The Breakfast Scramble: Eric is right. There is a lot about which to talk.
His girl Friday. A shout out to Kellyanne Conway. The Little Donny of the primaries was a wild hip shooter. His campaign was in disarray. He never even got on the ballot in Oregon. Somebody corralled Little Donny and I have to assume it was Conway.
In the closing months of the campaign, Little Donny had message to stuck to it. In contrast Mrs. Clinton resorted to rerunning the Daisy Ad from the Lyndon Johnson campaign. The only message Mrs. Clinton had was how evil Trump was. It did not work.
Conway will be needed in the Trump administration. As for me, I suggest chief of staff. Keep Little Donny focused.
Phone and Pen Department or doors go both way. The same procedure used to create something can be used to abolish it. For example, Obamacare passed with fifty-one votes in the Senate. The republican will have fifty-one votes, plus the House and the presidency. The globull warming agreement that Dim Won, Barrack Obama, signed, but never submit to the Senate for ratification, can be unsigned. The executive orders mandating open sex restrooms and legally depriving male college students of any due process right can be revoked.
Clinton Inc, will all the foreign government who paid millions to the Clinton Foundation in return for future political favors, now get a refund? Will Wall Street get a refund for all those gross speaking fees paid to the Clinton’s for a private preview of the policies also be refunded. Don’t bet on it.
You break it, you own it, from Jim Newell, Slate [1]:
The party establishment made a grievous mistake rallying around Hillary Clinton. It wasn’t just a lack of recent political seasoning. She was a bad candidate, with no message beyond heckling the opposite sideline. She was a total misfit for both the politics of 2016 and the energy of the Democratic Party as currently constituted. She could not escape her baggage, and she must own that failure herself.
Theoretically smart people in the Democratic Party should have known that. And yet they worked giddily to clear the field for her. Every power-hungry young Democrat fresh out of law school, every rising lawmaker, every old friend of the Clintons wanted a piece of the action. This was their ride up the power chain. The whole edifice was hollow, built atop the same unearned sense of inevitability that surrounded Clinton in 2008, and it collapsed, just as it collapsed in 2008, only a little later in the calendar
The Clinton’s bought it, they broke it, they own it. Are the ‘rats down to Little Andy, Andrew Coumo, governor New York, as their future?
Listen to Chuckles scream, Dirty Harry Reid, Senate Minority Leader, dreaming a ‘rat controlled Senate promised to modify the filibuster rule to allow would be President Clinton’s Supreme Court nominees to get unconfirmed with fifty-one votes. I, for one, hope current, and incoming, Senate Majority Leader Mitchell O’Connell, take Dirty Harry up on his offer. Listen to Senator Schumer scream.
