   Old hacks surely went through some hard   
   knocks, if they wanted to do things and   
   go places, but Hillary and Bill seem to think   
   that since a vast right-wing conspiracy   
   wraps itself around them no matter what   
   they do or don't do, they might as well give   
   some ammunition to it, ironically under the   
   cover that said right-wing conspiracy   
   would whip it into a storm of inanity   
   anyway, therefore nullifying the effect of   
   such mischief.   
      
   It is indeed a collusion of left and right,   
   mutually pushing each other off the cliff.   
   One hand washes the other. It helps that   
   Trump voluntarily jumps off the cliff much   
   farther and faster than any lefties could   
   do it to him. He is by nature such an   
   extremist that the lefties don't even need   
   to push.
