If Donald Trump didn’t get up each morning on a mission to self-destruct by delivering idiotic and unnecessary insults, Hillary Clinton would be in full self-destruct mode. I sometimes think if we could just send Trump on an extended vacation for about six months, with no access to the internet, he could actually win this thing. I remain convinced that Donald Trump is one of the very few people in this country capable of losing this election to Hillary Clinton.
The following interview of Hillary by Brett Baer should be a fatal blow to her campaign:
Her defense is that she did not remember signing the NDA. In reality, that also doesn’t matter. The Secretary of State is one of a handful of people in the United States Government who are authorized to designate information as classified. This reminds me of the rather famous incident involving Braxton Bragg. He was both Company Commander and Quartermaster. As Company Commander he requested supplies. As Quartermaster, he denied the request. As Company Commander, he resubmitted the request with additional information. As Quartermaster, he again denied the request. Then, as Company Commander he appealed the quartermaster’s decision to the post Commander. The response, according to the memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant was:
“My God, Mr. Bragg, you have quarreled with every officer in the army, and now you are quarreling with yourself!”
In addition to being quarrelsome, this was also incredibly stupid.
Yesterday, while basking in the afterglow of becoming the first female to be nominated to become President, Hillary said the most influential person in her life was her mother. This, of course, would be the same mother who named Hillary after Edmund Hillary because of his heroic achievement in climbing Mt Everest. Hillary’s mother must have had remarkable foresight, since Edmund Hillary didn’t actually climb Mt. Everest until Hillary was six years old. After reading this interview, I am convinced that the actual person who had the most influence in developing Hillary Clinton’s leadership style was Braxton Bragg.
If I were in charge of Donald Trump’s campaign I would just run the same ad, over and over again. It would be a picture of Hillary Clinton with the slogan: “I’m With Stupid.”
