Grasping at Straws

I think I can see a theme to the Democrats' emotional embrace of Hellery Clinton. All those seemingly bright people who really should know better are again being swayed by feelings ... not logic. Obummer was elected on feelings ... twice ... "Oh, wouldn't it be peachy if we had a 'clean, articulate black' (Biden's words) as president to prove that we are not racists and are sorry about that slavery thing." All these kumbaya voters cared not a wit about Obummer's shady past. He went to Harvard Law and briefly served in the Senate and that was enough for them. Forget that the important details of his past were under seal and ignore what damage he has since wrought on their country ... these same robots amazingly still give him a decent approval rating (unless the polls are biased, which is quite possible).

Hellery is playing off of this similar emotional appeal ... "Oh, wouldn't it be nice to have a woman in the White House to finally show that we are not a sexist country ... and we can make up for all the years when women did not have the vote." Such a mindless choice would bring at least another four years of self-serving governance in which the Clinton crime family would clearly cut deals, both domestic and abroad, that further diminished the United States' fortitude and rectitude. The mere thought of all the damage that she would likely cause gives me the shivers. Any country or miscreant offering material rewards to the Clinton Foundation would be given the keys to Fort Knox. She has no genuine patriotism or scruples  ... just imagine Obummer squared.

I guess the bottom line is this -- as things deteriorate in this country ... and most of us can sense it ... the solution that many Democrats seek is ... more of the same. I think that this is realistically called "grasping at straws." And, I will also confess, that voting for Trump unfortunately has a soupçon of "change at any cost" emotional rationale.
