Thanks, Ralph 381
Okay. Trump is gone. The Deep State wins again. Hillary is the next President, which was obviously pre-ordained.
How much fun will she have? Not a lot.
The evidence for the lethality of Free Trade and Open Borders grows stronger. The professional classes who have been gaining up till now are starting to feel pain. Microsoft and Boeing are firing 10% of their workforce. China's popped bubble is popping every idiot who depended on China. The central banks have finally reached a saturation point. IPOs are losing their luster. Deep State is losing its younger and richer friends.
Sanders fans will not forgive Hillary, and Trump fans will not forgive anyone. Hillary is the perfect neocon, but most neocons are R-bots who can't see Hillary as an ally because she's wearing a D.
Putin has already halted two of the wars that Hillary started. He knows how to checkmate her, and he will continue.
Emerson as usual:
The farmer imagines power and place are fine things. But the President has paid dear for his White House. It has cost him all of his peace and the best of his manly attributes. To preserve for a short time so conspicuous an appearance before the world, he is content to eat dust before the real masters who stand erect behind his throne.
The bit about manly attributes applies especially to Hillary, who is the most manly president in several decades. But I doubt that the masters will be erect. Even Netanyahu has standards.
