Haarvard professor fantasizes about how Crooked Hillary could still be president |
2017-10-18 |
[NEWSWEEK] Sure, it's been more than 340 days since Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... beat Perennial Presidential Campaigner Hillary Crooked HillaryClinton ... former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, Conqueror of Benghazi, Heroine of Tuzla, formerly described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world,usually described by the rest of us as The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away... , but there's still one very narrow, highly unlikely and entirely unprecedented way that Clinton could become president. Sure she could. And it has some Democratic die-hards dreaming again. ... while they're not busy Resistingâ„¢. Harvard University professor Naturally. Lawrence Lessig offered a Clinton path to the presidency on Medium, putting forward a series of "if/then" scenarios that lead to House Speaker Paul Ryan ...Speaker of the House, U.S. Representative for Wisconsin's 1st congressional district, serving since 1999. He is a member of the Republican Party. He proposed an alternative to President Obama's 2011 budget and made himself the target of both Democrat and Republican verbal pies... handing the White House keys to Clinton. The longer a chain of if/then scenarios, the less likely a particular result will occur. Here's how constitutional law expert Lessig lays it out:
Perhaps the answer's unavoidable to fantasists. If I was a gambling guy, I'd say there were a lot more chances against it than in favor. "Without doubt, if Ryan did the right thing, that would be the most extraordinary event in the history of America since the Confederate Army fired on Fort Sumter. But unlike that, this event would build the union, not divide it." Nope. It would give the party of the Confederacy its way. Lessig, who briefly ran for the Democratic nomination in 2015, adds that Clinton would then appoint Ryan to be veep out of political goodwill. And he would coincidentally retire as a "dead broke" very rich man, rich beyond his widest dreams, to die soon after of "natural causes." Americans can only assume that while busy being a president who can read policy documents longer than one page, she'd stop her endless press tour and figure out how to keep the nation from getting nuked. She can burn the midnight oil instead of reading executive summaries of things she won't be able to recall. Meanwhile, the people who elected Trump will be Resistingâ„¢. |

#7 Yeah, I could have been an NBA star except that I'm not black, or exceptionally tall and am a septuagenarian. |

#6 Larry’s really against corruption in government, yet he’d much rather have Hillary. Thought he had more brains than that. |

#5 Pity when his fantasy fails on step #1. My fantasy: If number 1: If Hillary colluded directly with Russia in selling 20% of US uranium reserves to Russia (probability = 1), she will spend the rest of her unnatural life in prison. |

#2 ...What amazes me is that the Constitution was written so that men with no education (at that time) could understand it. And yet today, men with literally hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of the 'best' education money can buy are somehow unable to comprehend what it does and does not say. Arrogant, self-righteous idiots. Mike |
