Make no mistake. Hes not above reproach, not by a long shot. He didnt get to be a billionaire by being a good guy. Hes unaccountable for lots of unsavory baggage, what it takes to become a corporate tycoon. Maybe hes not all bad. His anti-establishment sounding rhetoric rattles bipartisan power brokers, especially Wall Street, war-profiteers and other corporate interests wanting no changes from current policies - not even around the edges, the most to be hoped for from a Trump presidency if elected. Giving overwhelming opposition from powerful interests and media scoundrels, its hard imagining him having any chance to succeed Obama. He calls things rigged against him. Americas sordid history of election rigging shows hes right, today with electronic ease and other dirty tricks. Clinton was chosen to succeed Obama last year before campaigning began. Trumps nomination defied predictions. Long knives emerged to stop him straightaway after announcing hed seek the GOP nomination last year. They continue their daily dirty work, especially after he got it. Why? He says things on the stump other aspirants for high political office wouldnt dare, virtually unique in US presidential races. Some comments are outrageous like wanting a wall on Mexicos border and a complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our countrys representatives can figure out what is going on. Others suggest important steps in the right direction if implemented - including a new role for NATO, rapprochement with Russia (the best hope for preventing WW III), perhaps better relations with China, Iran and other independent countries, opposition to TPP and other jobs-destroying trade deals, as well as hopefully less eagerness for war to be Americas top geopolitical strategy of choice. Advocating these type policies even rhetorically mobilizes Americas bipartisan establishment militantly against anyone suggesting them - wanting Trump defeated in November by fair or foul means. Electing Clinton assures continuity on steroids, accelerating Americas war on humanity at home and abroad. If Trump emerged victorious, defying long odds against him, at least theyd be a chance for turning US policy modestly in the right direction. Preventing WW III is the best reason for opposing Clinton. Trump would rather make money from planet earth than destroy it. Stephen Lendman lives in Chicago.
