Remember, the Clintons have been the targets of a quarter-century-long campaign of Republican disinformation, propaganda, and lies, faithfully echoed by a media which has abandoned fact-checking for “he-said-she-said” under the guise of “objectivity.” The next time you find yourself thinking, “I don’t trust Hillary,” ask yourself, “Is my conclusion based on something she has done or on something Republicans have said?”
And remember, I don’t “like” Hillary and I certainly don’t want to have a beer with her–a Scotch maybe, not a beer. Furthermore, as my two or three regular readers know, I was not a fan of her tactics in the 2008 campaign for the nomination, but I think that, in her conduct since, she has redeemed herself. I find her competent, capable, trustworthy, and electable.
(I also like Bernie. I think he is competent, capable, trustworthy, and unelectable. An avowed socialist is not electable in this country, full stop, however benign his socialism may be.)
I like to vote in the real world. Electability matters.

Have I mentioned in these electrons the utter loathing I have for the disprespectful cutesy-poo pseudo-insider-esque expressions “SCOTUS” and “POTUS,” those vile affectations of lazy minds?

Mike Kelly considers Chris Christie’s State of the State quite revealing–not about New Jersey, but about Christie. A snippet:
Some people return, carrying old burdens and wounded memories. Others return to revel in some measure of glory.
Still others return with a re-invented narrative – a view of their past that is not even remotely grounded in reality and, of course, a view of their future that seems equally misguided.
This is Chris Christie.

Donald Trump is a pitchman, a Billy Mays in politics. Given a chance, he would try to sell a Popiel Pocket Fisherman to a fly caster.
