"Trump in a Landslide..."

My recent road travels took me from Minnesoata to Illinois (and Indiana even),  travelling a long stretch through Wisconsin.


Everybody I talked to, and who spoke with others who travelled to Missouri hometowns and back, solidly supports Trump.


Workers, professionals, women, men, white, black, and Hispanic... I don't think the media or the money can overcome this common-sense support.

And that was before the camera caught her once again in one of her narrative lies, this time about her health.


Sorry ladies, even the prospect of electing the first woman to the Oval Office is not going to overcome the damage she has done to her brand, or to what remains of the Democratic party.


"Trump in a Landslide" as one man, who attended the School of Hard Knocks, predicts.  I just do not see how she can overcome her record in Libya, her reluctance to answer media questions succinctly and honestly, and her hawkish tendencies.


Trump won't defeat Hillary Clinton.
The truth is:  she defeated herself long ago, back when she was the gullible wife who would not listen to the women telling her her husband was up to no good; to the advisors who begged her to come clean on the disastrous effects of her policy positions; to the voters who urged her to put some daylight between herself and the Obama administration.


Can't; Won't, or Choose Not To...
In the end, Hillary Clinton has no one to blame for her defeat but herself.  The media has given her every advantage, but she just cannot deliver in the role.  That doesn't mean her career is over:  if there is still good left in her, she can follow Jimmy Carter's lead and create a better world out of politics than what she did while she had donors, and voters, to answer to-- not necessarily in that order.

ADDED:  The signs are there, for those who can still read:

Sales of Hillary Clinton’s New Book Off to a Slow Start
“Stronger Together,” Mrs. Clinton’s blueprint for where she wants to take the country, sold less than 3,000 copies in its first week — compared with 85,000 of her 2014 memoir.
Maybe, just maybe, nobody much wants to hop on board to where Mrs. Clinton will take the nation.  After 8 years of pretty talk, but disappointing results with young Democrats laying down in the streets, maybe we really will get the Change everyone understands this country needs...
