How Hillary can save her reputation

Claim health problems, withdraw from the race, endorse Bernie while lauding single-payer healthcare, wage peace in supporting Obama's Iran deal, donate the money Wall Steet bought her with to charity, and live happily ever after as a kindly old grandmother.

and completely against her character.

Greed and power. If the top 10 richest people in the world were to donate everything to her she would demand the 11th do so as well.

Especially after the phone call she gets from Barack about those sanctions she called for.

from the danger that Clinton would be for 21st century diplomacy. She acts as if the 20th century has never ended: Third Way economics, TPP to double down on NAFTA, 90-ies militarism as the first and only action in foreign policy, fracking, coddling bankers...

The cry of the privileged. How arrogant to assume it is such, but they actually do think it is their turn. I think the voters may actually decide this one, unless, God forbid, there is another JFK. Praying for the candidates.

Good luck with that HRC, if she pulls it off, well I shudder to think about it.

He already supports single-payer
He supports Obama
He doesn't take Wall Street bribes

she will double down and triple down in the debate. She will angrily and defiantly thrust jab her extended right hand so many times that she will have symbolically thrust jabbed any chance she ever might have had at national, electoral success.

She has to expose the oligarchs. Every single one of them, and make sure that the income inequality is fixed.

Then she can get a sliver of respect from me. Just a sliver though.
