But it does make for interesting conversation. It's pretty much close enough to call it now. Trump vs. Clinton. One is a professional lying politician. The other aspires to be a professional lying politician.
It always astounds me when people make the argument that, for arguably the most important job in the western world, it should in any way be preferable to select the person least qualified to actually do the job. In Trump you have a reactionary blowhard who couldn't even let a middle-school level joke about his penis size slip by without defending his alleged manhood...on television, during a job interview for fucking president.
Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton has been a direct target and punching bag of neoconservative political machine for literally three decades, and not only has walked away smiling, there's barely a scratch on her. This is the cumulative effort of literally hundreds and thousands of man-hours spent on trying to find SOME dirt on her, ANY dirt on her, and the deployment of every form of propaganda known to man in order to drag her name down. Movies, books, entire decades full of reactionary talk radio and tv. And the end result? Not a goddamn thing. This tough old broad takes on everything from congressional hearings to conservative hatemongers to vicious rumors about hers and her husband's relative sex lives, and doesn't even blink.
Donald Trump? He couldn't even stand up to Megyn Kelley, AND SHE'S ON HIS TEAM.
When I vote for the toughest job on the planet, I want the toughest man on the planet to do it. And in this case, it's a woman.
Thank god I am oblivious to the opinions of others while caught in the blinding splendor of my own cleverness.
