Hillary Clinton made history by becoming the first woman presidential candidate, beating poor old Bernie Sanders by a healthy margin. The remaining question is what will Bernie do now? He could let his frustration turn into bitterness and try to destroy the process at the convention, but he doesn't have the clout to get the changes he really wants... to swing the process in his favor. His best bet is to figure out how to get the majority of his supporters to get out and vote for Hillary, because the primary voter turnout this year was lower than 2008. My primary argument against Bernie is that he has spent all of those years in the Senate and accomplished very little beyond rhetoric. He was chairman of the Veteran's Affairs committee and didn't do anything to improve their situations until public embarrassment forced the committee into simulated action, leaving the problems at the VA hospitals the same, if not worse...
For Hillary, she needs to keep on giving well thought out speeches like the last two, and to avoid doing something stupid that the right wing crazies can go nuts over. They already have tried at least nine times with Benghazi investigations, and the current committee is waiting until after the conventions to publish their report or at least try to stir up some dust. The email server scandal is much ado over nothing, but her adversaries will try to get her indicted over it before the general election.
The other big question is who will she pick to be her running mate? The Washington Post has collected 27 potential candidates, ranging from Joe Biden to Elizabeth Warren. Personally, I'd like to see either Al Franken or John Hickenlooper, the governor of Colorado, to be the next elevated. The creepy nominee would be her husband, Bill Clinton, though he would do an excellent job. But I'll bet she makes him ambassador to the United Nations instead...
The funny part about the Republican primaries was watching who was still on the ballot against Donald Trump, either John Kasich or Ted Cruz. Though Donald was running virtually unopposed, I kept waiting to see if he was going to lose the vote in the last nine primary states, even better if it was to some write-in vote, like Donald Duck... Donald's job, which he will ignore, is to keep a lower profile until the convention, and learn how to retract a statement with an apology instead of doubling down and making things worse. He is driving the Republican establishment nuts, and it is entertaining watching how each strategy they come up with to harm Donald, just bounce back at them. The smarter strategy is what the Democrats are doing now, showing how the Emperor has no clothes, or billions of dollars, or donated to charities like veteran's groups, unless he is publically embarrassed to do so. The ticket for the season will be the Republican convention, to further watch the Grand Old Party implode.
Who will Donald Trump pick as his running mate? Oh, the list of former adversaries who will lick his boots is a long one, with the most colorful choice would be Sarah Palin again. What a fucking train-wreck that would be... But he will probably reward the smarmy Jeff Sessions for all of the behind the scenes hard work he has done. The creepy choice is his own daughter, Ivanka Trump, who is a botox queen and probably still registered as a Democrat. He really needs someone who will run the day to day affairs, while he concentrates on the big, blustery speeches he likes so much, a presidency honed by reality television...
So, there we have it. Hillary and Bill Clinton, running against Donald and Ivanka Trump, showing just how nepotistic politics has become!!!
