Why Hillary will be our next President

I will not vote for Hillary nor do I support her in any way. But I want to prepare my fellow conservatives for the reality of the next election. The certainty of another Clinton presidency is not yet secured, but the possibility grows greater everyday. Here are some reasons why Hillary will be the next president:

1. 1. The Clinton's are scandal proof. Crooked donors, bad tax records or misleading testimonies never stick to the Clintons. For example, in recent weeks the Hillary campaign had to give back large sums of money because the donor was a fugitive from justice. Name the fugitive donor. Most people cannot and do not even know about the situation. For any other candidate, whether Democrat or Republican, it would have been an albatross around their neck. The Clintons know how to weather scandals better than anyone else in politics.
2. 2. Face facts, there are still plenty of Democrats who would prefer to vote for a white woman over a black man. Yes, there are many progressive Democrats who are colorblind. But there are still plenty of the old Jim Crow Democrats across the South that will never vote for a black president.
3. 3. For many people the name Clinton is synonymous with peace and prosperity. The high tax rates and multiple terrorist attacks were quickly forgotten. Never mind that America experienced several high profile terrorist attacks that were not avenged. The ground work for 9/11 was laid during the Clinton years. The Clinton administration could only fire a few cruise missiles at some tents and blow up an aspirin factory in Sudan (a clear instance of lying about a military action). The military was stretched thin with air strikes in Bosnia and ill-equipped troops in Somalia with no clear mission objective. Despite the escalation of terrorism world-wide and growing sectarian violence in Europe and Africa, the Clintons made people feel safe.
4. 4. The Republicans do not offer much of an alternative. A Republican Congress was ineffectual and out of touch. They failed to do the things that got them elected. Government spending went up and border security went down. Republicans are failing to adequately explain to the American people why we are in Iraq or what the war on terrorism is all about. Republicans can not claim the moral high ground because of numerous real, ethical scandals. There are too many Republican senators that act like democrats and have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo.

There are more reasons, but this is a good start. I would like to see a Republican candidate who did not lead from focus groups. A man who had strong convictions and did not care if they were politically correct. A man who follows his conscience and who possesses a moral compass orientated toward the Judeo-Christian ethics. Does such a candidate exist? At the moment I am doubtful and I am also doubtful that America would want such a candidate. In the end we always get the President we deserve. I am afraid that President will be Hillary R. Clinton.
