I imagine her to be a very bright woman without the courage of her convictions, because I dont know even know what they are She reminds me of Magic Johnsons talk show. Magic Johnson was a charming individual, but he wasnt a talk show host. If you watched his show, you could almost see Arsenios advice to him, in real-time rendering but it never seemed real or authentic. It seemed like she was wearing an outfit designed for someone else to be someone else.
Thats not say that shes not preferable to Donald Trump, because at this point, I would vote for Mr. T. over Donald Trump.
Mr. T......................... Pretty Said..........

You really need to step back ............ on your observations of reality
I could turn you on but your mind is not ready for it.
They don't pay you enough for your posts and your logical corruptions of reality.

Think of it this way, if healthcare, education, etc, worked and were affordable, how could they be crapified and their millions of high perceived value jobs turned into bargaining chips in the globalization game?
They couldn't be.
Also, they needed "crises". Healthcare crisis, education crisis, IT crisis.
Crisis = suspension of common sense.

(45,850 posts)Indeed, Jeb Bush, along his father and brother, have vowed not to back the presumptive Republican nominee, Donald Trump. Assuming no third party candidate emerges to soak up the fundraising dollars of former Bush backers, Clinton is positioning herself as the deserving recipient.
In doing so, her campaign is signaling to Republican donors that, as Ben White puts it, Hillary "represents your values better than Trump."
This is a striking admission one that comes in the midst of an ongoing contest with an opponent, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, who has questioned Clinton's commitment to progressive causes and has criticized her for caving under the temptations of corporate cash.
Rhetorically, Clinton has agreed with the notion that money is corrupting. So much so, in fact, that in 2008 she attacked then-Senator Obama for his reliance on money from employees of oil companies. But she has also argued, sometimes in the same breath, that she is above the laws of political gravity.

That effectuates a huge global redistribution of wealth upward and also some downward away from the privileged indigenous workers in the developed countries. Workers from poor countries like Africa and South Asia can travel to the developed countries and work for less. Which increases the total efficiency.
(Mad) Michael Moore believes that too.
