COMMENT POSTED TO A COLUMN BY RUPERT CORNWELL IN THE
INDEPENDENT
"...but it all
depends on Bernie Sanders"
Well, if it does, she richly deserves to lose.
Her record against Bernie represents the most corrupt effort
in modern American primaries.
A million ballots destroyed in California. Hundreds of
thousands of likely Bernie supporters removed from the rolls and unable to vote
in New York. Voters in Arizona sent to the wrong place and no ballots at some
polls.
We now know from a huge Wiki-leaks release that the DNC,
under Deborah Wasserman Schultz, a friend and fanatic supporter as chairperson,
was plotting before the primaries began.
Many Bernie supporters were crushed by his turning around,
after all his legitimate criticisms, acting just like the usual hack
politician. He lost his shine completely. He sure lost it for me.
Anyway, the columnist much overrates the importance of the
support of former opponents in American politics.
Hillary is not only dirty (as in corrupt), she is a genuine
war-monger.
The trends in the polls - and trends are what is important -
could not be clearer. Trump is ascending, Hillary is descending.
