22. It would have been a different type of hell

Wed May 15, 2019, 02:52 PM

May 2019

Hillary would have been a darn fine POTUS, just as BHO was, but the republicans would be bat shit crazy, the "liberal media" would be blaming her and advancing whatever crazy shit the Rs were screaming about, and someone would have died, literally, had she tried to seat at SCJ.

The executive branch would not be completely dysfunctional and being gutted like it is now.

But, we would not have won the House last fall, Hillary would be getting nothing but impeached by congress and the country would absolutely be indulging republican jackassery, and Trump would very likely end up being POTUS with an actual "mandate" in 2020.

We were at a breaking point one way or another ...
