Given the Worldwide disgust for
Donald Trump, it can surely be envisaged that the USA would have a tough time
maintaining its position as the most sought after country in the world. His dire
lack of understanding of foreign affairs and foul mouthing is the main cause of
this disgust; which unfortunately is not limited only to the people at the helm
of affairs; but also common people at large. His demeanor, his abrasive
communication style, his hairdo, even his shady business practices are all under
the minute scrutiny of these people. Those in his camp; trying their best to get
him elected; would sure have to cut a sorry figure; should he be elected; though
he has but a fairly remote possibility, for it would be a travesty. Justice Ruth
Ginsberg’s recent remarks are just a tip of the iceberg. Another impending
factor is his selection of VP. Should he pick someone like Newt Gingrich; who is
known for his intransigence and confrontational politics, would be like
committing suicide. Even the selection of Chris Christy would not sit very well.
He sure would need someone with a softer image, astute, intelligent and well
trained in international affairs personality; to brighten his chances, if at
all, at the home front and internationally.
Hillary, though hugely favored by the establishment, Wall Street, and
Corporate-America, also has some challenges but of different nature. She is
blessed in the sense that, numerous forces are working to keep her troubles
smothered. She however, most probably, would not be able to extend Democratic
rule for 16 years. Despite excessive compromises, she might not be able to
fulfill most of her campaign promises. She would be truncated to like a lame
duck president, even in her first term. That would be regardless of the fact
that; some republicans clandestinely wanted her to become the next president,
for they do not want to endorse and work with Donald Trump at any cost. That,
however, would not mean that she would be given a free hand. E-mail issue will
keep her dodged. Although she is a shrewd politician, would not be able to gain
the unwavering support of many even in her own party. She would not only abandon
the “custodian of Obama legacy/agenda” position but may also work with
republican to undo some of its components. Clintons sure would become richer
whereas, Chelsea and her hubby, most likely, would land highly coveted
positions. Chelsea may even dash into the politics. Obama’s nominated Supreme
Court judge, most likely, would not be confirmed.
Bernie Saunders today on the 12th of July 2016 endorsed Hillary Clinton, which
will send a wave of disappointment and disgust in his supporters, for Hillary
was never their choice. Young voters, most likely, would stay away from the
elections altogether, which may favor Trump. Hillary will keep nodding her head
to Bernie’s speech as many times as she has to, once elected, it will be a
different ball game. Bernie has proved to be the worst hope dasher in the recent
electoral history of the USA. His strategic blunder, most likely, was playing a
nice guy to Madam Secretary!
President Obama has severely compromised the dignity of the office of the
President by supporting Hillary Clinton. Her bungling of Bin-Ghazi situation,
being swept under the carpet, is the blatant example of rich protecting rich.
Have the whole world not been accusing the corrupt politicians of the third
world for the same thing until yesterday? President should have stayed above the
fray. He stooped down grotesquely from his mantle. He simply borrowed a page
from the manual of dirty politics of the third world. Does this not tell us
where we are heading as a Nation? Wake up fellows! Immigration, refugee issue,
Islamophobia all are but petty issues, which are sucking up all our energies and
distracting from the “REAL” issue. Oligarchy of tax-forgiven 1 % and their
trillions stashed in off-shore banking units is the real issue. This money can
pay our National debt many times over. We do not have to work at minimum wage
and three jobs to make ends meet. America can easily afford free healthcare and
free education; there will be no danger of social security going bankrupt,
veterans going homeless. These corrupt self-serving politicians would not do it,
for they can’t afford to annoy their masters.
