The first question that I would have for Hillary Clinton would be, "How would you deal with the Crisis in Syria?" Now, I believe that the US can only help achieve a balance of power in the Middle East. With all these tribal wars and battles going on, the only thing we can do is NOT let one power or tribe achieve too much power.

I don't believe that Hillary Clinton would have an answer to that question. If the question was flipped around to the United States and if she were asked about the ideological tribalism in the United States and how it is tearing the country apart, I don't think she would have an answer to that question either.

The simple fact is that Hillary Clinton has become too comfortable in power. She has become a career politician. She lives in a neighborhood that is tax exempt in some ways. She constantly has a stream of almost-groupie like admirers who email her congratulations. She has grown fat off politics and she has made money on being a political celebrity. She is, in many ways, gotten all the things that a man would want and more. So she should be judged like a man.

So what are the tough issues that she has taken on and struggled over? Has she made any comments on how she is going to deal with Russian aggression in the Ukraine? Has she considered what Iran may do with the money that it gets from the lifting of the sanctions? Has she thought out the implication of her statement that woman's rights are different from human rights? Has she ever deeply thought about where liberalism is leading?

I don't think that she thought much about these questions. Instead, every time she is criticized, she feels like she is being criticized because she is a woman.

Politicians are almost completely disengaged from the concerns of people. Politicians have become a "class" in themselves. They do not see the real concerns of the working-class, middle-class, and even upper-class.

Their solutions are exceedingly simple. $15 minimum wage, they say. That'll solve the problem. I can understand $15 minimum wage in cities like New York and San Francisco, but a blanket $15 minimum wage is not going to be beneficial to anyone. Entry level jobs do not require a $15 minimum wage. If a flat $15 wage goes through, almost no employer in the retail or fast food field is going to give their employees any wage increases. They are going to make them part-time and they will definitely cut out middle-management which has been happening already.

I am not saying that working-class people do not deserve good wages. Many of them are hardworkers and they get much better wages than $15 a hour. That is fine. I'm talking about entry level jobs to get your feet wet.

Or, on the other side, Donald Trump says make the immigrants pay. But if you really look at America, it's the Dutch and the Jews who have helped New York become a powerful and influencial city. It's the Irish who have helped make Boston an international city. It's the Asians, Jews, and Hippies who have helped make Silicon Valley, New Hollywood, and California great. Also, without the hard work of Chinese and Mexican immigrants, California could not have become such a great state. Black actors are some of the best actors like Denzel Washington. Black singers are wonderful singers. This is what most of the rest of the world wants from America. Curiously enough, it is our entertainers. They want our joy, our jouissance, and our sense of being vibrantly alive.

Our politicans have become our bad "entertainers." I'm not quite sure that the rest of the world wants our "Grade B Entertainment."

Our politicians have given up on the tough issues. It's just better to give them money.
