Rogue Maneuvers

Clinton was the last Democrat President. Yes, we disagreed with him at times and some of us think he should have been impeached for lying under oath, but nobody thought that our country was in mortal danger. He was a Democrat and did what Democrats do. When his terms were up, we thought we'd try a Republican. It's the way our country's been since any of us can remember. Business as usual.

It gladdened our hearts to see the old, familiar Bill chalk up a victory - however small in the grand scheme of things - in North Korea. It made us feel nostalgic for the old days when Republicans were Republicans and Democrats were Democrats.

The Clintons are shrewd. They know what’s out there. They know the country has tilted left. They also know that it hasn’t tilted so far as to embrace Obama’s socialist policies. They know the mood of the nation is one of fear and anger.

The Clintons are looking strategically towards the next presidential election cycle when, they feel, they’ll have a renewed chance of capturing the White House. Expect them to run interference from now on. Bill’s successful trip to North Korea was only the first in a series of such high-profile (possibly, rogue) maneuvers.
