27. ...and THAT's the bottom line

If the Clinton's and the DLC, Third Way Corporatist M$M Cabal pull this off, There will be no need or reason for them to change this kind of behavior. They are looking to win, regardless of the aftermath - they think that can FIX anything.

Next time the Bogyman will be even worse, to make sure you think they are handing you an alternative that is not as evil, but will still push the nation to a corporatocracy.... but just not as fast as the Fascist Party would. They will be pragmatic and do it in increments, so you don't notice as Bill did and Obama has been doing (Yes Obama - Putting Social Security on the Chopping block, TPP- the end of government control of Corporations and the latest, attempting to minimize and sweep under the rug the horror in FLint by taking a sip of water - then probably quietly taking Chelation therapy on the plane back to DC.)
