Kass: Evil Queen vs. Evil Clown

John Kass writes opinion for the Chicago Tribune, today his topic is the presidential race. Bottom line: he doesn't like any of what he sees.

With only a few weeks left in this ugly presidential race to the bottom, Americans finally have a clear choice:

The Evil Queen vs. The Evil Clown.

Hillary Clinton, the ice queen of the American political establishment, a practiced deceiver who will make Nixon look like an angel before she's through.

She is the darling of the frightened bipartisan elites, and she is protected by their imperial guard, those in the media who ignore her sins to focus on Trump's.

And Donald Trump is the meat-faced barbarian at the establishment gates, swinging his angry rhetorical axe against the arrogant elites, like an Andrew Jackson of our time.

Trump spent years bragging about his sexual prowess, acting like a pig (or Bill Clinton) around women. And now he's so enraged by allegations of sexual aggression that he threatens, like an angry clown, to use the power of the federal government against his enemies.

Both Clinton and Trump are statists. Both believe in using the federal hammer.

So this is where we are now, an uncertain people in a post-constitutional society. The establishment center is corrupt and has been collapsing for years. And the people, tired of their lies, become angry. And now anything goes. 

We've been cursed with interesting times. Hat tip to RealClearPolitics for the link.
