GOP plan for a Clinton presidency: Block and resist
Associated Press ^ | Nov 2, 2016 4:58 PM EDT | Erica Werner

Some Republican lawmakers seem to be trying to delegitimize a Hillary Clinton presidency before it’s clear there will be one. They are threatening to block her Supreme Court nominees, investigate her endlessly, or even impeach her.

Perhaps it’s no surprise in an election in which the GOP nominee, Donald Trump, has branded his opponent “Crooked Hillary,” and shouts of “lock her up!” are a staple at his rallies. Few Republicans appear eager to suggest a new era of bipartisan deal-making with a candidate widely seen by GOP voters as untrustworthy.

But the rhetoric is striking because newly elected presidents traditionally enjoy a honeymoon period with Congress and the public.

For Clinton, the honeymoon appears to be over even before it’s clear she will be elected.

“So AP now says it is not clear. Hmm. “

Yeah, that’s new for sure.

However, what’s NOT new is the GOPe pretending to support Trump for President and are now preparing to pretend they would oppose a President Hillary. Apparently, they’ll be “opposing” Hillary like they “opposed” Obama.

Well, they sure aren’t going to change a century of left-wing Uniparty precedent overnight. Barring a miracle, of course.

Yes, that's the issue: trustworthiness. Not criminality or corruption or anything like that.

The Democrat Party is just one collective, corrupt crime syndicate...

The Revolution is ON!

Vote Trump!

“Block & resist, just like they’ve done the last 8 years.”

Right.

They think we have an extremely short memory and/or they think we’re stupid.

Either way it’s insulting.
