Comments<\/a>:<\/p>\n

* Her commitment to BLM and what it stands for is akin to her commitment to amnesty, unending immigration, acceptance of the \u201crefugees\u201d, and the \u201cDreamers\u201d: a matter now of established dogma\/religion which it is unthinkable to breach.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t see Hillary as being much different from Merkel: as rigid on points of official religion as has been true of the pious across history. I think there a lot more women like this than men, which is why the most devout parishioners, the ones who, say, show up for Mass every day, are far more frequently women than men. Men, on average, give logic and evidence considerably more weight and are less attached to dogma qua dogma. Women tend to feel their way to belief, to be rigid in their commitment, and to punish dissenters more readily and, generally, more severely. (This is the sort of behavior one sees most transparently among feminists\u2013and there is a huge number of feminists. I can\u2019t think of a like movement among men that approaches the same number.)<\/p>\n

One will notice that Bill Clinton has been far more prone to going off the reservation on BLM. One might explain that in a variety of ways, but I think an important component is that, as an intelligent man \u2014 if generally a cynically calculating one \u2014 the pure bullshit of it is sometimes too much to take.<\/p>\n

I really doubt that Hillary even perceives the bullshit. She takes the bullshit as coming from somewhere on high, and therefore unquestionable. She was, for example, convinced \u2014 probably by that preachy moron Samantha Power \u2014 that Arab Spring was coming, that Qaddafi was an Evil Man who had to be killed, that Assad was an Evil Man who had to be deposed. In the grip of this mindset, Hillary stuck to her guns in pursuit of her idea of Righteousness. At least one sign of her fundamental sociopathy in pursuit of Right was that in infamous video in which she joked around about killing Qaddafi. I wonder if to this day she has any real belief that what she did in the ME was a mistake, other than a political one.<\/p>\n

More than anything else, what I fear in Hillary is more of the same rigidity and perverse adherence to ideology over any other consideration. Merkel is a good example of how that can turn out, and I see Hillary as coming from the same mold.<\/p>\n

As for the question of whether Trump has any chance at this point, I think we need to hang fire and wait it out.<\/p>\n

Hillary is obviously winning the fake news, but Trump wins the real news. I doubt we\u2019ve seen the end of Milwaukees, or worse, before the election. And we are certain to see more Orlandos and Nices \u2014 the only question is whether they occur before, or after, the election. I suspect the jihadists would just love to get the extra attention that comes with the election season, and would love the possibility of having an impact on that election (even at the expense of getting in someone who would seem powerfully to oppose them).<\/p>\n

And there is finally, and with the greatest likelihood, the possibility that WikiLeaks will dump a bunch of documents that will be very destructive to the demonstrably very vulnerable Hillary. The email thing hurt her badly at the time. More of the same and worse of the same will not fail to bring down her numbers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
