'Wag the Dog' campaign smells funny

Posted

The Democratic Campaign has been an unusual competition – while Clinton dodges through emails, leaps over national security holes, cowers from Benghazi blame and prances through Townhall meetings, the Democratic managers 'wag the dog's tail' to attract young people to a 1960's-legislator who is running downwind from the smelly mess in Obama country.

Hey if we make things free, and look real friendly, (wag the tail) we can get the people votes. Right?

In short, the Democrats offer a political farce, an opportunity for the elderly poster kid of 'I'll take 'their' money to pay for all that 'Pet Smart' free stuff you deserve. You want a nicer kennel, better chow, a longer leash? The soon to be retired folksy Socialist Bernie Sanders might be your choice. The political show wants you to 'believe' Sanders has a real chance to 'win' popular votes – while Clinton slips the 700 or so Super Delegate doggie-biscuits into her back pocket.

Yes, the fix is already in.

But some people enjoy a good show, a friendly, respectful competition – and having solid 'Democratic manners' is kinda nice. Bernie is like the long lost Uncle that we remember in worn out photographs, who now pops up before our eyes -- like on facebook pages. He has a soft growl, a friendly scowl compared to the candidate who 'tries' to tell the truth despite those 30,000 plus pesky classified emails and 20 top secret messages that put our national security at risk.

So what would Hillary be without a 'Bernie wag-the-tail' contender? It would not be pretty, my friends. She would be left fur-less on the podiums having to answer for her Secretary-of-State, foreign relations disasters –that would be from 'Here to Bengazi,' – not to mention the Syria implosion, the Russian 'upset' (not reset) and the 'you know what' left hanging out over the Iran nuclear-bargain.

In other words, she would have to explain Obama-laced Strat-ergies.

If it weren't for Sanders, Clinton would have to 'splain' what most people should recognize as the 'Titanic' defined here as the Obama Legacy. So, the Bernie tail wags in the debates just like the neighbors dog next door – Hey, he's a cute old fella, but you probably don't want to take him home as there would be some 'serious carpets' to clean in the morning.

As for Hillary, she comes with a scandal-prone pedigree – Democrat that is. We've heard her 'bark' (literally) with lofty howling platitudes about caring for women, children, orphans...illegals, criminals, while earning herself thousands of doggie bones for her 45-minute speech to Wall Steet Banks, lobbyists and corporate interests. When not prancing through shows, Clinton collects doggie treats called 'foundation money' for all the other poor little peons of the world.

In other words, when Hillary is not 'guarding' the Clinton Dog House, she is ready to pounce on the White House, while some are petting the neighbor's old dog.
