When this campaign began, we knew that the character of both candidates — writ large — would shape the outcome. The two most disliked and distrusted major-party nominees in modern times, Clinton and Trump failed to improve their own standing, and now are limited to trying to make each other more toxic and less acceptable.
The barrage represents selective outrage on an industrial scale, and is conveniently timed. Coming simultaneously with the WikiLeaks release of Clinton-camp e-mails and continuing disclosures about the flawed FBI investigation of her private server, many voters know far more about the allegations against Trump than about the latest proof of Clinton’s deceptions, not to mention her aides’ attacks on Christians, Latinos and Bernie Sanders.
Barack Obama’s regime is crash-landing, making it imperative that the next president be ready on Day One. Staggering challenges and crises await the winner, so let’s choose wisely, and for the right reasons.The collapse of ObamaCare, the erosion of middle-class incomes and the outbreak of murder, arson and looting in major cities, the metastasizing of Islamic terrorism, Iran’s expanding aggressions and a growing confrontation with Russia. Then there’s the Supreme Court. Need I bring up more? You get the picture, it is sad, but we have nothing else at this time. And the more the left pushes, the more the right prospures in this cycle. What do you think?
