I am concerned with a less dramatic but more important speculation on what the Republic does after Clinton.

The machinery and tactics employed successfully by political groups tend to have their own inertia, they carry on under their own life force both in the form of those employed (who look for further work) and as modes of behavioral response and tactics.

This road we are going down provides considerable ammunition for further moral assasination on both sides. The machinery for getting the job done is currently well employed and sees great opportunity for itself.

The more they are used in the false "service" of the people the more validated they feel to pursue their work. Like Hessian soldiers in the 19th century, the legions of lawyers and bedroom spies feel they are a rightful part of the American destiny... they are not, they are the pus ooozing from this wound.

The battle we must fight isn't with a single President, but to get rid of this cancer that attacks American tolerance.
