I generally like this guy's blogs/articles/opinions, but this is where I depart.

I’m not a fan of everything our president has done, but I feel as if historians will rank him as one of our best presidents. Definitely in the top 20%.

We've never had a president kiss rings, bow down, and/or apologize to other countries for anything. We've also never had a president spend so much money and get so little in return. Never had one trade 5 terrorists for a lowly deserter, and never had one sign so many unfavorable/unpopular executive orders. Never had one fight to keep our borders unsafe/unsecured, either.

The list goes on.

Maybe Obama won't land in the worst 20%, by virtue of an ever growing liberal (historian) sentiment, but he dam sure doesn't deserve to be in even the top 50%, much less the top 20%.

Scott Adams: Now It’s a Fair Fight

By Scott Adams

It appears that the Clinton campaign has wisely decided to abandon its claim to reason, facts, and other losing strategies, and go “full fear” as their persuasion theme. The idea is that pairing Trump with nuclear war will make him unelectable ( http://tinyurl.com/h82szdd ). That could work!

Fear is a strong motivator. It is even stronger than Make America Great, because fear generally tops opportunity in our emotional priorities. If Clinton turns up the fear-o-meter to maximum, that’s all anyone will remember.

The downside of using fear as a campaign theme is that it might inspire more street violence, as we saw yesterday against Trump supporters. That isn’t a good visual to have in the public eye, especially when some of the anti-Trumpers are waving Mexican flags.

Still, this marks a new and more effective phase of the Clinton campaign. Now we have a real fight. Clinton had to become Donald Trump to pull it off, but that’s a small price to pay for victory.

Clinton’s “thin-skinned” insult for Trump is a solid Linguistic Kill Shot. And it’s the first weapons-grade language I have seen from their camp.

Looks like they got a new advisor. It isn’t me. Apparently my $2.5 billion price tag was too high.

In other news, Clinton’s social media people obviously hate her because this keeps happening. (Keyword = yet)
