From the THE CONTRARIAN BLOG
"IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO SPEAK, BUT TO SPEAK TRUE." SHAKESPEARE
Excerpted from the blog post:
An old colleague and I were having breakfast this morning when he looked up at the news (I cant remember which network
MSNBC, I think) and noticed a split screen of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. He lamented long about how terrible both candidates are in this election and I guess we just have to choose the lesser of the two evils or, as he put it,
put on a blindfold and just pick. It doesnt really make any difference.
And thats when I went off.
I am really sick and tired of people saying both candidates are equally horrible choices, how much America thoroughly hates both of them to the core, that theres not a single positive trait in either one of them and wow, if only we had voted for that guy behind the deli counter or the neighbors cat, America would be WAY better off.
Fuck you. Fuck the deli guy and fuck your neighbors cat.
There are only 2 candidates who stand any mathematical chance of prevailing in this years election and one of them is, in fact, eminently qualified to become the 45th President of the United States, perhaps more so than any of the other 44 previous office holders. She (thats right
SHE) has been dedicated to public service in one capacity or another since 1971. Her accomplishments are tremendous. To name a few (edited from the list once provided by Daily Kos for space):
First ever student commencement speaker at Wellesley College.
Distinguished graduate of Yale Law School.
Editorial board of the Yale Review of Law and Social Action.
Co-founded Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families.
Former civil litigation attorney.
Staff attorney for Childrens Defense Fund.
Faculty member in the School of Law at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville.

I can tell you we were amazed that Nixon was elected twice, then buffoon Reagan twice, then Bush 1 and 2 (twice).
But drumph is beyond belief. By a factor of millions.
He is so dangerous. I would say clinically insane. And they probably think they can control him. A huge risk. They want the House and SCOTUS of course.
HRC is so much the winner its not arguable.
