Yes, she might have won but she certainly does not have the ability to have dealt with the aftermath.

In one area she would be very able: If she had won, right now she would be well on her way to becoming the wealthiest woman on earth.

So she decided to run as a High Priestess of the Church of the SubGenius, promising everyone Slack!

Hey.. How goes it!?
Yep.. The Middle Class would be doing just fine if not for Leftist policies. We don’t want other people ‘s money.. We want the Freedom to make our own.. And not have it stolen from us.

Every financial transaction tax proposal I've seen falls apart under dynamic analysis. If you have billions of transactions being run by computers to take advantage of price differences of a fraction of a cent they will be eliminated or moved to off shore computers by a one cent transaction tax. So if, as usual, the government budgets and spends based on static analysis they will have to quickly raise the tax to painful levels on transactions that can't be moved like paychecks.

If Hillary would have won I would have quit both of my jobs and worked under the table.

Hillary Clinton almost ran for president on a universal basic income Of all the dingbat ideas the "world's smartest woman" came up with in her otherwise useless life, this is the perhaps the dumbest.
I don't have time tonight to explain why tonight, but I plan to do so tomorrow morning.

With all the leeches in this country, she might have won with this. Probably a number on FR that would have voted for that....

This is why they want to get rid of cash. They want to be able to nick you every time you spend a penny. They can’t do that with cash.
