Which explains her OIF enthusiasm.

Thing is - she's almost heartless. (Giving her grandma points.)

"Coattails" is an expression used in Politics to describe the ability of a candidate to sweep other candidates into office along with her. The image is one of people holding onto the coattails of the candidate and following them into office.

People have been saying this ever since Trump began his campaign and there hasn't been the slightest indication so far that this will happen. The Dorian Gray image has already worked on the people it'll work on and already failed to work on most of the rest of us.

The choice between Trump and Bloomberg is almost as stark as the choice between Trump and Clinton.

She's owned by the MIC among others.

They make trillions off of these wars.

So what's a $100 million in campaign donations to them?

A small investment that returns many thousands to one.

The picture is working in the Republican primaries and barring a Python twist will continue to work. The actual election is another story altogether. If Trump doesn't have something more than his celebrity business persona he's dead meat. I think he may just, which could end up being a real life scary/alive/amusing kind of adventure for this pension slave. Thing is, he can't hide that he's a sleaze ball. Another thing is that lots of folks are into sleaze. Not very presidential though.

Mencken would have it otherwise.
