I think historically it will become obvious that letting Billy rape the legal system was the biggest blow to our system since who knows when. All people, all the representatives, had to declare. To draw the line. They didn't. Party Politics first, and so a guy who is a criminal is endorsed. Big mistake. And he buys out of a crime with 750,000. What is this. The Mafia? It's organized crime, all right. So nobody up there cares or has to play by the rules. And if you got big money it doesn't matter. So...... And we got a guy we can't bear to look at and wouldn't want to know, running the country. What would have been the cost of yanking the guy out of there? Nothing. But the cost of endorsing him will not be outgrown for generations. Can't do this crap. Can't explain it to kids and the disenfranchised. They don't care. It's going to bite us.

P.J. O'Rourke recently had a column in the Weekly Standard, where he opined that it's good for the country if Hillary becomes Senator, that means we can keep an eye on her. She won't be able to accomplish much, being a junior senator, and in the minority, she won't get much in the way of committee appointments, and she'll just be one ego among 100. He says it would be better than Juliani becoming Senator, we should leave Juliani Mayor of New York to mortify the New Yorkers, who deserve it.
