There are numerous rumors that the Clinton e-mail scandal is about to explode. Several sources are reporting that the guy who set up Hillary’s server is singing like a canary. We know he was given immunity and the FBI typically does that when it is after a really big fish. We are now at the point where top aides are going to be asked difficult questions, under oath, by FBI agents who know the correct answers. If they lie, under oath, they could easily end up doing serious time. If they don’t lie, then Hillary has a serious problem. Heck, even if they do lie, Hillary may still be in serious trouble. There are certain Clinton supporters willing to take one for the Gipper, but are they willing take one for a Gipper about to go down for the third and final time? John Kennedy once said that “victory has a 100 fathers but defeat is an orphan.” The minute it becomes obvious that Hillary is actually going down in flames the most dangerous place on earth will be between her and the nearest exit off the ship.
All the experts are predicting a general election between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. I suspect they are wrong with regard to both of them. We better hope they are wrong. If they are right, it will be the ultimate race to the bottom. Currently about 60% of people hate Hillary and 60% hate Trump. Each has support from about 30% of the people too stupid or too biased to recognize the obvious problems. That means the 40% of voters who still retain residual brain cells capable of rational thought will stay at home or drag themselves to the polls, fight the nausea long enough to pull the lever for the lessor of two evils and then throw up. Really smart people know this and they are desperately seeking Susan, or at least someone like Susan who has some kind of solution.
Republicans are in much better shape than Democrats because Donald Trump is not going to have enough delegates and Ted Cruz is a viable option. Kasich has zero chance and neither does the mythical Republican establishment unicorn superhero. Unless Cruz starts taking on water, he is odds on favorite to win the Republican nomination. He would trounce either Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders in a general election.
Wise Democrats should be approaching suicidal levels of despair. The only thing worse than Hillary Clinton winning the nomination would be Hillary not winning the nomination. Then the only option would be Bernie Sanders and even the inept RNC is going to have a serious problem losing to Bernie Sanders. Democrats are dreaming the impossible dream of Hillary winning the nomination, and then withdrawing to be replaced by someone better. The problem is that while Republican options are scare, there are no Democratic options at all. When people are talking seriously about Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren being the draft candidate it becomes increasingly difficult to suppress the giggle factor. Granted, they probably wouldn’t lose 48 states, like Bernie, but it would be extremely unlikely for either or them to win a general election. There is a reason Democrats have stuck with Hillary through thick and thin, there is no thin.
