Since Benghazi, and the false narrative put out by Obama and Hillary, I have been predicting that Benghazi would be the demise of her run for president, and it is Benghazi that led to uncovering of the emails. I obviously did not know about the secret server and deleted e mails, but it was clear there was a cover up to protect her and Obama from the incompetence that led to four Americans being murdered. Clearly Obama did not want any truth to emerge that his policies led to the dismantling of Libya into a terrorist state, and Hillary did not want the truth of her failure to provide needed security to ever emerge. They almost got away with the cover up, but in the end it is now coming out along with Hillary’s much more extensive cover up of other matters by maintaining the secret server. We are just at the beginning of the unraveling of the Hillary campaign. While she might still run, she cannot win despite the best efforts of the mainstream media to anoint her. She has always been too stiff, too phony, too scripted and now too tired. That news conference about the e mails was so scripted and so stiff as to be a display of why she cannot be a successful candidate. She is not Bill who can charm most everyone. She has a record of total failure as Secretary of State and that record will look even worse as the US policy in the world continues to unravel.  She cannot separate herself from Obama and his gross incompetence on foreign policy. She was the key player in that for four years.

So why does this matter. First, when the Republicans do assume the White House, there will be a massive policy changes in all sorts of areas that will benefit real estate. First and foremost we will have a completely new EPA.  One that does not think it has a mandate to regulate every puddle and creek. Coal will no longer be outlawed, and climate change will be put back to reality of mainly being a natural phenomena that has been happening for millions of years. Costs of development will slowly be reduced as regulations are relaxed and eliminated where they make no sense. The false theory of disparate impact will hopefully go away and we can get back to dealing just with real discrimination and make believe discrimination. Oil will hopefully be allowed to be exported which will restart the growth of fracking and production and add tens of thousands of jobs, and at the same time keep oil prices low. Keystone will be approved, providing more jobs and development opportunities.
