LIVE RADIO NOW: Is Hillary Clinton The President We Need At This Time?

This week’s show

Is Hillary Clinton The President We Need At This Time?

Most pundits have been talking up Hillary Clinton as the inevitable Democratic nominee. If the conventional wisdom is true that GOP policy is anathema to America’s new demographics, which is equivalent to saying she would be the next president.

Rand Paul has been smearing Hillary Clinton by bringing up her husband’s Monica Lewinsky scandal. This is really a sideshow without legs. What if however there is information out there that allows Hillary Clinton to be viewed in the same light as any Republican running? If that is done, then the race is really wide open.

It is my contention that that is easier done than not. Moreover I think bringing up the Monica Lewinsky scandal is a ruse. There is much more, once coronated as the Democratic candidate, that will likely hobble her

Give me a call. Let’s talk.

Monica is the very least of Hillary's worries. Maybe Paul is giving her cover or something strange. Look at that shiney thing way back There! Look!

but, then again, we will never be given the choice to vote for the president we need. We are given the choice of two people who have been thoroughly vetted by Wall Street.

who the president is as long as we continue having a dysfunctional Congress. It could be Hillary, or it could be Bernie Sanders. Either way, there would be only so much they could do before the Republicans (and sometimes the Blue Dog Dems, too) block them.

At least no one who is electable, at this time. I believe absolute catastrophe must befall us before we are willing to elect that person.

If we had an Elizabeth Warren or a Bernie Sanders (we won't), the gerrymandered Congress, with more Republicans than the people of our country want representing them, would put up a phalanx of obstruction just like they are doing with the "Kenyan soshalist."

Hillary would be more adept at working with them, but would probably do so to an extent that we would consider bending over backwards to a bunch or right-wing ideologues and the money masters propping them up.

We'll just have to make the best of it, and consider the Supreme Court as our consolation prize, since a Republican president is NOT an option until the balance is back at 6-3 in our favor, and with younger progressive judges.

Other than that, it's like the ending line of The Seven Samurai: "We lose again. We always lose."
