"Hillary Clinton is going to be the next president."

[Binkie The Clown]

Hillary Clinton is going to be the next president. The US is sharply and nearly irrevocably divided into what will become His and Hers, and Hers, the Democratic voting bloc, is a bit larger. Turn off the TV, join a book club, travel, teach your goldfish new tricks – whatever. Just don't spend the next year and a half pretending that all the campaign coverage is important. It won't be. Entertaining, certainly, and fodder for stand-up comedians, but not important.

1. So the election is no more than an arugment over which way to hang a roll of toilet paper?

I had not thought of it that way.

2. When I saw a tabloid stating Hillary was not going to be president so it means she will be president

3. The money guarantees her the nomination...

...and the Stepford Clown Car on the GOP side guarantees her the presidency.

I'm afraid it's that simple, alas. The Republican candidates are paralyzed by their party doctrine, and our candidate will only have to put in the hours to win.

4. Barring some unimaginable "black swan" event,

I don't see any other outcome as plausible.

5. Uh-huh.

I doubt that there are any real scandals left that we aren't already okay with.

The election's hers to lose.
