Ms. Clinton's campaign is predicated on the notion that it would be a tandem presidency something akin to tandem skydiving with Bill being the jumpmaster. The recent joke is that the twin towers Presidency grown from Bill's selection by the Rhodes scholar committee decades ago that cinched his Governorship in Arkansas will put a HillBilly in the Whitehouse...as globalist or transnationalists in support of the Chinese and Indian economies and unable to get America off the deficit producing oil standard nor halt illegal immigration maybe they are hillbillies of a sort politically speaking.

Transnational corporatism is a natural enough development of post-cold war capitalism taking over in politics from democracy. Democracy is supposed to be by the people, for the people of a nation, while corporatism is by the corporations, for corporate profits with the people as consumer-employee-yes persons. Mussolini developed corporatism as a political theory after giving up on his socialist party membership, and it merges in quite well with authoritarian Chinese socialism as business partners. It takes a global village is a way of saying that national citizenship is meaningless when transnational leadership prevails, or that the United States will be destroyed and a global citizenship will replace it. Neither scenario offers bright prospects for the U.S. electorate's chances of getting their personal and national interests prioritized as Job # 1 for U.S. politicians.

Isolation isn't the alternative to transnationalism...Japan isn't isolated and yet their M.I.T.I. still seeks the advantage of Japanese national interests although Japan is far too corporatist nationally..the non false alternative is a Congress and President that seeks to support economic interest and security policies that will increase the comparative advantages of the U.S.A. directly while keeping good international relations and fair trade policies. New trade agreements should be limited to corporations earning less than 100 million dollars annually in the free trade class, or free trade agreements will simply open up more nations of ingress for transnationalist to move into, exploit workers and produce cheap products to be dumped into the U.S.A. American politicians haven't yet developed a post-cold war trade and national economics policy that directs national independence and no net loss as priorities-instead they go the way of the global village with Americans as sophisticated HillBilly's ruled by more sophisticated transnationalists.
