When things go south, expect the Hillary prosecution talk to flare up again

And if not that specifically, something similarly tintalating that will enrage the base with red meat and distract them from the mess at hand.

It was a ploy during the campaign and can be used as a ploy during the administration.

1. Fine, let the FBI and the Republicans proceed. They will find nothing. Then the Democrats can demand

equal scrutiny of Trump's foundation.

2. In a normal world with normal people I'd agree.

That all got thrown out the window.

3. They can demand, but the GOP is in charge for at least the next two years. eom

5. Our audience should be the American people over the next 4 years. I don't care what the Republican

politicians refuse to do with their hypocritical selves.

8. I agree, but that assumes that the audience is really interested in listening.

If, as I expect, Trump cannot deliver on his pledges to bring back jobs in manufacturing, people might pay attention to his failure to realize his other promises as well, but the Democrats still have to contend with gerrymandering and the fact that the GOP controls 30 states.

4. They will prosecute her...it will help keep their rabid followers from turning on them.

Obama should pardon her...not that she did anything wrong mind you, but that takes one of their tools they can use against us away from them.

6. I was just about to start a thread on this idea.

They'll add "Lock her up" to abortion and the other cultural war issues that Rs never seem to deal with after they win elections having run on them.

[Trust Buster]

7. The President has absolutely nothing to pardon her for. That would play right into the Republican's

hands. I strongly disagree.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

9. I agree with you. No reason to pardon a non-crime

That being said, a prolonged Canadian vacation might not be the worst of ideas.

Google Viktor Yanukovych and Yulia Tymoshenko to see how this could possibly play out if things get real bad.
