Barbra Streisand: Can you imagine how Hillary Clinton would have handled this pandemic?

Hillary Clinton@HillaryClinton·20m
I would have read my damn briefs, Barbra, that's for sure.


Barbra Streisand@BarbraStreisand
Can you imagine how President Hillary Clinton - a Woman with a powerful mind - would have handled this pandemic?

Being a mother and grandmother, she would’ve instinctively taken care of the public health of the people of the United States.

Republican public officials everywhere, and the right-wing rank and file, would have opposed her every step of the way. They're bad enough now with their stupidity and their utter disregard for public health. They'd be much, much worse if Hillary Clinton was the one making recommendations.

The people who are anti-mask now, would have been even more so with Hillary.

BTW the Clinton Foundation has kept 10 million + HIV cases from becoming full blown AIDS
like we couldn't use that skill set now.

And that team would've had it contained within weeks if given the proper resources and opportunities.

But nooooo... instead whiny, incompetent Donald Trump had to ruin it, just like he ruins everything...

But that is water under the bridge. We have to make sure that Joe beats him now or we will have four more years of misery.

And the number of casualties would be lower now. But the requirements of quarantining, wearing masks, etc, would have driven the wingnuts crazy (don't we know) and they would be saying that the virus never got out of control because it wasn't that bad to begin with. She would have never received credit for her good judgment, only blame for creating the inconveniences that kept the virus in check.

Either Donald Trump actively worked to cover up the bounties that Russia was paying the Taliban to murder U.S. soldiers, or Trump didn’t know about it because he failed to read his daily briefing. Either scenario is disturbing and 100% disqualifying.

Barbra Streisand pointed out that if Hillary Clinton were President of the United States right now, none of this would be happening. Hillary then chimed in, destroying Donald Trump in the process. - Palmer Report


That's just plain straight talk.
