The Fix Is In, by Robert Gore

Her scandals, libidinous husband, vicious attacks on his female victims, political ineptitude, lack of substantive accomplishment, Benghazi and Libya, emails and all the rest are now...irrelevant. Relevant: her strong ties to Wall Street and most importantly, that she’s never met a US foreign intervention she didn’t like (as a senator she voted for the Iraq invasion). She’s John McCain in drag. Being a supporter of intervention naturally entails support of big defense and intelligence budgets, continuing expansion of the national security state, and continuing erosion of what remains of individual liberty. She ticks all the right boxes for the Republican establishment, and now they’re in her corner.

This is an excerpt. For the full article, please click the link above.

    Mamaemma - often I find myself not commenting because you've said it before I have even had the chance to think it :)

    Perfect.

    I predicted the same of Obama, but it didn't happen.

    I guess these days all you have to do is pick another Quayle as your VP, and you become immortal.

    from all of my reading of Ayn Rand's writing I believe we have been on the slide for some number of years now and I do not see how we can stop it until of course we hit rock bottom and that is probably closer than we know.

    They want to see the first female president. I get that, I support the concept, but this is the wrong one.

    I kind of think she is, I don't buy the whole 'banged my head' thing when she was supposed to testify to Congress and was supposedly to damaged to leave the house for 4 months. I think she may have had a meltdown.

    You are making a strong assumption that the Democrats will win...

    Quite frankly, given the majorities in both houses of Congress, and the absolute vile revulsion of the tax increases under Obama (and how the IRS has implemented those ordered-increases), I just don't see it likely we'll have another liberal president. If you look at history, we dust them off every few years, and the youngsters think they have discovered some new-fangled thing called 'progressivism'. Then they see what that means, they get jobs, they pay taxes, and they are poorer than they were as starving college students.

    The economy, 8 years on, hasn't recovered... home values for the most part are still pre-recession, incomes have been absolutely stagnant and 'real income' after the levels of inflation have been really zero or less than zero growth. Every other recession, we cut taxes, and we came out of it stronger than we were before a year or two later. This one, we "increased" taxes, we massively increased spending, and the only jobs are govie tit-suckling jobs while implementing ruinous levels of regulation on private enterprise and took what was basically the first step to nationalizing 15% of the economy (healthcare).

    If Obama hadn't tweaked the energy policy to level out gas prices, and it was sitting at the $5.00 a gallon that Moniz was creaming his jeans with excitement over, we wouldn't even be pondering the possibility of a Hillary win. The reality is, the Republicans are pretty fired up to win and are already heavily-organized. Bernie (a socialist/communist) is making a heavy dent in Hillary and probably has the money to fight it out with her for a long/protracted battle.

    The nominee if current trends continue will probably be Dr. Carson... and his ethics/integrity/faith are unquestionable compared to Hillary's history of bimbo eruptions, suspicious deaths and suicides in the Clinton circles, the "machine" aspect of the Clinton family, the pants suits, the terrible record as Secretary of State, and I'm absolutely sure the reason for the private email was to coordinate donors to the Clinton Global Initiative that were suspiciously tied to favors/agreements/trips as Secretary of State.

    If he is accurate and I believe that we do have a corrupt political system and she wins then we will have gone from the frying pan (with 0) into the fire.
    It is amazing to me that all of these people who have prospered even if via payoffs that they still want to destroy the country.

    excellent summation of the current situation...republicans & democrats are opposite sides of the same counterfeit political coin which we are forced to swallow...only remaining question is how much time we have before we slide into the totalitarian democracy..tyranny of the majority...

    "Do you think she is ill?" There are rumors that she is. Even if she died, her stupid followers would vote for her anyway....hoping in a resurrection.

    Of course the fix is in. That's been a given for years. Clinton doesn't think that she needs an election...just a coronation. And I'll say it again, there is the ruling elite and the rest of us. The elite determines the candidates.

    Being mentally ill should make her a shoo-in.
    Look at what we have now who was voted into the Oval Office twice.

    No, I think it is very likely based upon her past actions that her actions as president will be those of a dictator and that a coup will be the result. Is she ill? Based on her actions, she is mentally ill.

    The Fix is In. That describes in total my attitude toward the coming "election". I have thought for a long time that the powers that be want Hillary. OMG, I can't stand that woman!

    If elected, Hillary will follow in the footsteps of JFK in one way. She will not survive to run for re-election. Therefore, VP may be a very important position in this case.

    Hello straightlinelogic,
    'Today’s Journal headline, especially its placement on the front page, serves as announcement that if renegade Republicans go off the reservation and select apostate Trump, the establishment will line up for reliable interventionist Hillary Clinton.'
    Depressing... Sounds like pure cronyism at work. Absolutely without principles or scruples.

    There have been MSM reports the last few days that the GOP establishment is set to attack Trump because of the threat to their orthodoxy. The problem is not Trump, per se, it is any threat to their perceived power.

    One of the greatest threats to this nation is the entitlement mentality, regardless of status or party affiliation, from pauper to potentate. .

    Regards,
    O.A.

    Who are the establishment people masterminding this? Do you think they have informal meetings:
    "How about you have Fox... no, actually why don't you ask the editor at WSJ to write a headline telegraphing where this populist shit leads."
    "Yes. I'm on the board of your company. I want to see it win. But I can't go asking him to publish propaganda to prop up your aerospace and construction businesses."
    "No, of course not. I'm just saying factual reporting on how Hilary isn't affected by populism in the Democratic party. People can read between the line as to what that means for Republican populism. Either way, all of us here agree our products keep the world safe, and that's priceless. We must not loose control of the narrative."
