Looks like she's already in an orange prison jumpsuit. Or maybe that's aubarn orange...hard to tell.
Myself, I'm already resigned to a Trump presidency. One term for sure, but it'll be the term that ends all terms you betcha.

Former Reagan and Bush 41 advisor Bruce Bartlett on Donald Trump:
"I love Donald Trump because he exposes everything about the Republican Party that I have frankly come to hate. It is filled with people who are crazy, and stupid, and have absolutely no idea of what they are talking about. And the candidates, no matter how intelligent they may be, just constantly pander to this lowest common denominator in American politics.
The Trump phenomenon perfectly represents the culmination of populist anti-intellectualism that became dominant in the Republican Party with the rise of the Tea Party. I think many Republican leaders have had misgivings about the Tea Party since the beginning, but the short-term benefits were too great to resist. A Trump rout is Republican moderates' best chance to take back the GOP. I think the problem is obvious and Trump is pointing this out. One of the things we are seeing very clearly this time is that issues don't matter. The only thing that matters is attitude. And Trump has exactly the right 'chip on the shoulder' attitude that many, many people find extraordinarily attractive that is completely divorced from whatever he is saying about the issues, which is precious little."

Interesting. I'm a conservative and I'm predicting a Hillary presidency (although I put her odds at around 60% instead of 80% a month ago). You're a liberal and you're predicting The Donald as POTUS. I find the whole idea of Trump controlling nuclear weapons frightening.

George Will - peace be upon him - is my favorite commentator, but I am not above charging him a royalty for stealing my line.
Rat, you would probably do that regardless. And when you get to LA in your diaper, you will be celebrated as a courageous hero.

I watched Jimmy Carter's press conference announcing his cancer is melanoma and has spread to his brain. When it's my time to go, I hope I show the dignity, courage and faith he did.
