Three thought experiments on a Saturday night.
Thought experiment I:
Hillary is elected in November ’16 & then proceeds, for months, to
make ludicrous, inflammatory, and plain-old guano-infused nonsensical comments online
and at public and private events. How
many Democrats within and outside of the Beltway would be saying it’s time to
give VP and harmonica-enthusiast Tim-Bo a shot at the Big Chair? I would wager far more Democrats than the number
of non-alternate reality feckless GOPers who can barely manage to give America’s
unhinged Chief Executive even a mild side-eye.
Thought experiment II:
If our country had a parliamentary form of government, would Trump have
made it this long? As weak as he really
is, I personally believe that Republican back-benchers would have ousted him a
couple of months ago, just like Thatcher was bounced by a Tory revolt in ’90.
Thought experiment III: A hurricane devastates Puerto Rico
and the U.S. Virgin Islands and ANY of the other 2016 presidential candidates,
Democratic or Republican, resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. How would they be faring in terms of relief
and recovery efforts for our fellow Americans: better or worse than the current
occupant of the Oval Office?
In solidarity.
