Wonder how tough Hillary Clinton would be as president? Let me tell you, she's tough -- brutal. After all, four dead men in Benghazi are simply collateral damage. People who were killed because foreign agents hacked her "personal" email server? Ehh. It was for the greater good; i.e., Hillary's lifelong quest for higher office.
There are, I'm sure, lots of reasons why everyday citizens are pissed off. The resentments and outrages have been discussed on websites and news channels ad nauseum. Nobody, though, has mentioned the mourning over our country's loss of honor. There was a time, I guess a long time ago, when politicians perhaps didn't feel shame, but they understood that we were ashamed of them when they screwed up and let us down. They at least pretended to be ashamed. No more.
The irony is, HRC was on the Watergate committee back in the seventies. You know, that evil Richard Nixon who sent guys off to break into the offices of the DNC. At least he didn't kill anyone. But as Republicans, we were ashamed; no matter that he was one of "our" guys. We didn't circle the wagons. We knew he was a bad actor and that it was time for him to go.
Now? Shoot, not only will we excuse her evil-doing, but we'll elect her! And pundits wonder where "all the cynicism" is coming from.
It's all a game and people are tired of the game.
But it won't matter. Because people are pissed off; thus they've settled on a hideous jokester like Donald Trump, because he'll save us for sure. Or almost worse, an oily used car salesman named Cruz -- and we'll lose the election to HRC for sure.
And we'll be stuck -- again.
And I'll be done.
I'm tired of thinking and talking about honor.
Nobody, it seems, is listening.
