Can\u2019t Anyone Fix This?<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
T<\/span>he legacy mainstream media has a collective brain like dog\u2019s \u2014 it exists in an eternal present, so that whatever\u2019s happening right now is all there is. Thus, Hillary\u2019s performance in the first Democratic debate, being as bad but not worse than her competitors\u2019, means she has a lock on the nomination for president. The better part of a year lies between now and the convention, and time would be on the side of whatever force or figure rises to oppose the woman whose \u201cturn\u201d in power rides a myth of inevitability.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

What perhaps ought to be more alarming is the way that the two major parties are lining up to be a men\u2019s party and a woman\u2019s party, a perfect acting-out of psychological archetypes in a society churning out millions of lost souls year-by-year. The American people apparently want a Daddy to fix all the broken systems and they want a Mommy to reassure them that everything will be all right. Hillary, of course, wants to be both, but her problem is that a lot of voters won\u2019t accept her as either.<\/p>\n

Her record doesn\u2019t suggest she\u2019s much good at fixing anything. That\u2019s why the Benghazi affair is such a good stick to beat on her with. That was a moment when America needed a Daddy with a toilet plunger or a screw gun and all they got were cables from the home office saying everything was going to be all right. Mommy couldn\u2019t save the Ambassador to Libya and three other Americans slaughtered there. The big pretense, of course, is the idea that congress holds hearings \u201cso something like this will never happen again.\u201d<\/p>\n
