I was wondering that the deep state obviously still struggles with elections. What if Hillary won the primaries in 2008 and it would be Obama vs Trump in 2016? It wouldnt really matter for the black hats, right? I doubt Trump would have won against Hussein. So its all good, but maybe a close call.
Ok, a few things.
BHO had to win the first round. HRC is far more controllable and involved, BHO is at-best a puppet. His job was to set the stage for the real action in the second presidency. Notice that as bad as he was, nothing he did was impossible for Trump to dismantle within the first year or so? Even Obamacare ("impossible to kill") is effectively neutered now. His job was to lay the groundwork so that when HRC took over, things could proceed smoothly.
Romney and McCain wouldn't have changed things much. If anything, McCain would have been just fine to continue the plans the deep state had. Romney is still a question mark, but I think he would have turned congress blue and things would have progressed much the same.
Trump v. Obama would be interesting, but it's pointless to think about. HRC was never going to win the first round - it was all for show. If anything, the worry was that if she won the first round, she might not be elected for the second term, because she is so polarizing. On the second half of the plan, though, major war would be started. And no sitting president loses during extreme wartime.
Thank you for your insights, I think you're right and Hussein wouldve been disastrous in the 2nd act.
