The Hill, on opinons not by staff, has atop, "The views expressed by contributors are their own and not the view of The Hill." Atop this stupendous brain fart, I'd post that too.

 They published it. That borders upon intellectual and media malfeasance. Quoting opening paragraphs, readers have the link below, but fully disclaiming, no way in the world Crabgrass agrees with or endorses the outrageous absurdity:

Ready for Round 2: Why we Need Hillary more than ever 

 “But who?”  

The strongest argument against replacing President Joe Biden as the 2024 Democratic nominee is the notion that no suitable successor exists. But there is, and not just a good one but one of the most qualified people ever to run for the office: Hillary Rodham Clinton. 

For what feels like longer than two weeks, we have publicly and endlessly debated about Biden’s candidacy. Democrats have repeatedly called on him to make a decision. It is damaging, divisive and only serves to further improve Donald Trump’s chances. I have ferociously defended Biden in the past and demanded that Democrats fall in line behind our guy, but we need to put the debate to bed. If Biden is to yield the arena, we must consider why Clinton is not just a fitting champion to take up the mantle, but perhaps the mightiest of all. 

Let’s get this out of the way first: Clinton is younger than both Biden and Trump. Given the current furor over age, this is not a trivial fact; energy and stamina are equated with capability. 

The Clintons had two terms where Newt Gingrich was cozy, Ross Perot foretold "a giant sucking sound," and NAFTA got its business friendly worker abhorrent cramdown. The start of a slippry slope, at best, like the push at the start of an olympic bobsled descent.  The Arab Spring stuff, during Obama years. SHAMELESSLY TAKING HIGH SIX FIGURE WALL STREET MONEY INTO HER PERSONAL POCKET, NOT AS CAMPAIGN OR PAC HELP. INTO HER PURSE.

I wonder if that HILL writer-genius has any other ideas to convince me to vote for Donald Trump? For the Trump - Vance give-me-a-break ticket? That 2016 election, faced with a vomit worthy pairing, the Clintons redux or Trump, I went third party. 

I could not stomach "Hillary's turn" via Debbie Wasserman Schultz rigging the DNC against Bernie's fair run for the Presidency too. Schultz and the whole fucking Dem Inner Party rode that Hillary's Turn fated merry-go-round!

All still on the Internet for any forgetful oaf.

From that return list, Vox, and heed the lead image,  [look at that Blankfein smile]!

Politico.

Vox linked to wikileaks. Where you can read all about it. In effect, telling Wall Street that in the interest of the best economy for the nation, nobody knows better how Wall Street should be regulated than Wall Street, itself. Paid well for saying it. As Clintonian as you can get.
