Rep. Trey Gowdy is not just another Republican with a weird hairdo. He is a uniter. He is a motivator. He has spurred me to action. Thank you, Rep. Gowdy. You are not a Great American, but you have proved that even jackasses can do some good in America.
I made my first contribution to Hillary Clinton for President today. That asinine colleague of Gowdy who kept asking her whether she spent her night alone is also to be thanked. He made sure that it is a recurring monthly contribution all the way to the election.
I would have done it eventually. But life gets busy and just never got around to it. It took the Great Motivator from SC to give me that extra push.
I admit I was not the most enthusiastic of Hillary supporters. My own politics is a lot closer to Sen. Sanders. I waited to see if Biden would get in the race. I think Hillary Clinton is a talented politician and a great fighter against the Republicans. In fact she is at her best when attacked by her opponents.
But I worry that she makes mistakes of judgement. Unforced errors, like that email server. Or the vote for the Iraq war. She has admitted to those mistakes. It is time to move on. At this point, we need the candidate who has the best chance to win the General Election. And that is Hillary.
The Democrat Party is in bad shape. It looks good only in comparison to the clown show over at the House of Representatives. We have lost 70% of State Houses. Without the Presidency we are nothing. We just can't afford to lose this time.
It is not easy to win a third time in a row in American Presidential Politics. Hillary is our best chance to do it. One reason for that is her very presence drives Republicans crazy. They do the most irrational outrageous things. This is an advantage. The more Trey Gowdy attacks her the more sympathetic she will become. So that even reluctant supporters will rise up and stand with her.
This has become clear to me after seeing how she was attacked by that committee. By standing up to those bullies, Hillary has earned my sympathy and respect. In the coming weeks we will find out that many, many, others were similarly motivated by the Soviet style show trial this week. They expected her to blunder. Instead, she has destroyed them. This may well be the week that Hillary clinched her nomination if not the Presidency.
All thanks to Rep. Trey Gowdy. And his idiot colleagues on the BingeGhazi committee.
