[Bus Insider] Most people think of Navy SEALs as superheroes who work together like a real-life Avengers team.
The SEALs are undeniably remarkable, but for a different reason, says retired four-star Gen. Stanley McChrystal in his book "Team of Teams," co-written with Tantum Collins, David Silverman, and Chris Fussell. McChrystal led the US war in Afghanistan before stepping down in 2010.
"Americans enjoy the exciting, cinematic vision of a squad of muscle-bound Goliath boasting Olympian speed, strength, and precision; a group whose collective success is the inevitable consequence of the individual strengths of its members and the masterful planning of a visionary commander," McChrystal writes, before adding that this is the wrong lens to view them in.
What makes Navy SEALs remarkable, he says, and what their grueling training is meant to ingrain in them, is their intense, selfless teamwork that allows them to process any challenge with near telepathy.
[Breitbart] Monday on NewsMax TV's "The Steve Malzberg Show," former chief of staff to President George H.W. Bush and New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu said Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is "scared stiff," about her challenge on the left from Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), and is in "big trouble," over her plummeting poll numbers.
Sununu said, "She is in big trouble. The numbers are horrible. The direction of the numbers continue to go down. She has not created any semblance of a coherent message. She is desperately buying $1 million or $2 million worth of ads in Iowa and in New Hampshire. She is scared stiff that Bernie has identified a huge anybody-but-Clinton crowd. So the Democratic party is looking around and Joe Biden is probably the most likely alternative horse."
The election has become a fig leaf. Without it, the media will depart and her misdeeds will be laid bare. She is too arrogant and dull to be 'scared stiff.' Biden is a relief valve for the dems.
Hillary needs to run to keep the money coming in. The day she steps back from the race the money stops. At 12 to 20 million a year it's a big deal. I predict that if/when she does step back, we'll see Chelsea make a move -- Congress critter, Lt. Governor, something like that -- so as to keep the money coming in. It's all about the Benjamins...

...don't forget the appeal to the former liberals who left the socialist party, aka RINOs. Trump scares them enough, thinking they'd lose control of the levers of power is enough to give them the excuse to vote for the Plug.

Dr. Steve is on the same wavelength I am= when they lose the power to grant favors they lose the dollars. It's a criminal enterprise. Bernie better have food tasters
