2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumGlad to see Hillary come out with two guns blazing against trump, she still makes me nervous
I have no doubt Hillary can take on trumpy and bury him. She gutted him today and it was a thing of beauty. Not to take anything away from her, but he makes it easy really. And I'm not sure why his republican competitors folded so easily.
There is simply no measure, no area, no metric in which trumpy surpasses Hillary. I'm not even considering policy positions, because trumpy's are ethereal and shift with every question. His are a house of cards. Not an elaborate impressively built house of cards, but the kind a novice eight year old takes pride in. Three or four levels and ever so fragile.
Hillary laid it bare well today. But, and there is a but, I am still nervous about her as the nominee. I accept that she has won the primary. I disagree with her on several issues but always have with whomever the nominee is. And Hillary would be a fine president. She's smart and adept and driven. I agree with her more than I disagree and far more than I agree with whatever trumpy's positions are. But I am nervous and anxious. I simply can't take her word that she isn't at serious risk of being so dogged by scandal that she loses the GE.
I'm not sure that all of her staff will come out on the other side of the FBI investigation unscathed. I don't expect Hillary to be charged, but am less sure about her staffers and really have no way of knowing for anyone.
Hillary can and will win unless she has already sealed her and the democratic party's and the country's fate. I sincerely hope that she hasn't.
