The mummy returns.......

The politician from hell is back on the prowl. I thought, perhaps wishfully, her health had deteriorated to the point where she would not run for election.

 

 

I was wrong. Hillary is back with a vengeance having introduced her campaign via video tape played on the social media in order to better control her demeanor, appearance and speech. I wonder how many re-takes she and her minions made before the final cut.

 

I did not watch the video, but only saw some stills. She looked much younger and lighter than other recent photographs that continue to infiltrate the media like vermin. Those media that represent her opposition go to great lengths to select those images of Hillary which are most unflattering.

 

 

It is already all-out war and we still have more than a year and a half to go before the election.

 

So far, Hillary is the only announced Democratic Party candidate.

 

 

The republican candidates, by contrast, are popping up like lemmings. Every indication is that, like the last presidential election, the republicans will commit mass political hari kari by slaughtering each other and poisoning themselves through heated and vitriolic debates.

 

 

One result of all this is phenomenally popular fodder for the mainstream liberal media. The main theme of the 2016 presidential race may well be vilification of professional and career politicians regardless of their party label.

 

To date, the only republican candidates to have officially announced their candidacies are self-proclaimed libertarian Rand Paul and constitutionalist tea party favorite Ted Cruz. Both have moments of brilliance and mass appeal that is inevitably  shattered by statements of an extremist loony variety.

 

 

Ted walks hand in hand with God while Rand could easily be mistaken at times for a democrat. He is admittedly testy in interviews and appears to have no policy anchor for his campaign.

 

 

We shall see.
