Hillary Clinton is currently getting more press coverage than all of the Democratic candidates combined.

Also, her name is being tossed into the mix in the fake polls. One recent poll said that Biden can beat Trump by 12%, then the next day another poll said Hillary's as popular as Biden. The takeaway arithmetic on that is that Clinton can beat Trump by 12%.

It looks as if Clinton will be the Democrats' stealth candidate.

They're not about to put up a two-time loser. Impossible.

To jump in here, I'm amazed that Warren has basically sabotaged her own campaign with her health care spending fantasy -- even sympathetic sources know her numbers don't add up. All she had to do was say she reconsidered on practical grounds, and come out in favor of a public option. She'd be criticized for backtracking, but the whole issue would have gone away before most people even noticed.

Because of that, I still think the race is open for a surprise, although I don't think it will be Clinton, as much as she's dying to get in. No way Biden makes it, he's going to flame out in Iowa or before. He's always one sentence away from a malfunction that he can't come back from.

Both Warren and Sanders could make their single-payer programs more feasible by sticking more closely to the European models. The two candidates' plans are quite a lot more generous than those offered across the pond. This is according to the Washington Post this morning.

Not to be ignored are the 370,000 people employed by the private health insurance industry, who would be out of work under Medicare for All. So I agree that a public option is the only realistic, incremental step toward better access to healthcare.

Biden is the Democratic frontrunner. Here he is in 2017, saying, “I got a lot of — I got hairy legs that turn blonde in the sun. And the kids used to come up and reach in the pool and rub my leg down so it was straight and then watch the hair come back up again. They'd look at them. So I learned about roaches. I learned about kids jumping on my lap. And I love kids jumping on my lap."

He is such a freak.

And Deval Patrick has entered the presidential race. He's already cancelled one event because only two people were waiting in the crowd:

Deval Patrick is one of Obama's bi-guys, from back in the day when Obama was known as "Bathhouse Barry."

And Michael Bloomberg is now in the race. He wants to tax the poor to keep them from spending money foolishly:

Nobody is showing up at Joe Biden's rallies. 98 at the last one. The campaign money he gets is corporate money. He's from Delaware, the center of America's usurious credit card industry, and they're pumping lots of cash into his coffers, but still, he draws double digits at his rallies.

And now he can see that he's striding toward a big pile of caca with this impeachment business. If the trial goes to a senate full of pissed off Republicans, then the Biden boys could be #1 and #2 on the list of people called as witnesses. And they would be under oath. Joe Biden would perjure himself within his first hour of testimony, and he knows it. The other day he said he wouldn't testify because it's all just partisan BS. I expect that somebody pointed out how he would HAVE to comply with a subpoena, so now he's doing some monumental quibbling. It is truly wonderful to watch.

Here's a short video of Biden being heckled in San Antonio a couple of weeks ago. I think 80 people showed up for that rally.

Oh what good fortune we have, to be living in the run-up to the 2020 election. Trump is beset on all sides by those who would bring him down, but he towers above the fray.

And meanwhile...

The Democrats.

Where to begin?

Elizabeth Warren has dissolved in her own vinegar. And she went out in such beautiful irony. One of the leaders of the environmentalist cult, she was caught disembarking from a private jet. So funny:

Elizabeth Warren Hides Behind Staffer After Stepping Off Private Jet
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIrMujacP70

And Joe Biden. What can you say?

Joe Biden calls student a 'lying dog-faced pony soldier' at rally
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwVrg6UtxXQ

He's out of the race after fourth and fifth place showings, so no wonder he's calling people names. He probably won't face justice for his shameless raping of Ukraine, either. Pursuing that matter would lead to his family's involvement with the ChiComs, and nobody in the Washington establishment (Democrat OR Republican) wants that closet opened. So the Bidens will be allowed to take their places among the other footnotes in the history books. Good riddance.

That leaves Sanders and Buttigieg out of the original field of candidates. I'm glad that Trump corrected America the other day by saying that Sanders is a communist, not a socialist. Sanders is an enemy of America. He should be in prison or living in Moscow, deported back to where he spent his honeymoon. We need to bring back loyalty oaths and fire up the House Un-American Activities Committee again. Sanders and Obama would fail the questioning portion of the pageant, but they'd do well in the talent competition with their ability to deceive. Such lying fkers.

Buttigieg. He's a CIA asset. No telling what his true history is. He seems to be, like Obama, a construct of the US intelligence apparatus:

Pete Buttigieg: The made-to-order political “outsider”
"This aspect of Buttigieg’s resumé closely resembles that of Barack Obama, who worked for CIA-connected Business International at age 21-22, making connections within the national security apparatus that stood him in good stead during his meteoric political rise. ... From 2007 to 2010, the year before his first mayoral campaign, Buttigieg served as a consultant at McKinsey & Company, an international consulting firm with revenues of over $10 billion."
wsws.org/en/articles/2019/07/15/butt-j1 ... t-j15.html

And then there's multi-billionaire Mike Bloomberg. He's attempting to buy the Democratic nomination. I find it amazing that the Democrats, who hate one New York billionaire, would back another New York billionaire. Bloomberg might be able to buy his party's nomination, but he won't be able to buy the election.

And the man seems to be suicidal. Apparently he's thinking of asking Hillary Clinton to run as his vice-president. That's Hillary Clinton with the astronomical body count. In 2016 the husband of her number one aide, Huma Abedin, was busted with a computer full of porno. Also on the computer were thousands of H. Clinton's emails. New York City police were going to make the evidence public, but it was seized by the feds. People who saw what was on the computer haven't fared well:

9 Out Of 12 People Who Saw Anthony Weiner's Laptop Are Dead
Two state senators murdered in their own homes? It doesn’t stop there, please listen to the research that Just Informed Talk shares with us below. ... The NYPD inadvertently discovered the laptop while conducting an investigation into allegations that Anthony Weiner was “sexting” a minor, who reportedly resides in another state. ... What the NYPD Investigators did not expect to run into, was hundreds of thousands of emails pertaining to Hillary Clinton, a 2016 Presidential Candidate and her close advisers...."
newsfromtheperimeter.com/home/2019/7/17 ... p-are-dead

It may be that Clinton's way to the presidency leads through an assassinated President Bloomberg. The G.H.W. Bush crew tried to kill Reagan just two months into his presidency. Now THAT was an interesting day, with the Bush people trying to get the nuclear codes from the Reagan people. Finally, Alexander Haig (a Reagan guy) stepped forward and said he was in control. That was a message to the world that the CIA had not succeeded in its coup against the president. We might see that again, and I don't think Clinton's assassins would bungle the job.

The Democrats, the party of diversity, had another debate last night. Dem voters will be pleased to see that the party cleared the stage of all those pesky minorities. But they sold a place at a podium to a billionaire, so that's comforting. Business as usual for the National Socialists.

Bloomberg has spent $412 million so far in his short campaign, but it was worth it because he called Bernie Sanders a communist last night. The audience hissed like Linda Blair under a spray of holy water, and it was wonderful to hear. So now, both Trump and Bloomberg have ID'd Sanders as a moth-eaten old Bolshevik. There's enough residual dislike for the Soviet Union in the US to doom Sanders, so unless Bloomberg can just outright buy the nomination, it looks like the Dems will have a brokered convention. That could mean that H. Clinton will take another stab at humiliation, or former teenage prostitute Oprah, or documented America-hater Michelle Obama. The Dems are damned. it looks like Trump by a landslide at this point. He's the only person who can defeat himself.

That is atrocious even by KS's low standards. The order of succession is as follows.
President
Vice President
Speaker of the House
President Pro Tempore of the Senate
Members of the Cabinet

In that video, Haig infamously claims he is next in line behind the VP. Although he was the senior cabinet officer, Haig was 4 or more levels below the President and was never in charge. Haig outed himself as a hot headed buffoon. (As to the rest of that quote, well as Dwill said, ya gotta be puttin' me on.)
