I don't think she would have been the disaster that many think.  Her opponents just had years and years for ad hominem spin.  Lots of people eventually bought into the spin, started believing it.  This leaves me as disappointed with the believers of the spin as the creators of the spin.

Doesn't mean I wouldn't have been more enthusiastic for Bernie.

Trump is being subjected to even worse ad hominem spin.  The envelope for what is acceptable in the sensationalist, partisan, lying press and punditry is expanding.  Now I'm no fan of Trump.  Lack of people skills alone would make him a failed president, bad dated ideas aside.  Still, the amount of partisan assassination being directed his way is amazing.  I'll generally read any vaguely political reporting as spun.  Lately, my spin-o-meter seems to be broken, spinning so wildly that it can't measure spin.

It's hard to spin stupidity on parade.  I've heard as many negatives about Trump from notable conservatives as I have from progressives or centrists.  Admit it, he's in a class of 1.   He may even fail to finish his Presidency, something I never expected even a month ago.
