Dear Hillary,
Will you please just go
back to making cookies or otherwise vanish until after the 2020
election.
Thanks and best wishes,
Your Friend Wes
You know, we all know
you’re a pretty smart person with some pretty good ideas. But your train
has left the station. And some people seem to think you’re toying with the idea
of giving another shot at running for the presidency. Please don’t. Third time isn’t always the charm.
Write another book or
something. Tell us in it about your adventures as Bill’s wife. Or first lady.
Or senator. Or secretary of state. Groom Chelsea for something bigger
than that 15 minutes she supposedly worked for NBC.
Do anything but open
your mouth in public. You mock the minor candidates, picking on Tulsi
Gabbard, who is at best a long shot, but probably not even that. And to
what end? That’s something you must have learned from trump. You weren’t always
that way. Or at least it never before seemed so. That catfight is, um,
deplorable to use a word you seem to like.
The only reason anyone
pays any attention to you these days is fear… fear that you can’t read the
giant tealeaf that enwrapped you as you opened trump’s cage allowing him to
romp and tweet his way into making the US whatever one calls the opposite of a
developing nation.
Yes, it would be nice to
have a woman in the White House. There are more than 150-million American
women who might be considered. You shouldn’t be one of them.
You are responsible for
trump, the reason our allies hate us and our enemies are gleefully waiting for
what’s left of us to fall into the ocean. You know, the ocean. That swelling
body of water fed by melting ice caps and icebergs someone might have
attenuated when there was still time.
Obama beat you fair and
square. trump beat you using the most colossal mistake in the constitution, the
electoral college. Yes, you won the popular vote. But a smart woman like
you could have seen trump’s tactic coming.
Maybe you did. Was it hubris? Did
you believe it was “your turn?” This
country tends not to pay attention to whose “turn” it is to lead us.
The bottom line on all
this is simple: Nobody likes you. Now, please go away.
GRAPESHOT:
-Looks like it’s time to
revise the constitution to eliminate the Electoral College, thus removing
political slime from power and restoring it to the voters.
-Whatever happened to
“drain(ing) the swamp?
SHRAPNEL:
--The anonymous writer
of a tell-all op-ed piece about the trump White House is about to publish a
book that expands on what he or she first wrote. This sparks a
question. Is the author this century’s
Woodward and Bernstein or is he this century’s Clifford Irving?

opinions are my own but you’re welcome to them. ®
