I Wrote This Exactly Two Years Ago....Read What I Say About Trump and Hillary in August 2015

It was called: "July 2015 Election Review: One High-Speed Train Wreck...Another in Slow Motion?" Trump was the brand new high-speed train wreck, obliterating convention...Hillary was the one in slow motion, way ahead and getting more dents everyday, her own worst enemy. The whole first section is wild to read two years later:

"Trump could dominate events for months, particularly if he scores well at the August 6 debates, an event tailor-made for his sound-bite skill set. With no voting whatsoever until February, and Trump’s own billions in the mix (he’s the only candidate that needs no Adelson-esque billionaire to carry him through), he is built to last."

"While all this is going on, another race is underway, that is, Hillary Clinton against herself. The Hillary Clinton who by any standard is an exceptional candidate is running against her own propensity for secrecy and obfuscation, a working press starved for stories on the Democratic side, and an array of GOP billionaires obsessed with bringing her down. Every month brings another revelation in the email story. Hillary can probably survive what has been revealed thus far, but are there still others out there that could add up to the proverbial thousand cuts?"
