be nothing more than entertainment, much like what we do everyday in professional sports.  The Miss Cleo's of modern political punditry are finding a similar demand to this mystical mayhem of old.

And what does Miss Cleo say about the prospects for the next republican presidential candidate?

Right now Uncle Sugar has taken a lead in the conservative run at the presidency.  Miss Cleo reserves the right to change her visionary prediction (as poll numbers change), but right now, Mike "Uncle Sugar" Huckabee has taken the lead.

Few would have expected him to even gain support for the presidency after failed attempts in the past.  In a recent speech, Huckabee denounces women who can't control their libido enough to pay for their own birth control without the help from Uncle Sugar. This statement got as much notice from those who support his thoughts as it did from those who never met their uncle named sugar.

For the laymen who did not catch his coin of phrase, Uncle is a reference to Uncle Sam and Sugar is a reference to the term Sugar Daddy, a man who pays a woman (non-prostitute) for her time and wares. What he did not quite realize is that whoever takes over the role of president becomes the embodiment of this mythical "Uncle Sugar" that he speaks of.  If Huckabee seeks to become president, he will also become Uncle Sugar.

Since those who actually respond to polls will segment their support from the list of the most likely's, no one candidate has gained a larger percentage than the 14% support that Uncle Sugar possesses.  I have seen polls that show Mitt Romney at or near the top (14%-15%), but no one yet believes that Ann Romney will let him run again. However, the mere notion that Uncle Sugar is leading the pre-preseason race speaks to the most resounding force in the republican party right now.

The religious right is ready to place its fingerprint on this race.  They are tired of losing with left leaning candidates because invariably, you will look back on your failures and always wonder if the compromise was the cause.  A moderate candidate might just make it through again, simply because prudence dictates these things, but this will be a bruising battle to win the party nomination.

Uncle Sugar might appeal to Tea Party religiosity, but he does not seem equipped to raise the money it takes to give more bruising then you take in a primary battle, and comes off as a bit too sour to become that sweet uncle we depend on to support our pleasures.

Is There More Good Than Bad With Hillary Clinton?

If you have a dog in the fight, there is an inherent danger in counting your political chickens before they come home to roost (or hatch).  It is easy to anoint Hillary Clinton as our likely next president for more reason's than our love of Hillary Clinton. In fact, the reason's for Hillary may have nothing to do with Hillary at all.

First and foremost, Hillary Clinton is looking more an more like the beneficiary of republican division.  The challenge that exists between internal factions of the conservative movement will need a quick and definitive resolution.  Quick because 2014 and 2016 have already begun.  Definitive because the war will not end until someone defines the conservative agenda.  Ask Bill Clinton.  It is easy to declare the end of the era of big government, but impossible to agree on what should go away first.

As republicans try to recapture a national government equal to the beginning of the industrial revolution, the realist are hoping to do a little less killing abroad and reduce our deficit over the next several years by simply stopping the bleeding.  Meanwhile, Hillary will benefit from the "all president for all people" image that her husband Bill currently enjoys.  History informs us of both the left leaning failed proposals of the Clinton years and the actual center shifted legislation's like NAFTA that make conservatives love Bill as much as liberals do.

If we did not have enough intangible reason's for a president Hillary Clinton, here is one more to try on for size.  Sexism is harder to disguise than racism. If Hillary confronts the same unexplained obstructionism that Obama couldn't figure out, then the obstructionist' may no longer be able to hide behind a made up war against liberalism, fascism, communism and narcissism.

When bills that have the requisite number of votes are held up in congress in order to stonewall a man's legacy, then it might be time for a woman. Hillary can finish immigration for Obama like he did with healthcare for her.

Apparently the bad part is her husband.....the predator.
