Hillary Clinton plays cards. She’s played the gender card, abused-spouse card, the underdog card, the race card, the money card, and probably a few cards that I’m not aware of but that haven’t made the news.
The only card left to play is the assassination card. It’s merely a matter of time before Hillary invokes some kind of comment about John F. Kennedy’s assassination or his brother, Robert’s assassination, or even Dr. Martin Luther King’s assassination.
Is she desperate or shrewd?
Some would say that Hillary has become desperate, but I don’t think so. She’s a vicious, calculating, mate-eating, she-bat from the nether reaches of whatever is lower than the fires of Hell. But she’s not a stupid woman prone to making political mistakes.
The assassination card is either an attempt to bring doubt to the legitimacy of an Obama administration, or an outright invitation, or a challenge for someone to play out the assassination card as real-life drama.
Either way, the politics are obvious. We’ve beefed up Secret Service security. That means more brothers who are willing to take a bullet for me and my cause for truth, justice, and the American way.
I just cannot imagine any self-respecting, pension-gaining white Secret Service agent willing to take a bullet for Hillary.
