You just know that if we had been allowed the peoples choice for president

Chaffetz would be inventing ways to investigate her, and would say that we should not be allowing any President under investigation by congress, let alone by the FBI, to nominate a SCOTUS justice.

Ryan would still be hammering away that anyone under investigation for security breaches should not be given sensitive intelligence information.





Her personal finances and her foundation would be undergoing legal cavity searches - despite all that has been done before, with no wrongdoing found.

1. I can deny none of what you say.

[treestar]

2. Yes.

For sure.

[samnsara]

3. yes...they would have been relentless....

4. Wow--excellent point.

Her SCOTUS nominees would be blocked until the FBI had completed its investigation, which would then be followed by another delay while an "independent" special prosecutor completed an investigation of its own.

Naturally, these would drag on through Clinton's entire first term and through all of her second.

5. People don't get or want to hear - we had a bloodless coup

and had Hillary won, the tension and chaos now would be FAR worse.

There WOULD have been hordes of right wingers rolling to DC with "second amendment" displays, and DJT would NOT have conceded. The talk now would be fire breathing ILLEGITIMATE!

The energy these asshats use to defend 45 would have been ramped up on steroids against Hillary, as noted, over complete fabricated bullshit like Benghazi and e-mails.

And, has she won with two more D senators, and tried to seat a SCJ, people would have died.

7. There was much tension and chaos when Obama was elected. A lot of it.

There were hordes of right wingers rolling into DC with their second amendment displays.

And the talk of him being "illegitimate!"

This time however, we would have had certain angry, put out "progressive" politicians carping at our POTUS' every decision, and every nominee for not being "too establishment" for their tastes, and claiming that we didn't win by "enough" white male working class votes.

And that would have been worse, in my estimation, than any undermining by the GOP for the Democratic Party.

6. You make an excellent point.

After all they got away with obstructing Obama, they would have doubled down on Mrs. Clinton. And she already had the misfortune to have had the most abusive opponent in history.
