It’s been a long time since SLL has read anything as stupid as the following, even in The Wall Street Journal. From Gerald F. Seib, the concluding two paragraphs of an article “The Damage Sanders’s Clinton Bashing May Do,” 4/19/16:
Mrs. Clinton appears to have the upper hand in a general-election matchup against either Mr. Trump or Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. But in either case, she’ll need Sanders voters to show up. And it appears that in a matchup against Mr. Trump, a fair share of her vote would come from people embracing her as the less of two evils.
The problem with the Sanders attacks is he is close to portraying her as representing a kind of evil in the system, which threatens to erode that particular advantage.
Hillary Clinton does not represent “a kind of evil in the system,” she’s the living embodiment of every one of the system’s evils. She is a thoroughly corrupt influence peddler and crony capitalist who has accomplished nothing except extraordinary damage in every position she has ever held and only has a shot at the Democrat’s nomination due to the perversities of identity politics. To call her two-faced would be to undercount by at least ten or twelve. She is hanging by a thread on her emails; anyone else except President Obama would have been indicted long ago. Those who have been paying attention the past twenty-four years can name at least a dozen odious scandals with which she was involved that have been swept under the rug. Clinton should be thanking her lucky stars that the Bern has been as gentle on her as he has been. Donald Trump will not be so nice.
