You Can Always Count On Hillary

The nation faces all sorts of problems, so what's the big headline of the moment?  Hillary Clinton says in her new book that she wanted to call President Trump a "creep" at the second debate last fall.  It's hard to believe that anyone could possibly care what Hillary Clinton has to say on any subject.  She lost and she ought to be yesterday's news.  But the idea that Hillary thought about calling Trump names is actually pretty funny.  During the campaign (and for years before that), nothing came out of Clinton's mouth that hadn't first been tested with a focus group.  She couldn't possibly call Trump a creep during the debate unless her staff had first tested to see the reactions of voters to that move.  After all, Clinton was the opposite of Trump.  Her every move was scripted; nothing was spontaneous. 

Hillary got a multi-million dollar advance for this book and the big headline is on the question of calling Trump names.  Amazing.  As a former partner of mine used to say, "We're living in troubled times."
