On to the General Election

All the polling indicates that Donald Trump really will, after tomorrow's Indiana primary, become the GOP's presumptive presidential nominee.  Secretary Clinton has already achieved that status. 

So...the general election will be between one of the most credentialed candidates in recent history and perhaps the least qualified of all time. The odds strongly favor Secretary Clinton; but it is a peculiar year. 

I stood for Bernie in my caucus and sent him money.  And although I never expected him to win the nomination, I did expect him to make Secretary Clinton at least more responsive to a truly progressive agenda.  The jury is still out on that one.

By the same token I did NOT expect The Donald's shelf life to last beyond the first primaries.  I assumed we'd get some retread like Jebb or proto-retread like Marco.

The Donald should not be underestimated. 

On the positive side, Secretary Clinton has been scrutinized for thirty years.  Her skeletons are old enough to be in a museum (that's a strange statement; but somehow it works).

Also on the positive side, Trump's skeletons are still moldering....and many have not been unearthed.

And...also on the positive side Secretary Clinton can make a convincing case in most any policy area where The Donald simply has no policy and is unlikely to propose one.

Because the downside is that The Donald's whole general election campaign will be exactly the same as his primary campaign.  LET'S MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. It will be a campaign based on his charisma and personality.  Period.

So....we'll see...
