Historic Hillary Clinton Trounces Trump To Be the 45th President of the U.S.

October 5, 2016 --

LPR imagines that something like the above-headline will appear in the media, November 9, with the Hillary Clinton’s defeat of Donald J. Trump. This thought comes to mind on September 28, two days after, per media account, former Secretary Clinton trounced “Donald” as she seems to prefer to call him, in their first debate.    LPR has a hunch that the media will continue to count on this sort of headline whatever happens in the two remaining Clinton-Trump debates, October 9 and October 19.  After all, is there any doubt that, for the media, a Trump win is unthinkable?  Lester Holt concluded the first debate by asking the participants if they will accept the November 8 election outcome.  Both candidates said they would accept the result.  LPR, however, ask Mr. Holt, and his colleagues at NBC News, and The New York Times, Washington Post, et al – will you accept a Trump win should it happen.  LPR is not confident the media would accept a Trump victory (Please see poll question).

With a Hillary Clinton administration, LPR predicts that she will appoint Jeb Bush, secretary of state; Lloyd Blankfein, treasury secretary, and Sid Blumenthal as her chief of staff.  Sen. Bernie Sanders will be named defense secretary; Huma Abedin, our permanent representative at the United Nations, and Debbie Wasserman Schultz will be our ambassador to Israel.

“Donald” will be indicted on a long list of felonies, guaranteeing that he will be too preoccupied with trying to stay out of jail, not to mention lots of civil complaints, than to continue to call for real change from the Obama-Clinton (a/k/a The Establishment) status quo.
