they see as corrupted by big money, aren't about to be blackmailed by the Big Money. How convenient for Clinton to have a Trump as a bludgeon.

They built a monster from parts of racists, homophobes, sexists, evangelicals, KKK, etc. to use as their henchmen. The monster has turned on them.

But I believe that the Ruling Class is taking advantage of the situation, maybe even stoking the fire, so to speak, to be able to bludgeon the left into supporting their candidate Clinton.

Remember the fable about the scorpion traveling across the water on the back of the friendly predator it stings in the end?

This kind of gotcha corruption only gets the okay of the INSANE.

Sanely yours,
