Our Own Gladiators: Hillary and Bill by ten points in Pennsylvania?

Ok. So that's pretty much that. We are bloodthirsty Romans encouraging our gladiators to fight to the death. That's us. The Clintons have taught Americans all the worst things but Democrats want them back. We've seen Hillary lie, attack and undermine her own party. We've watched her acting like someone she's not, snorting down whiskey and telling tales about her days out shootin' with dad. Back in the day, Bill taught everyone forever, including our school children who took it to heart, that oral sex doesn't count as "sexual relations", and taught husbands everywhere that marital fidelity is not important in that regard. Hillary taught women that you don't have to love, you just have to use your husband, hang on to him for political and business purposes, even when he does very weird things in the highest office in the land, and says very strange and damning things out on the stump.

We read books and watch shows like "John Adams", full of self-regard for our ability to admire the high standards of the Founding Fathers, but our votes reveal our regard for profligacy and mean-spiritedness. Who are Americans these days?
