We'll Survive
Aug 08, 2016 | By William Kristol
Depressed? We feel your pain. It’s not great to be living through the worst presidential matchup ever. And it's not a cheerful thought that one of these two horrendous candidates is very likely to be our next president.
"Sad!" as Donald Trump would say. "Unworthy of a nation that is on the one hand already great, and that has had really wonderful leadership for the last eight years, but that on the other hand needs to finally address all the very bad problems that somehow haven't been solved over these last eight years," as "change agent" Hillary Clinton would put it.
"Ugh" is how we would put it. It is dispiriting to think of either of these septuagenarians spending the next four years in the White House. Trump has shown he has nary a clue as to how to make America great. Clinton has produced not a whit of evidence that she has ever brought about significant beneficial change.
It is likely to be a rough four years. But we can and will survive.
