Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton will be president of the United States because the American Empire has chosen her, according to Daniel Patrick Welch, an American writer and political analyst.

Welch told Press TV on Monday that Republican candidate Donald Trump is only there to make the entire facade look like a real democracy.

“This election cannot end soon enough. I think that the really important thing to take away from it is that the whole circus is a complete distraction from how power works and how government works in the United States, and in a global system,” the analyst said.

“Donald Trump is a fly, is just a bogeyman to make it easier for people to pretend that they elected this horrific charlatan, this criminal and warmonger in the name and person that is Hillary Clinton,” he stated.

“But you can’t look like a democracy if the person you appoint is despised, and can’t get voted in by a sleeping populace.  So they have this farce,” the commentator added.

On Sunday night, Clinton denounced Trump as a "sore loser" over his refusal to commit to accepting the results of the election next month.

During his final presidential debate with Clinton last week, Trump declared that he might not accept the results of the November 8 presidential poll if there is evidence it was rigged.

"I will look at it at the time. I'm not looking at anything now," Trump said.

Clinton said her opponent’s remarks were more in line with those of dictators in Third World countries.

Welch told Press TV that the reason the US election drags on so long is “because you have to give the people a spectacle.”

“If you have no democracy, if you have no connections between the people and the policies that are approved and instituted by oligarchs, then you have to try all the harder to make it look like that you have a real thing here. So they have this enormous spectacle, which is completely meaningless,” he noted.

The writer said, “Hillary Clinton will be the next president because the oligarchs have chosen her, and the reason they have chosen her is because she follows their script.”

“She’s chomping at the bit to be the kind of vampire’s helper. In the old vampire tradition, vampires needed someone to do their bidding, who could withstand the light of day, who could meet with other humans, and kind of be their interface with the rest of the human race,” he explained.

“And that’s why I think she has been chosen, partly because she is chomping at the bit to implement US foreign policy,” the analyst emphasized.
