The Gift of Clinton

[whell]

So, in this WaPo editorial, the author's point is that Hillary is so bad that she makes Trump look almost like a legit candidate?

She has claimed a political sour spot, in which her domestic policy positions are too far left to make her a unifying figure, but her sordid establishmentarianism still has left-wing voters pining for Bernie Sanders and considering Jill Stein. Her press-ducking, donor-massaging, risk-averse, joyless slog to November feels less like an old-fashioned front porch campaign than a campaign conducted from a corner mansion’s upstairs window, with the plebeians allowed to shout questions from the distant sidewalk and the candidate’s retainers ready to pull the sash at any time.

That this is the candidate who stands between Donald Trump and the presidency should be dispiriting to Democratic partisans, disquieting to the fiercest #NeverTrumpers on the right, and depressing to anyone who would prefer not to have to choose between a reckless demagogue and a scandal-ridden dynast.

But there are ways in which Clinton’s deeply unappealing candidacy might actually be a good thing for the republic.

This is too funny. The author is a poster child for "holding your nose in the voting booth".
