Hillary Clinton really does looks like "a sadistic nurse in a mental hospital" - AND like one of that nurse's most disturbed patients

According to Boris Johnson, "“She’s got dyed blonde hair and pouty lips, and a steely blue stare, like a sadistic nurse in a mental hospital.” Hard to disagree:

Unfortunately, when she tries to present to present herself as an upbeat, good-humoured, fun-lovin', all-American kinda gal, this tends to happen...

So, sadistic nurse, and deranged patient all in one. Pant-wettingly scary vicious nurse with a voice like an enraged crow...

...utterly bonkers hyper-manic patient with a cackle that would shatter a double-glazed window at twenty paces...

Nurse...

Patient...

N...

P...

The Donald or Hillary? How the hell did the most powerful country on the planet end up faced with the worst choice since Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter? If only Ted Cruz had been taller, better-looking and less televangelically oleaginous.

I swear that the BBC's North America editor, Jon Sopel, did a report from the Democratic Convention floor the other night that came across like the sort of over-excited video a pop fan might post on their Facebook feed. It reminded me of the night of Neil Kinnock's disastrous 1992 "We're all right!" Sheffield Rally, when the BBC's political editor, John "Hondootedly" Cole, did a live piece-to-camera from the hall and told the Nine O'Clock News audience that the event - and, in particular, Kinnock's repellent performance - had been a stonking success. Caught up in the glitz and the glamour and the excitement, this normally sober and sensible commentator (okay, he was a bit of a Stalinist, but we all have our faults) shouted, "The atmosphere's just like a pop concert!" It turned out that the British electorate didn't actually want a would-be pop star as prime minister, and the rally was later blamed for helping to keep John Major in No. 10. Similarly, when Sopel - jostling his way through the crowds of happy Democrats on the convention floor last week - assured us that the difference the Democrat and Republican conventions had been "like night and day", I couldn't help reflecting that left-wing TV journalists caught up in the brouhaha of a partisan event tend to get things horribly wrong. 

It might just be time to put some money on a Trump victory. (And I never thought I'd write those words.)
