This has been scary as all hell if you do not wish to see President Trump
happen.First we had what was essentially the first "debate" although the
candidates did not appear onstage together. The "Commander-In-Chief
Forum" went horribly wrong for Hillary as she was immediately put on the
defensive by Matt Lauer beginning by asking her about her email/server
blunder. A fair question by the way but Clinton handled it horribly and
Lauer pushed forward with the topic and so did an audience member. It was
a disaster for Clinton. She came off looking and sounding like an utter
screw-up...and the truth is she was in this case and now admits it. Trump came out later and was his usual freewheeling full of shit nut and
Lauer did not pursue the fact that Trump made some statements that were
not true. The media saw how horrible Clinton did and having little to defend her in
this case BLAMED MATT LAUER and crucified him for doing a horrible job
because he dared to ask her about a major FBI investigation of her
behavior while she was Secretary of State. OK, so in this instance with
everybody horrified that Clinton obviously "lost" the "Commander-In-
Chief" thing and literally went up in flames they came to her
defense...because for the "first time" supposedly people in the media
realized Clinton could lose this election. Fine, I get that. I also do not want Trump to be president. They were
totally full of shit to blame Lauer and in an event like that Lauer DID
NOT walk out there with nobody knowing what he was going to ask. That
would have been vetted and decided on by a number of people. So, Lauer
was in no way to blame nor is it his fault that Clinton created a
firestorm and FBI investigation through her idiotic choice to use an
unprotected private server for all her email. She is totally at fault for
that and for putting herself in a position where Lauer was able to ask
that question. So, this began the free fall. Then Clinton made the mistake of first calling "half" of Trump supporters
a "basket of deplorables" and then followed up that mistake by blaming
the media for blowing that comment out of proportion...at which point the
media turned on her including CNN and now has been saying that Clinton
has sunk to Trump's level with her comments. This is not true but the
media is repeating it because Clinton called them out for not being
objective...which they have not been and generally just react horribly
and with total nonsense to just about every goddamned thing that happens.
So then Clinton has to back down from her statements and apologize in an
effort to get the media to settle down but of course apologizing for this
just allows them all to scream "SEE SHE WAS WRONG THAT WAS A HORRIBLE
THING FOR HER TO SAY!"OK, so the "Commander-In-Chief" disaster really was hers...she owns
that...but the media turning on her for the "basket of deplorables"
comment that really was a shit storm of their creation. Yes, she could
have worded that better and the truth is it is probably only about 30% of
Trump supporters that are actually in the "basket of deplorables" so she
was off by 20% but big deal. When that basket holds David Duke, and 16%
of his voters that when polled say "Whites are a superior race" and 30%
say "gays and Muslims should be banned from the country" we do have some
deplorable people in the crowd. So, Clinton should not have been forced
into an apology...just a clarification. Something like "OK, I was wrong
it was not 50% only about 30% of Trump supporters are deplorable."Which brings us to the nightmare of Clinton collapsing/fainting and being
rushed out of the 9/11 ceremony which horrifically was captured on video.
So, in the midst of people blowing up health concerns about her she
actually ends up collapsing in front of the media at a major event. This would likely be the end of the campaign for just about any
candidate. I mean Howard Dean was wiped out just by a goofy scream. Can
you imagine Dean, Joe Biden, or John Kerry, or god forbid Bernie Sanders
collapsing and having to be carried out of a major event in front of
cameras?That would be a shit storm of epic proportions and wait...it gets worse.
This was a huge emergency for the Clinton campaign so they sent Bill out
to appear on TV and be interviewed by Charlie Rose to assure people that
Hillary is just fine...problem is Bill screws up in the interview and
admits that Hillary collapses like this "frequently" and that this has
happened before. Not good. I mean if this were anybody else this would absolutely destroy
their campaign. If people found out Trump, Sanders, Howard Dean, Joe
Biden collapsed "frequently" they would be told to get the hell out of
the race right now. But wait it gets worse.Don Fowler former head of the DNC and Clinton friend and supporter has
called for an immediate emergency plan to replace Clinton IF this really
is a major health crisis for her...-------A former Democratic National Committee chairman says President Barack
Obama and the party’s congressional leaders should immediately come up
with a process to identify a potential successor candidate for Hillary
Clinton for the off-chance a health emergency forces her out of the race.“Now is the time for all good political leaders to come to the aid of
their party,” said Don Fowler, who helmed the DNC from 1995 to 1997,
during Bill Clinton’s presidency, and has backed Hillary Clinton since
her 2008 presidential bid. “I think the plan should be developed by 6
o’clock this afternoon.”

Follow us: @politico on Twitter | Politico on Facebook ------All of this looks like absolute shit as the first debate looms. Clinton
just does horrible in front of the cameras and now she really will need
to answer questions about her "health crisis" on top of generally always
looking bad in a public forum where she is answering questions. I thought we'd never have to seriously consider a Trump presidency. I
hoped we'd never have to. Now, we are on the brink. Personally, I think
that video of her collapsing is about a thousand times more damaging than
Howard Dean's scream, Dukakis in the tank, just an utter disaster. But we will see.
