As I see it, that's a pretty good reason to elect her. I really don't see any possibility of a day when the GOP decides to act like grown-ups. They must be destroyed. Working with them is only possible when they are so overpowered that they have no other option.

And while there are many reasons why I think another Clinton term would not be the best thing for the country long-term, she is the one who really can win decisively -- in a way that effectively takes almost all power away from the far-right radicals. There are never any perfect solutions in politics.
