(25 posts)Hillary speaks as if she's running because she'll be able to "get things done," but if the republicans hold the congress (50/50% chance or as high as 75% chance), there well-known hatred of her will lead them to drop virtual "atom bombs" on her desk so often than she won't be able to govern effectively (in Obama's case, Biden recently said that the GOP leaders dropped approximately 8 'atom bombs' on their desks), coupled with constant harassment and unwillingness to participate in governing with President.
What in the world makes anyone imagine that HRC can overcome the utter hatred that the Republicans have for her? At best, she will have as little success as Obama has had, and at worst, the republicans may consider her a criminal, pausing not until she is impeached and removed from office. Her only chance of success would be if the Democrats somehow regain the House and Senate --that's the only way she could get things done short of surrendering to the Koch faction and just doing whatever the republicans want her to (at that point, might as well admit that she is already a Republican in policy terms).
