Recently Heard

...though I imagine it goes back over a year ago. "Donald Trump is arrogant enough, and unprincipled enough, to think he can do business with Don Corleone. Hey, you can work with that man. He's always been a great guy to me, always follows through on what he says. That would ordinarily disqualify him from the presidency, except...

Hillary Clinton is Don Corleone."

Donald Trump has been doing business with Don Corleone for 40 years. New York City is run by a troika of the Democratic Party machine, the unions, and organized crime. If you want to do anything in that city you learn how to deal with those crooks.

Stolen from TCrosse over on Althouse: The people inside the bubble of the ruling class have probably never met a wise guy from Queens, and they don't know when he's fucking with them.

Hillary Clinton's campaign spent a lot of time and money on the message that Donald Trump was a BAD MAN. At times it seemed the primary message of her campaign. That message was problematic when one examined the record of the Clintons, neither of whom were candidates for sainthood. Perhaps Hillary was operating on the principle that the best defense is a good offense.

Even ignoring what we knew about the Clintons before 2017,what we have learned in recent months about the truth regarding the "collusion" of Trump with Russia indicates that Don Corleone sounds like a pretty good fit for a Clinton- or for Barack Obama. (

Don Corleone (Vito) was a competent criminal. Hillary is Sonny, at best. Closer to Fredo.
