Do hillary supporters realy think she's gonna have an easier time dealing with congress?

[Bubzer]

I find it odd how hillary supporters say Bernie could never get anything passed through congress, as though Hillary wouldn't be confronted with the exact same congressional makeup...and as a result, the same exact difficulty getting anything done.

I wonder if they even bother to consider this... or if they think she has some secret method of securing success.

1. maybe they know that since she is apart of the status quo

that she'll be able to work with the status quo better than Bernie.

but we understand that the status quo sucks and we'd rather not put up with it.

2. Bernie is more likely to increase voter turn-out

The spin-off from that and Bernie's coat-tails the argument goes could change the make-up of Congress.

Yes those are big ifs.

But I totally agree with your point about Hillary not being able to get anything through Congress - the GOP rabble would hate her as much if not more than Obama...And she would not generate high voter turn-out.

4. Now, give her credit done. She would definitely increase....

republican turnout, it's only the democratic turnout that would be depressed.

6. Exactly. We would have a chance to turn it Blue if Bernie is the nominee

if the superdelegates force Hillary on us, it will remain deep red. Congress will be a sexist towards her as they were racist towards Obama, and they'll spend all four years obstructing, even though they agree with her on most things.

3. Oh, I expect that Hillary would find a few items of success....

where she would have some republican support.

7. The TPP, Keystone XL

and a war with Iran, to name a few.

8. Bingo!

5. She's going to succeed in bringing a flood of cons to the poll to vote against

Her and for trump. If she is the nominee trump is POTUS.

[Kalidurga]

9. She won't be backing as liberal policies as Bernie so...

there is that. Plus, she is a lot more cozy with Republicans. But, OTOH I think they hate her more even if they smile and laugh with her in person. I think they will be more back stabby. Okay it beats the heck out of me who is going to have a harder time. So, I am going to go with voting for the person I want rather than based on what I think they can get past the Republicons.

10. Hillary isn't going to actually DO anything!

She's just going to BE something.

And if her puppetmastersbuddies in the big banks want something done, she will sign off on it, after the bought-and-paid-for Congress sends the bill to her desk.
