NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN

Evelyn, I suppose if you have to pick the one with most experience, it would be Hillary. But she represents the old establishment. Based on the numbers that Trump is getting, I believe the American people are done with the same ole same ole. Just look at what happened up here. Canadians chose someone with no experience and really has never worked. People were done with Harper and the old 

Establishment.

"What has been, will be again, what will be done has been done. There is nothing new under the sun."

Ecclesiastes: 1:9

In the debate that raised the trade deal and  bail out for the auto industry, the reference was to a time when Hillary Clinton was in office. Not recently.  

Senator Bernie Sanders accused the Secretary of being dishonest in making the reference. 

He was not accused .A fact was stated. He acknowledged his vote against the Bill that included the bailout for the auto industry 

Because, he explained,  it included bailout for the banks. 

Yet he was the one to accuse. And the young and trusting listening to him believed what he said. 

He's done it before. Repeated reference  to speeches insinuating something improper  is hardly kosher. If he knows something why doesn't he spit it out? 

It's an old political dirty trick. Not fresh or new. It's sly and calculating. Same ole ,same ole.

Unlike the Senator, Hillary Clinton has never accused him of dishonesty but merely reminded him of positions taken and votes cast. 

The races  is Democrat versus Republican.

He is Sanderson, Independent Senator, looking out for himself and devil take the consequences. 

The Bellicose Billionaire,claiming Republican status, has similarly attacked the Democratic candidate. 

More than slight irony dwells in the unwholesome similarities between the Senator and  Bullyboy. 

Whatever may be said about either;  fresh,new approach to government, is not the quality that comes first to mind.

The late Honorable Robert Stanfield was said to be the best Prime Minister Canada never had. 

He succeeded John Diefenbaker as leader of the old traditional Progressive Conservative Party at a time when there was nought to chose between Liberals and Conservatives.

 Lack of choice led to a third political organisation , the New Democratic Party. 

Mr. Stanfield was quoted : 

"If you're  not a socialist when you're young , there's something wrong with your heart. If you're still a socialist when you're  thirty, there's something wrong with your head"

Senator Sanders is seventy-five years old. He has made a career of politics. He is no greenhorn with fresh new ideas. 

Trump and the Senator are brothers under the skin. They are both blatant opportunists. 

Hillary is the one fighting for a New Deal for the people.
