Hillary Clinton had a roller coaster ride. She graduated from Yale Law School. She is not a stranger to the White House, as her husband Bill Clinton was President of the United States during the 1990s. There was a sexual scandal involving Bill Clinton that became widely known by the public. Note that Mrs. Clinton was a victim. She became a New York senator. Then she was the Secretary of State in the Obama administration. A lot happened, and she worked hard. Did Hillary Clinton have faults? I don't know; I'm the wrong person to ask. Not the most inspiring speaker.

She ran for president. During the 2016 Democratic National Convention the Bernie Sanders supporters became unruly, not helped by e-mails indicating the Democratic National Committee was biased against Bernie Sanders (who is not a Democrat, which always hurts my head). She came out on top, and with Donald Trump as the Republican candidate she was on a path to becoming president. Stop and think about that for a moment.
 
 

It was a rough election period. She referred to supporters of Donald Trump as a basket of deplorables. "She"! (Michael Flynn) sounded unmistakeably misogynistic. Lock her up. all upset about a server for some reason, with the FBI looking into it. Hillary Clinton lost the federal election to Republican candidate Donald Trump. Stop and think about that for a moment.
 
 

Miscellaneous officials, mostly Republican, who followed the rules and did their job during the 2020 election period. There was retired conservative judge Mike Luttig, who provided nation-saving learned advice to Mike Pence at the right time. Dan Quayle, another Vice President from Indiana, had some things to say to Mike Pence. Top Department of Justice officials threatened to resign if Jeffrey Clark was made Attorney General. Mr. Clark ended up being arrested sans pants. The January 6 storming of the Capitol by a malodorous mob was deceptive. There were actually multiple different plots to enable Mr. Trump to stay in power, and the storming was a last ditch effort. I used to say that if I had a choice between sending Mr. Trump to jail or Bill Barr, I would send Bill Barr to jail. But he did make no bones about the fact that Joe Biden won the 2020 election.
 
 

Rudy Giuliani. I'm not going to go over his recent embarrassments, scandals and misdeeds. I'm not comfortable with making fun of someone's makeup mishap. I'm not going over his time as mayor of New York city, 9/11.

But two things:
1. As attorney in the Southern District of New York, Mr. Giuliani sent heads of the five mafia families in New York to jail. That's cool, a word I rarely use. No doubt he did this with the help of many other people, institutions and legal tools. Mob Museum
2. He's a bad man. He's mendacious (i.e. he lies), he became willingly ensnared in Russian schemes to corrupt American democracy, and he has done some low things with women.
 
 

The Conways. This pair are a key inspiration for this list. Mrs. Conway, who persistently did something in the Trump administration, is famous for the iconic "alternative facts". Meanwhile her husband George Conway was a conservative after initially pride
 
 

Russia, Ukraine, United States politicians. I wouldn't know what to do. But they keep on getting tangled up with each other.
 
 

Spooks. Intelligence, police, national security. See above. Just picture the daily briefing early in the administration, where somebody has to tell Mr. Trump to his face that Russians are dealing with people around Mr. Trump. Do you remember when Mr. Trump brought Russian bigwigs into the White House and invited the media Russian media? During that meeting President Trump did give away a sensitive Israeli secret about a spy in ISIS. This was one of a number of hair-raising incidents. There was also an attempted coup in the United States.
 
 

So how about Mr. Trump himself? Eating hamburgers, watching television, tweeting, and engaging in monologues with people? No thanks, not for me. No shortage of shady deals in his history. The Trump family, peculiar relationships? No thanks, not for me. I do wonder how much the kids were shaped by their environment.
 

The virus itself. Points for creativity. Alien, destructive, unfeeling, mechanical. Does not care about partisan perspectives. Biblical. Takes advantage of weaknesses. There was an interesting period when the virus manoeuvred into the White House. Mr. Trump's bout with covid was worse than you think. Chris Christie was taken down so hard I wonder if it made him rethink life. A million people died in the United States. Any thoughts on how it would be presented? Mr. Trump had some novel solutions for the covid virus.
