If Democrats were Republicans.....

In an interview on Nightline, Hillary Clinton said:


If we had the Republican rules, I would already be the nominee.

And as her good buddy James Carville famously says :


If ifs and buts were beer and nuts, we'd have a helluva party.

Let's take this thinking a little further.

If Democrats acted like Republicans:

We would threaten to obliterate Iran.

We would dismiss people of color and treat them as less important than whites.

We would support a gas tax holiday so we could lose more American jobs and put more money in the pockets of oil companies.

We would brag about our love of guns.

We would give George W. Bush authorization to obliterate Iraq.

We would cravenly pander to people whom we secretly despise.

We would care more about the votes of the "white working class" than the votes of the black working class.

We would pretend we were just plain folks even though we were multimillionaires.

We would lie about everything.

These are, after all, things George W. Bush and his Republican cohorts have done and continue to do.

Look closely, everyone. It is also what Hillary has done and is doing.

Perhaps Hillary Clinton should change parties.
