79. Horrific attacks on her
Mon Jun 19, 2017, 01:47 PM
Jun 2017

The media would cover nothing else.

But we would be much safer. People wouldn't be about to lose their health care. Her nominee for the Supreme Court would be stuck in Congress, but not an R extremist.

I was dreading the evil the Rs would unleash on her when she was elected, dreading having to try to avoid it on TV since I knew the media wouldn't cover anything else. But I would have been a lot happier avoiding that than living in this sick RW insanity the Russians gave us.
