Faulty science made law: Up to 90% of positive US Covid tests should be classified negative and not contagious. PCR test caused massively damaging government policies, CDC says will examine use of tests ‘for policy decisions’-NY Times, 8/29/20

Most of these people are not likely to be contagious.…
The most widely used diagnostic test for the new coronavirus, called a PCR test, provides a simple yes-no answer to the question of whether a patient is infected….
In three sets of testing data that include cycle thresholds, compiled by officials in Massachusetts, New York and Nevada, up to 90 percent of people testing positive carried barely any virus, a review by The Times found….
“We’ve been using one type of data for everything, and that is just plus or minus — that’s all,” Dr. Mina said. “We’re using that for clinical diagnostics, for public health, for policy decision-making.”…
The Food and Drug Administration said in an emailed statement that it does not specify the cycle threshold ranges used to determine who is positive, and that “commercial manufacturers and laboratories set their own.”
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said it is examining the use of cycle threshold measures “for policy decisions.” The agency said it would need to collaborate with the F.D.A. and with device manufacturers to ensure the measures “can be used properly and with assurance that we know what they mean.”
The C.D.C.’s own calculations suggest that it is extremely difficult to detect any live virus in a sample above a threshold of 33 cycles.
Officials at some state labs said the C.D.C. had not asked them to note threshold values or to share them with contact-tracing organizations.
For example, North Carolina’s state lab uses the Thermo Fisher coronavirus test, which automatically classifies results based on a cutoff of 37 cycles. A spokeswoman for the lab said testers did not have access to the precise numbers….
“It’s just kind of mind-blowing to me that people are not recording the C.T. values from all these tests—that they’re just returning a positive or a negative,” said Angela Rasmussen, a virologist at Columbia University in New York….
Officials at the Wadsworth Center, New York’s state lab, have access to C.T. values from tests they have processed, and analyzed their numbers at The Times’s request. In July, the lab identified 794 positive tests, based on a threshold of 40 cycles.
With a cutoff of 35, about half of those tests would no longer qualify as positive. About 70 percent would no longer be judged positive if the cycles were limited to 30.
In Massachusetts, from 85 to 90 percent of people who tested positive in July with a cycle threshold of 40 would have been deemed negative if the threshold were 30 cycles, Dr. Mina said.
“I would say that none of those people should be contact-traced, not one,” he said.
Other experts informed of these numbers were stunned.
“I’m really shocked that it could be that high — the proportion of people with high C.T. value results,” said Dr. Ashish Jha, director of the Harvard Global Health Institute. “Boy, does it really change the way we need to be thinking about testing.”…
The number of people with positive results who aren’t infectious is particularly concerning, said Scott Becker, executive director of the Association of Public Health Laboratories. “That worries me a lot, just because it’s so high,” he said….
The F.D.A. noted that people may have a low viral load when they are newly infected. A test with less sensitivity would miss these infections.
But that problem is easily solved, Dr. Mina said: “Test them again, six hours later or 15 hours later or whatever,” he said. A rapid test would find these patients quickly, even if it were less sensitive, because their viral loads would quickly rise….
Dr. Mina and other researchers are questioning the use of PCR tests as a frontline diagnostic tool.
People infected with the virus are most infectious from a day or two before symptoms appear till about five days after….
Highly sensitive PCR tests seemed like the best option for tracking the coronavirus at the start of the pandemic.”…

Democrats have kept the Permanent State including military and intelligence agencies on their side throughout Trump’s presidency. Fatal flaw of US democracy is monopoly of political discourse by two-party system that answers only to Davos-Diana Johnstone, 8/28/20
.
8/28/20, “ELECTION 2020: Bourgeois Democracy Meets Global Governance," Diana Johnstone in Paris, Consortium News
“Diana Johnstone considers the fun and games surrounding the possibility of a disputed U.S. election result and concludes that the future is being planned elsewhere, for instance at the next meeting in Davos.”…
“Democrats know that they have managed to keep the Permanent State, including the military and intelligence agencies,on their side throughout Trump’s presidency.…
A small number of very rich men are quite sure they know what is best for the future of the world and have enough wealth and influence to believe they can make it happen. They can be called oligarchs, but the term is inadequate. They are a special category, the shapers of the Global Governance destined to replace bourgeois democracy. I can name two: one who is famous, notorious even, but very old, and another who is a generation younger, not yet so well known or so rich but probably even more influential.
The Global Governors
The old one is of course George Soros, [Jared's buddy] who needs no introduction. He has no doubt that the world should be one big Open Society — in a word, globalization — in which borders and nation states dissolve into a kaleidoscopic mix of cultural identities in which major decisions are taken by brilliant financial oligarchs like himself.
The younger one is Nicolas Berggruen, the dashing 59-year-old Paris-born son of a leading art collector. Berggruen enjoys double U.S.-German citizenship and membership in the Council on Foreign Relations, the NYU Commission on Global Citizenship, the Brookings International Advisory Council, the Leadership Council at Harvard’s Kennedy School Center for Public Leadership, the World Economic Forum– and on and on. He helped get Emmanuel Macron elected president of France and has friendly relations with Ursula von der Leyen, head of the European Union Commission….
Donald Trump can only be an intolerable glitch in the screen. This must be corrected in 2020….
Meanwhile, Americans can listen to the extravagant rhetoric of the two enemy camps, calling on them to choose between “authoritarian white supremacy” and “radical Marxist socialism” while offering absolutely nothing in terms of coherent public policy of benefit to the American people and the world. The politicians cling to ineffective office, while the future is being planned elsewhere.
Policy will be designed by the Global Governors, for instance at the next meeting in Davos of the World Economic Forum which, according to its founder and chairman Klaus Schwab, will lay out the “Great Reset” agenda for the Fourth Industrial Revolution that is destined to reshape all our lives. Nicolas Berggruen will be there with his ideas. So will other billionaires. [For example, Masks4All is a Davos lobby]
They will not be “conspiring,” but rather laying plans for what they consider best for the world. There is no political system enabling us to influence or even fully understand the projects they will sponsor. Surely these projects deserve to be sharply debated. But the politicians supposedly representing us are somewhere else, fighting furiously with each other over contrived issues.
The Electoral College is not the most fatal flaw in American democracy. Rather, it’s the monopoly of political discourse by a two-party system fueled essentially by personal ambition, taking its cues from lobbies, the military industrial complex, Wall Street and the Global Governors.”

Added: Convicted felon Soros is buddies with De Facto US President Jared Kushner. Jared’s business accepted a $250 million line of credit from Soros in 2015:
May 3, 2017, “Kushner’s Partners Include Goldman And Soros–WSJ,” Dow Jones Newswires, by Jean Eaglesham, Juliet Chung, Lisa Schwartz
“Investments show ties to Goldman Sachs and George Soros, as well as a number of loans."
“Kushner has personally guaranteed $300 million in loans. Deutsche Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland are among entities to which he has personal guarantees....
“Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law and senior adviser, is currently in business with Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and billionaires George Soros and Peter Thiel, according to people familiar with the matter and securities filings.
The previously undisclosed business relationships with titans of the financial and technology worlds are through a real-estate tech startup called Cadre that Mr. Kushner cofounded and currently partly owns.
Goldman and Messrs. Soros and Thiel, as well as other billionaires’ firms, also have stakes in the company, which is based in a Manhattan building owned by the Kushner family’s company, according to people close to Cadre.
The Cadre stake is one of many interests–and ties to large financial institutions–that Mr. Kushner didn’t identify on his government financial-disclosure form, according to a Wall Street Journal review of securities and other filings. Others include loans totaling at least $1 billion, from more than 20 lenders, to properties and companies part-owned by Mr. Kushner, the Journal found. He has also provided personal guarantees on more than $300 million of the debt, according to the analysis.
In his disclosure form filed earlier this year, Mr. Kushner didn’t identify Cadre as among his hundreds of assets. The Journal identified his Cadre stake through a review of securities and other filings as well as interviews with people familiar with the company and Mr. Kushner’s finances….
Mr. Kushner co-founded Cadre in 2014 with his brother, Joshua Kushner, and Ryan Williams, a 29-year-old friend and former employee of Kushner Cos., the family-controlled business that Mr. Kushner ran until recently. Cadre markets properties to prospective investors, who can put their money into specific buildings or into an investment fund run by Cadre, which collects fees on each deal.
To get off the ground, Cadre turned to a Goldman Sachs fund and a number of high-profile investors. Among them were the venture-capital firms of Mr. Thiel, Silicon Valley’s most prominent supporter of the GOP president, and Vinod Khosla, a co-founder of Sun Microsystems Inc., according to Cadre’s website. Personal backers include Chinese entrepreneur David Yu, co-founder with Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.’s Jack Ma of a Shanghai-based private-equity firm, hedge-fund manager Daniel Och and real-estate magnate Barry Sternlicht, people close to Cadre said.
Cadre also secured a $250 million line of credit from the family office of Mr. Soros, a top Democratic donor who Mr. Trump criticized during his presidential campaign, the people close to the company said. Mr. Soros’s family office is also an investor in Cadre.
The investors declined or didn’t respond to requests for public comment on their backing of Cadre, but a person familiar with Mr. Soros’s family office said it had invested in early 2015 before Mr. Trump declared his presidential candidacy.
Cadre has solicited money from investors for several Kushner Cos. real-estate projects, according to information sent to prospective investors and reviewed by the Journal. Jared Kushner personally has stakes in some of the real-estate projects for which Cadre has raised money, according to Cadre documents and his disclosure form.
While Mr. Williams acts as the public face of Cadre, Mr. Kushner remains one of the owners, with the power to “influence the [firm’s] management or policies," according to the latest public information on file with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. Mr. Kushner’s company JCK Cadre LLC is shown as owning 25% to 50% of Quadro Partners Inc., which owns at least 75% of RealCadre LLC, which does business as Cadre. Mr. Kushner has reduced his ownership stake to less than 25%, his lawyer Ms. Gorelick said.
Mr. Williams, chief executive of Cadre, said the company has been working with regulators to update its public filings to “reflect Jared’s nonoperational, nonmanagement relationship with the company, which has been in place since the inauguration.”
BFPS Ventures, the company that Mr. Kushner’s lawyer said holds his Cadre stake, is shown on his financial-disclosure form as owning unspecified New York real estate valued at more than $50 million. The form adds that “the conflicting assets of this interest have been divested.”
Beyond Cadre, some of the assets Mr. Kushner is holding on to are hard to pinpoint, partly because they are housed in entities with generic names such as “KC Dumbo Office,” according to the disclosure form.
The Journal matched many of the assets to specific real-estate investments. An analysis of the debts on those properties, using real-estate data services PropertyShark and Trepp LLC as well as property records, found ties to a broad swath of U.S. and foreign banks, private-equity firms, real-estate companies and government-owned lenders.
Lenders to Mr. Kushner, either directly or via properties he co-owns, include Bank of America Corp., Blackstone Group LP, Citigroup Inc., UBS Group AG, Deutsche Bank AG and Royal Bank of Scotland Group PLC. Royal Bank of Scotland didn’t respond to requests for comment; representatives of the other firms declined to comment.
Mr. Kushner will recuse himself from matters to which Deutsche Bank or RBS are parties because he has provided personal guarantees on their loans, said a person familiar with his ethics arrangement.”

Convicted felon Soros is also an investor in Jared’s business. Trump himself accepted a $160 million loan from Soros in 2004 to help build his Chicago hotel. Trump adores Soros, won’t listen to a bad word about him, “even once encouraged conservatives to lay off the billionaire. “Oh, forget Soros, leave him alone, he’s got enough problems,” Trump said at a 2011 Tea Party rally when one attendee yelled the billionaire’s name at him. “He goes, ‘What about Soros!’” Trump continued. “Let’s talk about somebody else.”" The point is that if Trump wins in 2020 you’ll be getting Ivanka’s husband---who has made it clear that he despises Trump’s 2016 voters: “No one has more contempt for Trump’s voters than Kushner does, and no one expresses it more frequently.” That’s fine with Trump who calls Kushner “my star.” Trump has never hidden the fact that his main agenda is delivering the world to his beloved Ivanka.

“From the monologue on Monday night’s edition of Carlson’s FOX News show:
“What Americans want most is an end to this chaos. They want their cities to be saved. They want this to stop, immediately. If the president doesn’t stop it, he will lose in November. The left will blame him for the atrocities they encouraged. Many voters will agree. Donald Trump is the president. Presidents save countries. That’s why we hire them.
Some key advisors around Trump don’t seem to understand the gravity of this. “No matter what happens, they’ll tell you, “our voters aren’t going anywhere. The trailer parks are rock solid. What choice do they have? They’ve got vote for us.”
Jared Kushner, for one, has made that point out loud. No one has more contempt for Trump’s voters than Kushner does, and no one expresses it more frequently.””…

June 8, 2020, “Trump calls Jared Kushner ‘my star’ after the adviser announces he’s working with law enforcement to ‘fix’ policing," Business Insider via MSN, Eliza Relman
“President Donald Trump referred to Jared Kushner, his son-in-law and senior White House adviser, as “my star” during a Monday White House roundtable with law enforcement.
During the event, Kushner praised law-enforcement officials, several of whom were invited to the event, for embracing reform and “coming together to fix” policing after hearing the “cries from the community.”
He added, “Hopefully at this time where there’s a lot of people in the country who are feeling different pain and feeling different concerns, law enforcement can be a leader in coming together and helping us work towards bringing solutions that could bring this country forward.”
Trump then thanked Kushner and called him “my star.”
The president has given Kushner and his daughter Ivanka Trump enormous power in his inner circle, and Kushner has helped lead the administration’s efforts on critical issues, like the Middle East peace plan, criminal-justice reform, and the response to the coronavirus pandemic….
During the White House roundtable on Monday, Trump announced that he doesn’t support defunding or dismantling police departments, as some progressives are calling for, and claimed “99%” of law-enforcement officers are “great people.”…
Attorney General William Barr recently said he didn’t believe there was systemic racism in the nation’s law-enforcement system and similarly blamed the pattern of [so-called] racist killings and police brutality on individuals.”…
Comment: Trump was never with us. He would've been the only one. Now it’s just a matter of running out the clock:
“Trump is the dam holding back the floodwaters of total chaos that are bubbling over in the United States. When he is gone, no one with any meaningful power will lift a finger to stop the establishment’s inevitable purge of conservative, nationalistic and patriotic Americans. The great gulf that has begun to divide the country will soon be beyond repair. This administration is likely the United States’ last chance to fix its systemic issues before real calamity sets in.
Many don’t wish to acknowledge this. They don’t want to accept the very real danger represented by corrupt and incompetent establishment figures still active in the administration, and their stagnation in the face of a resurgent far Left. There is more interest in maintaining the excitement of a nonstop pep rally than acting to secure the country.
Trump’s personality and desire to be liked by demographics who will never accept him are preventing his supporters from realizing their potential and achieving anything that will have a lasting effect.”…9/28/2018, “Trump Isn’t Going To Save The United States,” William Craddick, Disobedient Media

Comment: The dam has burst with their hatred of us. They now openly praise and justify violence. At minimum, they don't object to it. This is government approved genocide against non-violent Americans. We must free ourselves. It’s past time for the US to be broken up into a few parts.

BFPS Ventures, the company that Mr. Kushner’s lawyer said holds his Cadre stake, is shown on his financial-disclosure form as owning unspecified New York real estate valued at more than $50 million. The form adds that “the conflicting assets of this interest have been divested.”
Beyond Cadre, some of the assets Mr. Kushner is holding on to are hard to pinpoint, partly because they are housed in entities with generic names such as “KC Dumbo Office,” according to the disclosure form.
The Journal matched many of the assets to specific real-estate investments. An analysis of the debts on those properties, using real-estate data services PropertyShark and Trepp LLC as well as property records, found ties to a broad swath of U.S. and foreign banks, private-equity firms, real-estate companies and government-owned lenders.
Lenders to Mr. Kushner, either directly or via properties he co-owns, include Bank of America Corp., Blackstone Group LP, Citigroup Inc., UBS Group AG, Deutsche Bank AG and Royal Bank of Scotland Group PLC. Royal Bank of Scotland didn’t respond to requests for comment; representatives of the other firms declined to comment.
Mr. Kushner will recuse himself from matters to which Deutsche Bank or RBS are parties because he has provided personal guarantees on their loans, said a person familiar with his ethics arrangement.”

Convicted felon Soros is also an investor in Jared’s business. Trump himself accepted a $160 million loan from Soros in 2004 to help build his Chicago hotel. Trump adores Soros, won’t listen to a bad word about him, “even once encouraged conservatives to lay off the billionaire. “Oh, forget Soros, leave him alone, he’s got enough problems,” Trump said at a 2011 Tea Party rally when one attendee yelled the billionaire’s name at him. “He goes, ‘What about Soros!’” Trump continued. “Let’s talk about somebody else.”" The point is that if Trump wins in 2020 you’ll be getting Ivanka’s husband---who has made it clear that he despises Trump’s 2016 voters: “No one has more contempt for Trump’s voters than Kushner does, and no one expresses it more frequently.” That’s fine with Trump who calls Kushner “my star.” Trump has never hidden the fact that his main agenda is delivering the world to his beloved Ivanka.

“From the monologue on Monday night’s edition of Carlson’s FOX News show: “What Americans want most is an end to this chaos. They want their cities to be saved. They want this to stop, immediately. If the president doesn’t stop it, he will lose in November. The left will blame him for the atrocities they encouraged. Many voters will agree. Donald Trump is the president. Presidents save countries. That’s why we hire them.
Some key advisors around Trump don’t seem to understand the gravity of this. “No matter what happens, they’ll tell you, “our voters aren’t going anywhere. The trailer parks are rock solid. What choice do they have? They’ve got vote for us.”
Jared Kushner, for one, has made that point out loud. No one has more contempt for Trump’s voters than Kushner does, and no one expresses it more frequently.””…

June 8, 2020, “Trump calls Jared Kushner ‘my star’ after the adviser announces he’s working with law enforcement to ‘fix’ policing," Business Insider via MSN, Eliza Relman
“President Donald Trump referred to Jared Kushner, his son-in-law and senior White House adviser, as “my star” during a Monday White House roundtable with law enforcement.
During the event, Kushner praised law-enforcement officials, several of whom were invited to the event, for embracing reform and “coming together to fix” policing after hearing the “cries from the community.”
He added, “Hopefully at this time where there’s a lot of people in the country who are feeling different pain and feeling different concerns, law enforcement can be a leader in coming together and helping us work towards bringing solutions that could bring this country forward.”
Trump then thanked Kushner and called him “my star.”
The president has given Kushner and his daughter Ivanka Trump enormous power in his inner circle, and Kushner has helped lead the administration’s efforts on critical issues, like the Middle East peace plan, criminal-justice reform, and the response to the coronavirus pandemic….
During the White House roundtable on Monday, Trump announced that he doesn’t support defunding or dismantling police departments, as some progressives are calling for, and claimed “99%” of law-enforcement officers are “great people.”…
Attorney General William Barr recently said he didn’t believe there was systemic racism in the nation’s law-enforcement system and similarly blamed the pattern of [so-called] racist killings and police brutality on individuals.”…
Comment: Trump was never with us. He would've been the only one. Now it’s just a matter of running out the clock:
“Trump is the dam holding back the floodwaters of total chaos that are bubbling over in the United States. When he is gone, no one with any meaningful power will lift a finger to stop the establishment’s inevitable purge of conservative, nationalistic and patriotic Americans. The great gulf that has begun to divide the country will soon be beyond repair. This administration is likely the United States’ last chance to fix its systemic issues before real calamity sets in.
Many don’t wish to acknowledge this. They don’t want to accept the very real danger represented by corrupt and incompetent establishment figures still active in the administration, and their stagnation in the face of a resurgent far Left. There is more interest in maintaining the excitement of a nonstop pep rally than acting to secure the country.
Trump’s personality and desire to be liked by demographics who will never accept him are preventing his supporters from realizing their potential and achieving anything that will have a lasting effect.”…9/28/2018, “Trump Isn’t Going To Save The United States,” William Craddick, Disobedient Media

Comment: The dam has burst with their hatred of us. They now openly praise and justify violence. At minimum, they don't object to it. This is government approved genocide against non-violent Americans. We must free ourselves. It’s past time for the US to be broken up into a few parts.

US continues to be hampered by fake Republican Party exemplified by Professional "Republican" parasite who suggested GOP throw support to Hillary in 2016, pledge to work with her-Daily Caller senior writer, Jamie Weinstein, 8/8/2016
.
Article published 8/8/2016:
Aug. 8, 2016, “The Case For A Negotiated Republican Surrender To Hillary,” Jamie Weinstein, Senior Writer, Daily Caller
“It’s time for Republican leaders to consider a negotiated endorsement of Hillary Clinton.”…
[Ed. note: “Republican leaders?” None exist. You're not a leader unless you have followers. Those you call “leaders” were massively rejected by the 2016 Republican electorate. The fact that you ignore this exemplifies why you got Trump].
(continuing): “Barring a Wikileaks revelation showing Clinton to be a secret member of ISIS, she seems to be on a glide path to the White House. Instead of Donald Trump attempting to expand his base since securing the Republican nomination, he is politically self-immolating on a national stage. Trump apologists keep saying he will soon change course. But the only way for Trump to change course is to change who he is. That’s not going to happen.
Meanwhile, Trump keeps humiliating the Republican bigwigs who reluctantly endorsed him, be it by attacking the parents of a fallen U.S. soldier or refusing to immediately reciprocate their endorsements of him.”…
[Ed. note: “Republican bigwigs?” Again, none exist. Unless you mean the no-talent jerks who were defeated in the 2016 primaries by an outsider.]
(continuing): “Why do Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell and other Republicans continue to allow Trump to sap their dignity, especially as it becomes increasingly clear he is going to lose? And even if he did win, what would there be to celebrate? Trump stands against so much of what conservatives have been fighting for [and making zero headway] since Ronald Reagan.
So what to do? The New Yorker’s Ryan Lizza recently posed an interesting question on Twitter. [dcquiz] “What if Hillary offered Republicans one SCOTUS pick? Would that open the floodgates for skeptical Republicans to rescind support for Trump,” he asked.
Why not go one step further? Given that Trump is on track to lose and given that his presidency might very well be worse for the country and conservatism than Hillary’s anyway, why don’t Republican lawmakers band together and see if they can come to some sort of deal with Hillary?
More precisely, top Republican and conservative leaders should band together and offer Hillary a deal to rescind their endorsements of Trump and endorse her in exchange for some policy concessions.
What would a possible deal look like, you ask?
In exchange for an endorsement, Hillary might promise Republicans the right to choose whom she nominates to fill Antonin Scalia’s seat on the Supreme Court. She should also be pushed to agree to some entitlement reform, perhaps in the form of Simpson-Bowles (not the best fix to our entitlement crisis, but better than anything Republicans can hope for when even the Republican presidential nominee rejects the need for entitlement reform). Maybe Republicans could even get her to commit to putting together a bi-partisan (or non-partisan) national security team to include widely respected figures like former Secretary of Defense Bob Gates and retired Gen. James Mattis.”…
[Ed. note: “Widely respected?” It's past time for the US to break into a few parts. We don't exist to elites except as unwashed slaves to pay the bills].
(continuing): “In addition to a public endorsement, the Republican legislators might agree to do everything they can to push through a Gang of Eight-style immigration bill if Hillary is elected.They might also promise to do their best to get her an up-or-down vote on any Supreme Court nominations she makes during her first term. If she demands it, they even agree to help her achieve a federal minimum wage increase.
This wouldn’t be a bad deal. In fact, it would be a pretty damn good deal given where the Republican Party finds itself.
Ideally, the Republican delegation would include a wide range of respected Republicans and conservatives from both the establishment and anti-establishment, but for it to matter to Hillary, it must also definitely include Republican congressional leaders like House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (and as many other members of Congress as possible) who would actually be in a position of fulfill the commitments of a deal.”…
[Ed. note: “Respected Republicans and conservatives?” Again, none exist].
(continuing): “The real question isn’t whether such a deal would be good for Republicans given their current circumstances, but why Hillary Clinton would even contemplate such a deal at this point? Every day, Trump seems to do something new to ensure he will lose in a landslide, and possibly take the Republican Senate and House with him. As the National Review’s Jonah Goldberg recently observed, he is not so much running a national campaign as a national speaking tour.
Given all this, Hillary might say, “no dice. I am on track to win this election with possibly a Democratic Senate and even a Democratic House. I don’t need to come to any accommodation. Thanks, but no thanks.”
But there are a couple reasons why Clinton might be inclined to come to an agreement. For starters, while Trump looks like he is tanking, you can never be so sure. A deal would make it more likely Hillary wins the White House, something she cares more about than any policy initiative.
Beyond that, a deal could be good for Hillary’s presidential legacy. If she can enlist Republican support in achieving some of her big policy goals before she is even sworn in, why not take it? Even the entitlement reform plank is something deep down she must know is necessary. History would remember her fondly for breaking from party orthodoxy to achieve something important for the country.
No matter who wins in November, conservatives have very little to look forward to politically over the next four years. A deal like this, fanciful as it may appear, would temper the pain.”
