Hillary Clinton’s Happy Brew





So, Hillary Clinton. Skipping down the street. Sun is shining. A small and brightly colored bird is perching on her shoulder. Look — is that a rainbow?


Wow, what a good month she’s having. Certainly she’s due, by the sheer laws of probability. Nobody has as many bad months as Hillary Clinton. But this is really one heck of a run. Do you think there’s been an intervention? I just looked up a magic spell for “achieving a dream job” and it involves candles, cinnamon incense and bergamot oil. Just saying.

She had a great debate Tuesday night. Her main opponent, Bernie Sanders, said America was sick and tired of the damned email thing! This is actually classic Sanders, who combines persistent truth-telling with extreme crankiness. But convenient as all get-out for Clinton, who did an excellent job herself on most of the questions. In a perfect world she wouldn’t have said “I represented Wall Street,” but all in all, a home run.

DSB's Note- Some thirty six hours after the debate this dispassionate observer remains convinced that all our stellar candidates acquitted themselves with aplomb and struck a vivid contrast with their Republican opponents.

Stand straight, look up and not down, look forward and not back, and be proud you belong to the Democratic party, the greatest political party in the annals of history.
