(12,051 posts)the RW propaganda has worked quite handily since 1980. It ruined whatever chance Hillary had to turn things around; as you say, she would be another placeholder for 4-8 years, and then we would get a ruinous Republican after her. I never could see Hillary even proposing a crash program to prepare for global warming, and she certainly would have never been able to get it through a Pub Congress even if she DID propose it. She would have been blocked in anything she might want to do -- election interference, gerrymandering, etc. -- she wouldn't have been able to get anything passed to correct those things. So, we just would have been 8 more years down the road with worsening global warming (which, of course, would have been the total fault of 16 years of libtards in office!).
It's hard to conceive of this in our present misery, but Trump is so bad, so ham-handed, so cretinous, so illiterate, so ignorant, so narcissistic, that he may singlehandedly do significant damage to the Republican Party. That's our only hope to gain ground in 2016. And I still don't believe we'll have a majority in either chamber!
