Divide and Conquer

Hillary Clinton’s chief campaign strategist, Geoff Garin actually said on Meet the Press that, ”[t]here’s an analogy with what happened in November 2000.”

Yes there is and Hillary Clinton is on the wrong side of that analogy. It’s the one where the candidate with fewer votes insisted on contesting the race long past when he should have conceded to the winning candidate. Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary in 2008 is the year 2000 general election’s George W. Bush.

But Hillary’s got no backstop, no ace in the hole. There’s no conservative majority of the Supreme Court to give Hillary Clinton the office she hasn’t won on her own merits. She stands only to divide and trash the Democratic Party, again, to the nation’s peril.
