It is absolutely hilarious, albeit in a sad, hopeless way, that Liberals have found their own deeply inane equivalent to the Right’s obsession with Hillary’s emails. It’s called Hillary’s speeches. Seeing a woman who has the power to make money is as intolerable for them as it is for their opponents to see a woman who wields political power.
Of course, if our public space were not overrun with tantrumy children, we’d all be thanking our lucky stars that we have a candidate who has an in with Wall Street. Wall Street is one of the country’s greatest assets and, like all assets, it’s paid for dearly. An intelligent, mature thing to do would be calmly and shrewdly to negotiate lowering this cost. A dumb approach that has already failed pathetically would be to shriek like an unhinged rabbit that greed is bad. When the shriekers are faced with the need to contemplate a successful woman, the burden becomes too heavy and they get completely deranged.
The rest of us is now doomed to witness an electoral campaign conducted by the perennially aggrieved and confused to the tune of “Emails! Speeches! Emails! Speeches!” while the Republican nominees heave a sigh of relief.

Thought I saw that Hillary promised to ask Sanders to be vice if she is elected?

She said that if she’s elected she will talk to him. She didn’t say what she’d talk about. 🙂 In the meanwhile, Bernie was shaking his head “No!” during the question. There is no reason for him to want this job.

I think that the risk, that the next US president will have the name Trump, is greater than most people think – and when people makes prognoses, they are heavily biased by their own wishes and fears, and those of the people close to them. An and of course, by idealism.
But the wisest way in politics is to see who will have a good chance to be elected – and then chose the least bad, the lesser of two evils…
Of course, Trump is much the same type of man as Putin – they will understand each other – but the problem is, that Putin is twice as smart. And ten times as dangerous.
My personal belief is, that the implanting of the mole Snowden at the CIA and NSA is his work and is a masterpiece of espionage. And the after-play is smart, too, fooling most of the people.

That statement relies on the idea you can have a compromise with Wall Street where you can get an equal deal if not the better of the deal, and an “in” with Wall Street isn’t the same as “beholden to Wall Street.”Mitt Romney had an “in” with Wall Street and he lost. 🙂 I do think the speech kerfuffle is 90% that women are held to higher standards than men.

Oh yes, this is exactly the formula I think is behind it. 90% sexism and 10% infantilism. Leaving, of course, no space for a reasonable, adult approach.

Of course, sexism and infantilism have the same root.
