NY Times is surprised, but it’s long been the case.

His lede story today, titled “She’s alive!” about her resuming campaigning:

You thought she was in bad shape? You were so wrong!

As Sec. of State, no problem, but president is different. Why? Because she has to get elected to be president.

Clinton Foundation president Donna Shalala says the charity would need to transition some of its work to other organizations if Hillary Clinton is president — even though it didn’t do so when she was secretary of state.

“When she’s president, there’s no process you could set up that would eliminate conflict of interest — so we actually have to reduce the size of the foundation and what it does,” Shalala, who was secretary of Health and Human Services under President Bill Clinton, said in an interview with CNN’s Alisyn Camerota on “New Day.”
“What we have to do when she’s president is we have to actually eliminate any aspect of conflict of interest — so all the international programs are spun off,” she said.

Aren’t they careful about this when it suits them.

Let us now praise an insightful columnist. Ladies and gentlemen, Henninger:

Hillary Clinton’s comment that half of Donald Trump’s supporters are “racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic”—a heck of a lot of phobia for anyone to lug around all day—puts back in play what will be seen as one of the 2016 campaign’s defining forces: the revolt of the politically incorrect.

A revolt that has many people’s shorts in a bunch.

Like borrowing more than all presidents before him, as Obama did? Like paying banks to hold idle funds, negative interest rates? Like what else that Trump might put an end to, leading nation into the crazy world of the sensible?

. . . we think she did, anyhow. But so did many others. So let’s build on that, she decided, and came up with quite a tale.

Mussolini here and here:

“Given that the nineteenth century was the century of Socialism, of Liberalism, and of Democracy, it does not necessarily follow that the twentieth century must also be a century of Socialism, Liberalism and Democracy: political doctrines pass, but humanity remains, and it may rather be expected that this will be a century of authority … a century of Fascism. For if the nineteenth century was a century of individualism it may be expected that this will be the century of collectivism and hence the century of the State.”

Socialism’s two legs:

“Socialism needs two legs on which to stand; a right and a left.
While appearing to be in complete opposition to one another,
they both march in the same direction.”
— Paul Proctor
American columnist

Spotting a red:

“How do you tell a Communist?
Well, it’s someone who reads Marx and Lenin.
And how do you tell an anti-Communist?
It’s someone who understands Marx and Lenin.”
— Ronald Reagan

Yes, the best, and nothing to be ashamed of.

Loved it. Essential to his goals.
