Grey Champions and the Election of 2016

Since Hillary only can harken back at the earliest to the 2T she cannot be the GC.  Trump however, has been calling for isolationism, protectionism, and nationalism all of which the US discarded following WW2--and the very things that made the US capable of being the second mover and shaker of the post-war world order.

I hope you're correct, and my brain is cautiously telling me that you will be correct.  The Clintons have always cared about political power more than ideology, though, and I can live with a GC Hillary as long as it's a version of her that pulls her further left.

Quote:As to Andy Jackson, I would counter that the worst thing he ever did was not hanging John C. Calhoun. A regret he expressed himself.

I didn't think I'd find anything else that could compete with the unholy triumvirate of Indian Removal, killing the Bank of the US and starting the spoils system, but you just managed to find it.  Awesome line!
