The Whip Hand

Hillary Clinton clearly has the whip hand when it comes to the Democrat Party ... witness how fuzzy and feckless is the scheduling of the Democrat presidential debates ... see: Democrat Debate Schedule. It doesn't take too many smarts to realize that this "speculative" debate schedule ... with just about everything marked "TBD" ("to be determined" for those of you in Rio Linda) ... is indicative of a great deal of control being exerted by Hillary's mob enforcers.

Why is this you ask? Clearly Hillary Clinton has a great many questions she doesn't want asked by the moderators of such debates ... or her opponents like Bernie Sanders, Martin O'Malley or Jim Webb. The uncertainty surrounding the dates, places and formats of these supposed six Democrat debates ... this late in the game, leads me to suspect that even these nebulous parameters are subject to change at the whim of Hillary.

And given that her news and polls keep getting worse ... and assuming that Veep Joe Biden enters the race in September ... I will not be surprised to see further deterioration of this debate scheduling... under the snapping cat-o-nine-tails of Cruella Clinton.

Beefcake

Martin O'Malley

I'm not sure that Howard Taft could get elected president these days ... as he wouldn't look too ripped in a Speedo. The sign of the times seems to be inanity and beefcake ... Vladamir Putin riding bareback bare chested  ... and now Democrat candidate, Martin O'Malley, is taking every opportunity to show his pecs to potential young lady voters (and maybe others?)

In this era when millennials can't answer simple political questions like who won the Civil War, savvy pols have dumbed down their campaigns to kindergarten levels ... learning from the likes of Kim Kardashian, Lady Gaga and Barack Obama. I can easily project that, in a few more years, Spiderman might indeed achieve high elected office.
