As expected, it looks like Clinton will win Pennsylvania. For six weeks we’ve been hearing that this is a critical primary. Tomorrow we’ll be hearing that it settled nothing. From here on, it’s all down hill for Clinton. The only question is whether she’ll take the Democratic party (and the nation and the world) down with her.
A friend of mine called me to rant today. He mentioned that he was reading Doris Kearn Goodwins No Ordinary Time. The title is derived from Franklin Roosevelt’s statement explaining his reasons for running for a third term. My friend said that these too, are no ordinary times, and he was distressed that our politicians, not to mention the press, seem to be unaware of this fact. We are faced with the threat of economic ruin and global environmental disaster, to mention only the top two. Oh, I forgot to mention the gravest threat to our own system of government since the Republic was founded. Lot’s of people recognize the fact that these are, indeed, extraordinary times. I hope, somewhere in her ambitious little soul, that Clinton does too. We do need an end to this.
