I read powerlineblog.com’s Scott Johnson, and the other powerline folks (John Hinderaker, Paul Mirengoff, Steven Hayward) just about every day.
This morning’s angry, but mostly very well put together summation of what the New York Primary results mean that cause me to do so.
You can read it all by clicking here….but let me show you my favorite parts:
After Donald Trump’s and Hillary Clinton’s victories in their respective party primaries last night, they appear the likely nominees of their parties. Clinton certainly is, Trump uncertainly. It’s not exactly an inspiring prospect.
The Clintons will never go away. With their gargantuan corruption, habitual lying, and leftist proclivities, they mark their territory with an indelible stain. While Bill Clinton entered the White House a lowlife rogue, Hillary will enter as Nurse Ratched. Krupskaya, American style.
…Trump is an embarrassment to the issues he purports to advance. He subtracts from the sum total of human knowledge. He is not a conservative. He is a devout vulgarian. To the extent it can be measured by polls, his negative image exceeds the wildly high negative image achieved by Hillary Clinton.
Trump may get to the White House, but only as a guest of the Clintons, his old friends.
If Mr. Johnson seems about as enthusiastic over the prospect of a Clinton-Trump race as he probably is about periodontic surgery…..he’s in the same situation I am. Maybe you too.
My only carp is with his comparison of Hillary Clinton to Krupskaya – actually, Nadezhda Krupskaya, wife of Lenin.
The parallels are there: she was the wife of a head of state and very interested in education. But Krupskaya was a take-no-prisoners doctrinare marxist. Hillary Clinton is a which-way-is-the-wind-blowing left wing relativist.
Neither is very good, but Hillary is the better of the two.
