If you support Clinton (I don’t, nor Trump), another reason to worry about Clinton’s campaign and her possibility of winning is that she offers no vision for the future, but rather consequences: if you don’t vote for me, Trump will win and things will be even worse than if I win!

The same problem that the “Remain” option for Brexit.

Trump offers some vision for the future, even if it’s bullshit (and even many of his supporters know it’s bullshit but will vote for him anyway).

Clinton is a terrible, terrible campaigner with two left feet and a tin ear. So this is not surprising. As always, her biggest enemy is herself.*

*Many if not most of her strange actions and reactions have been caused by the persistent misogyny directed against her and her daughter over the years.

There is a point there. However, in works it’s more the need for narrative parsimony and plain authorial laziness.

But…one can tell the writer of the piece has never lived in a small town. Where I grew up (Lake City, FL, for the curious) about 20-30% of the people married someone they’d known since kindergarten.

So yeah. Happens still in the real world. All the damn time.

Just not in large urban areas where more people move around frequently.

If I’d stayed in that town, might’ve been me too.
