Common Sense Scoreboard
>As of 9:00 this evening, Mr. Trump has shown no signs of “Trexit”, heading not, my earnest advice. (Big surprise!). Despite a golden opportunity to punt, it looks like he’s going to run the ball on the fourth down. So, with this in mind I thought we might take a common sense look at the “scoreboard” as it stands at the two minute warning. In addition to listing an item, I’ll give a “diagnosis” as well.
>Let’s see, we’ve learned, from a leaked 10 year old interview, that:
1) Mr. Trump, not in mixed company, used offensive language in sophomoric references to the opposite sex.
Diagnosis: teenage fixation.
Add this to what we already knew:
2) Mr. Trump will exercise his constitutional right to financial privacy, and MAY have used corporate losses to LEGALLY (remember he’s been audited a couple dozen times and NO irregularities were ever found) reduce his taxes as ALLOWED in our nation’s tax code. Diagnosis: smart business man.
3) He’s a loudmouth. Diagnosis: he’s a loudmouth.
That’s about it on the Trump side.
>In the mean time, on the Hillary side, we learn from the latest batch of emails, that:
1) Hillary ok’d the transfer of 20% of OUR uranium enrichment to a RUSSIAN owned company who provided MASSIVE donations to the Clinton foundation. Diagnosis: Bribery.
2) Hillary worked in collusion with the Obama administration to try to minimize the fallout from her email scandal. Diagnosis: improper use of government influence.
3) The Clinton campaign wants an “unaware and compliant citizenry!” Diagnosis: condescension in the first degree.
Add this to what we already knew:
4) Deletion of 30,000 emails AFTER subpoena. Diagnosis:
Obstruction of Justice. Evidence tampering.
5) Gross negligence as Secretary of State regarding our men in Benghazi. Diagnosis: Negligent manslaughter. Depraved indifference.
6) Conducted top secret communications on unsecured servers. Diagnosis: Violation of The Espionage Act, section 793, “Gathering, transmitting, or loosing defense information.”
Penalty: “Fines and imprisonment of not more than 10 years.” Criminal intent, in THIS circumstance, is NOT required by statute!
7) Used questionable evidence to knowingly and wrongly free a child rapist. Diagnosis: misleading a jury.
8) Intimidated into silence several women who were raped by her husband. Diagnosis: Blackmail.
Well, folks, I could go on. But I tire. Take a look at the score board. Two minutes to go. No time outs left. What do YOU think?
