If the Congress of one of its houses are still Republican-controlled after this election Hillary will likely have more issues than Bernie Sanders would, considering the opposition party has made hating her a hobby since the early 1990s and they have been calling her a war criminal for Benghazi and a traitor for the State Department e-mails (none of which I am endorsing as legitimate attacks).

But hell, that's okay because HRC will be more than willing to screw over the left in the name of bipartisanship as she hammers out deals to cut Social Security and other social saftey nets, give Wall Street even more control of our already rigged economy, and consult American heroes like Kissinger before pressuring Congress to go to war with Iran or something.

You know, if she can even beat Trump.
