* As far as the nature of Clinton\u2019s affliction, I\u2019m torn between three choices:<\/p>\n

1) Something cardiac related. The fainting sort of makes sense with this, and some think Hillary is wearing a defibrillator vest or has an implanted defibrillator.<\/p>\n

2) Alcohol. One of the reports described her as \u2018combative\u2019 at the 9\/11 ceremony. Maybe she showed up badly hung over. This sorta makes sense if you think the anonymous party elders floating the idea of a replacement at this stage are horrified at the idea of an alcoholic President.<\/p>\n

3) Something neurological as an outside choice. Permanent damage from the concussion, maybe.<\/p>\n

I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if there\u2019s other stuff, such as her wearing a foley catheter. Really, her wardrobe raises enormous questions. Even Madeline Albright, who is a hefty gal, dressed better. Hillary is one step short of wearing mu-mus.<\/p>\n

* Wall Street would pour money on Miranda as a nonwhite (but don\u2019t give up your tanning salon subscription, Lin-Manuel) who loves Wall Street.<\/p>\n

Silicon Valley and Wall Street like Cory Booker for similar reasons.<\/p>\n

The more I think about this, the more Miranda seems like a dream candidate for the Democrats in 12 to 24 years. Of all the entertainer celebrities, who is more likely to be a strong nuts and bolts politician than a guy who has helped out his dad in managing campaigns? And who else is as good at glamorizing political history? I brought up Affleck, since \u201cArgo\u201d was intended to help Jimmy Carter\u2019s reputation. But what Miranda has done for Alexander Hamilton\u2019s Q Score is amazing.<\/p>\n

The guy is a writer and a performer. Everybody in New York loves this guy.<\/p>\n

If he continues to compose blockbuster Broadway hits, I\u2019m sure he\u2019ll stick to entertainment. But what if his next couple of shows aren\u2019t as well-received? He\u2019s already set for life from royalties from Hamilton when it becomes a high school musical staple. Maybe when he\u2019s 45 he gets interested in the family business of politics?<\/p>\n

One issue is that it\u2019s hard to get elected to the Senate from New York because there are so many celebrities, including out of towners like Hillary and RFK who want to be Senator from New York.<\/p>\n

I was thinking Ben Affleck could make a decent Ronald Reagan of the left candidate some day, especially with Jennifer Garner as his potential First Lady \u2014 beautiful, likable, 3 kids, and from West Virginia, the most authentically American of all the states. But then \u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
