Clinton v Trump - The Stretch Run Thread

As I’ve said in the past, he’s Stupid Nixon:

I have no problem saying Nixon was a smart man. I have no problem saying Nixon did good things for the country. Nixon even, to a limited extent, had principles: Preserve The Establishment, even as it was being torn down by the New Left from without and the rising Conservative Movement from within.

Trump has none of those qualities. He’s a stupid man, he can do no good for anyone, especially not himself, and his only principle is Trump Is Great. However, whereas Nixon used his intelligence to be a more cunning animal, a more vicious and dangerous threat, Trump stumbles over himself and gets in his own way to the point his only support comes from die-hard My Party, Right Or Wrong types and the more blatantly fascistic Fringe Right front.

Nixon was a good house with a cracked and subsiding foundation finally collapsing on itself. Trump was a dumpster fire which got a lot more fuel poured onto it to become a dumpster fire for the ages. To use a tired Internet phrase, “and nothing of value was lost”.
