Drumpf?

[Thumpalumpacus]

Does anyone have anything substantial to offer as to my original question?  What can we expect from a Clinton Presidency?  Why should we vote for her?  What are her meaningful accomplishments and qualifications for the position? I have only seen one or two tangible offerings.

So, does anyone, have any informative nuggets to share as to why we should vote for Mrs Clinton that is not because her opponent is untenable?

She's certainly qualified on the world-stage, knowing many of the major players personally and having interacted with them over four years. She understands the language of diplomacy -- how to tell someone bad news without making a new enemy. She understands how to work the State Department bureaucracy. She's been in Congress for a long time and knows how to push a (ahem) bill through.

In short, she's actually worked inside the government and understands where the levers are and what they do.

What do I expect from such a Presidency? More of the same as we've had, I'm afraid. But I'd rather that than some assnugget who plumps his own virtues even as he's blind to his own failings. Trump couldn't guide a turd into a toilet without second-guessing the bowl and proclaiming his aim the reason for a successful flush. And yes, that is a remark about his incompetence for the office. If you don't think the incompetence of one candidate is reason enough to give the other honest consideration, I don't know what more to say except please stay home and don't vote for an incompetent fool.

You'd like to discuss her qualities without regard to her opponent, but that's disingenuous. We're not judging one person, we're judging two people. If you're honest, you'll address Trump's shortcomings.

We'll see how honest you are.

Choices aren't made in vacuums, and you'll have to answer for your vote. I hope your grandchildren won't rake you over the coals for the foolishness of being so partisan you cannot place your country first -- but if you're guilty of that charge, you will have earnt their calumny.
