Hillary Clinton’s Backers Thought She Couldn’t Lose. Now, ‘I Can’t Go There.’ (too funny)
N Y Times ^ | 9/16/2016 | Matt Flegenheimer

Beside the olive display at Zabar’s, that iconic hub of lox and neurosis on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, Linda Donohue was trying to talk herself down. Surely the polls she tracked anxiously were not to be trusted, she said. Surely Donald J. Trump, the man with the garish golden tower across town, would not be allowed to reach the White House. “We have to have more faith in the American public,” said Ms. Donohue, 61, a longtime New Yorker now living in Seattle. A man behind her could not suppress a loud snort. Then Cathi Anderson, who was shopping with Ms. Donohue, mentioned yet another distressing poll, this one from Ohio, which showed Mr. Trump ahead. Ms. Donohue nodded grimly. Just in case her faith in the American electorate was misplaced, Ms. Donohue said, she had retained her Irish citizenship. For both parties, every election can feel like the most vital of a lifetime, the one day standing between a still-proud nation and its imminent demise. Among liberals, there is an especially rich tradition of “bed-wetting,” as even some practitioners call it, at the faintest sign of shakiness from their candidate. But as Hillary Clinton lurches toward Election Day, her supporters at times seem overwhelmed by a tsunami of unease, exacerbated by Mrs. Clinton’s bout of pneumonia and a slow-footed acknowledgment of the illness. They are confronting a question they had assumed, just a few weeks ago, they would not need to consider in a race against the most unpopular presidential nominee in modern times: Could Mrs. Clinton actually blow this?

Hillary lost last Sunday. It’s all down to the DNC’s print-out-the-votes machine. The DNC and the MSM are doing everything in their power to throw her over the finish line ahead of Trump.

They aren’t worried that we’ll get a bad President.

They are worried that their candidate will lose and that will reflect poorly on them.

The purpose of politics is to select the best person for a job.

The purpose of politics is not to validate every foolish Liberal’s ego.

His friend’s bichon frisé-poodle mix, Dipsy, sat on the bench beside him, looking fretful.

Mr. Vidal was asked what was troubling Dipsy.

“She’s a Democrat,” Mr. Vidal said dryly.


The dog in the picture looks vacuous rather than fretful. I guess he is a dem.

Heh, when I read lox and neurosis in Manhattan, I thought it was about Woody Allen—but he don’t like Trump either, I’m sure...

The poor souls should cross the Hudson to the land of the deplorables, where we’re beginning to stir with the prospect of being able to breathe free once again.

Lame Cherry: Hillary Clinton’s Vampyra Treatments
For those who will dismiss the following exclusive in Lame Cherry matter anti matter, the root source of this story is Peter Thiel, ... THE LAME CHERRY CAFE.
http://lamecherry.blogspot.com/2016/08/hillary-clintons-vampyra-treatments.html

As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.

Observing Hillary Clinton’s return from the air tubes down her throat, is fascinating in the use of blood therapy as was exclusively covered on this blog in Hillary Clinton’s transfusions of young blood in her  elixir of buying a few more days in this world..

Tech Billionaire Peter Thiel Transfuses Young Blood To Avoid ...
It seems tech billionaire, Peter Thiel, never wants to get old. ... Peter Thiel injects blood from young people to fight aging. Is it ever effective?
http://www.scienceworldreport.com/articles/44881/20160803/tech-billionaire-peter-thiel-transfuses-young-blood-to-avoid-aging-getting-old.htm

Stem cell, cord blood, youthful extractions

The woman is a leech on the young. Of course, she wants to control them. She needs their blood.

“I thought it was about Woody Allen”

Yeah,,, but I liked a couple of his movies, like Radio Days and his band tour movie. He’s a good musician.
