A plethora of excuses? Try the current occupant who cannot abide even the most glancing of criticisms without striking back with personal attacks, irrelevancies, and his personal fairy tales.
And as for the words of Hillary coming back with a vengeance, if that wasn't a 'basket of deplorables' marching in Charlottesville, do you have a better description?
Hillary was turned into a target of opportunity a generation ago, a long term strategy of constant abuse that ranged from genuine criticism to vituperative allegations at all levels. Her major 'crime': a lack of charisma, in part due to her personal integrity.
I'm not saying she was perfect, nor do I agree with all her political positions. But she had honest positions in the first place. The current occupant has one principal position. Himself.
Sooner or later Mr. Jenkins you'll have to get off the Hillary express with the rest of the world and address a real topic.
