Stronger Together

Hillary Clinton’s theme at the Democrat National Convention was that “we are stronger together.”  She has occasionally used this same theme in bashing her rival, Donald Trump.

The theme of “Stronger Together” was used to appeal to supporters of Bernie Sanders, whose campaign the Democrat National Committee attempted to subvert during the primaries in the spring to the favor of Hillary Clinton.  Bernie Sanders’s supporters were supposed to forget the needless dirty tricks pulled on them and on their candidate during the campaign by Clinton surrogates, and to enthusiastically get behind Hillary Clinton, the beneficiary of the dirty tricks.  Sanders supporters were supposed to let bygones be bygones in the quest to put Hillary in the Whitehouse and to defeat that evil man, Donald Trump, because she was not involved, she was only the beneficiary.

It is true that in general a group is stronger and more successful when the people that comprise it work together in a coordinated way.  But the appeal of the Hillary campaign is that she would be stronger against Trump if Sanders’s supporters got behind her.  The common cause which Hillary supposedly represented was supposed to be the glue that held the Democrat coalition together.

Hillary has used the same theme in bashing Trump.  Trump is divisive, and evil, and wrong, as Hillary says with increasing stridency, a shrieking voice, and an angry look in her bulging eyes.  Only by being united can America be stronger, she declares completely obvious to the non sequitur she just uttered, but entirely in keeping with her lawyerly obfuscations in her defences against proofs of misdeeds.

The incongruousness of listening to Hillary shriek her hatred of all things Trump and of all of Trump’s supporters, and then to call for everyone to unite behind her, is much like the same experience when done by President Barack Obama, except without the shrieking and a better job of faking sincerity.

Can Hillary be a leader given that she is a congenital liar?  She lies about lying.

Benghazi survivor “Tonto” Paronto said it best that Hillary can’t be a leader because she fails to take responsibility for her actions, and places the blame for failure upon subordinates.

Hillary can promise all she likes to her supporters on controversial measures, but she won’t get them through a Republican controlled congress.  She can shriek and blame evil Republicans for thwarting her will and breaking her promises, but the fact remains that she is making promises on the campaign trail that she knows she can’t keep.  Did I mention that she was a congenital liar?

Besides heaping buckets of manure on Trump, Hillary is also on record as stating that she is proud that Republicans are her enemies.  Yes, that 48 % of the electorate that voted for Romney are her enemies.  Republicans in congress are her enemies.  (What was that again about “Stronger Together?”)  Q. Who is this coalition of the stronger fighting?  A. Other Americans, it would seem.  Not ISIS.  Not radical Islamic terrorism.  Other Americans.

All is made clear when one grasps that Hillary Clinton is a self-seeking congenital liar, and being president is now, at last, is her due.  She is going to use the Whitehouse to validate the lies she and a lot of left-wing progressives believe about others and about the world, and meanwhile she will enrich herself and her family by granting the favors of the United States government to those who pay-to-play with the Clinton Foundation.

The one question that should be asked of Hillary is that if she becomes president, what are Bill’s speaking fees going to become?

Bashing her political opponents as evil is the premise before Hillary calls for everyone to unite behind her.

Oddly enough, it is Trump who is a uniter.  He has called upon Sanders’s supporters to join him to fix a broken, rigged system, and to put a stop to stupid trade deals that end up harming the American worker.  Trump has extended a hand to Democrats in a way that has causes a great deal of distress in the Republican leadership.

America indeed is “Stronger Together.”  But unity cannot be achieved behind a congenital liar who hates half the electorate.  Trump is far more likely to unite America behind him, despite the loud lamentations and rending of garments among the commentariat.
