This is just stating dislike. HRC did not have a contemptible campaign, just a weak one. And "framing Trump"??? Sorry our republic is in trouble and this bullshit is offered?

Hi Jason. We connected via The Dispatch.

As Jonah Goldberg so aptly says, ”Character is destiny,” and I think goes both for Trump and both Clintons. I appreciate your calling all sides. I would hope, though, that those of us outside The Swamp realize that those in it use lies to have each other at each others’ throats so they can continue the swampy game. I point to the “a more perfect Union” and “domestic tranquility” in the Preamble to the and thus purpose and intent of the Constitution as how we need to have more patience with each other and give the benefit of the doubt. As you point out there’s a lot of Apocalyptic language out there. A reading and understanding of history shows that there are many worse times than, for example, today’s temporary instance of the worst month-to-month inflation in a decade when a Pandemic banged up economy struggles to right itself and as they cyclically do energy prices are spiking. Or said another way, there’s Pavlov, the dogs, the red meat, and the salivation. Let’s try not to be the dogs.
