Brits, World Watch and Wonder…
The United Kingdom’s (UK) DailyMail called the contest a battle for the “soul” of America. The British themselves had an epic struggle this past summer over Brexit, with UK nationalists voting to leave the European Union (EU) in an unexpected, upset win.
With Barack and Michelle Obama as well as rocker Bruce Springsteen as the draws for her final address in battleground Pennsylvania, Clinton said, “There is a clear choice in this election.” After numerous times that she berated Republicans and pro-Trump supporters as “irredeemable” and a “basket of deplorables,” Clinton called ironically called for unity after the election.
By contrast, Trump said as part of yesterday’s closing argument for American votes, “Do you want America to be ruled by the corrupt political class, or do you want America to be ruled, again, by the people?”
The Daily Mail gave the edge to Clinton, but noted that “her campaign…has been dogged by allegations that she put US secrets at risk by using a secret private email server while at the State Department and the race remains perilously close in a handful of key states.”
Pay-for-play scandals involving the Clinton Foundation and her years as Secretary of State, and reports of ties by her top aide, Huma Abedin to Saudis and radical Muslim groups, along with a host of embarrassing revelations from WikiLeaks, have been among the clouds hovering over Clinton.
Trump teased Clinton by saying that she is only able to draw a crowd when rock stars or other celebrities are at her side.
“We’re going to be ruled by the people, folks. That is going to be the choice. Our failed political establishment has delivered nothing but poverty, nothing but problems, nothing but losses,” he said.
“It’s time to reject the media and political elite that has bled our country dry,” he dramatically said to cries of “Drain the swamp!” from his supporters.
