'Natural born president': Clinton the obvious pick of US corporate elite

American writer and activist Mickey Z. says it seems more obvious each day that the US corporate elite have chosen former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as their next figurehead. The author of Occupy This Book and Occupy These Photos made the remarks in an interview with Press TV on Friday while commenting on a 2012 Clinton email which revealed that US multibillionaire George Soros regretted supporting Barack Obama over the former First Lady in the 2008 Democratic primary. The email was among more than 3,000 emails released by the US State Department on Thursday afternoon from Clinton's time as secretary of state.

"While mainstream observers wonder how the unexpected presence of Donald Trump will impact the race, George Soros' support for Hillary Clinton gives us a strong clue," said Mickey Z. "As we head into 2016 and will finally see actual presidential primaries soon, it seems more obvious each day that America's financial and corporate elites have chosen the former First Lady as their next figurehead," he noted.

"The top 1 percent want a political CEO with a steady hand and a proven record of support for Wall Street. With Trump virtually sabotaging Jeb Bush's campaign and Bernie Sanders busy playing the role of 'man of the people,' their choice seems clear: Hillary Clinton," the analyst pointed out.

"As a result, Soros is cleverly distancing himself from Barack Obama and thus promoting the deception that Clinton's policies will palpably diverge from the current administration. The corporate media, of course, is happily playing along with American voters ready to once again buy into the electoral charade," concluded Mickey Z.

About a dozen Republicans are seeking their party's nomination for president, but Trump continues to lead the crowded GOP field despite making controversial remarks against Mexican immigrants, women and Muslims.

Democrat frontrunner Clinton is competing against only one Democrat and one independent senator, Bernie Sanders, for the Democratic Party's nomination. Only Sanders is considered at all competitive in the early primaries, even as he operates with far less money than the former secretary of state.

Comment: The presidential race frenzy, every four years, is experienced by Americans as a bonafide reassurance that their democracy is alive and well. This couldn't be further from the truth. It is at best a grand dog-and-pony show by real owners of the USA to place their favorite "figurehead" (mouthpiece) in the White House. The three essential stipulations the corporate elite must consider: corruptibility, leverage, and psychopathy. These qualify Clinton as a 'natural born president'.

Clinton will start a nuclear war

If Hillary Clinton is elected, she'll start WWIII including a full-on nuclear weapons holocaust, leading to a nuclear winter.

She hasn't got a

prayers chance, and if elected it will have to be by fraud.

Well, all the other elections in the last 50 years have been frauds, so why should it be any different this time?
Trump can be easily removed/destroyed at the last minute, and she'll be the winner.
The same people that gave us the Bushes, the first Clinton, and Obama still own the media. The American public is easy to fool with simple tricks. Just look at how in 2008 they thought Obama was the second Jesus.

I've been predicting since 2008 that she would be the next president, and I would still bet on that.
The people may prefer Sanders or Trump, but in the end, as always, the people will have little say in the matter.
But I say, let her win. She will oversee the downfall of the American Empire, and I wish her the backlash from that with all my heart.
Besides, it's not like Trump will be able to do any of the things he says he'd do.

Obvious

I agree that Clinton has the required lack of conscience, the ability to lie and deceive, and the necessary requirement to 'do what ever it takes' including getting blood on her hands, to appeal to the elites.

The bombastic buffoon, Trump, on the other hand, is probably more likely to appeal to the masses. That is, if he doesn't put his foot too far down his mouth that he suffocates his chances.

It's really sad that the American political system has come to this. That, there is this illusion of freedom of choice as well as merit (the best person gets the job). That probably hasn't existed since Kennedy got elected. And that was a long time ago.
