A President Clinton would have made things much worse
The New York Post ^ | May 26, 2018 | Michael Goodwin

To put the roller-coaster presidency of Donald Trump in perspective, it helps on occasion to imagine that Hillary Clinton won the election. My experience is that the exercise leads to greater appreciation of the president we have, warts and all.

Start with Clinton herself. She has spent the last 18 months in a perpetual snit. “No, I’m not over it,” she confessed while turning Yale’s commencement into a self-pity party.

Anyone who has dealt with her knows the “I’m a victim” shtick didn’t start with November of 2016, and would not have ended if she won. She’s been a blamer and finger-pointer her entire public life and would have taken her woe-is-me attitude to the Oval ­Office.

Coupled with her breathtaking sense of entitlement, it is hard to see her presidency lifting the ­nation’s self-confidence, at home or abroad.

In economic terms, how much higher would unemployment be? How about the stock market and median family incomes — how much lower would they be?

Remember, Clinton promised — promised! — to put coal miners out of work. That’s a promise she probably would have kept....

We dodged a bullet on November 8, 2016.

The morning of November 9, I felt like I had a fatal disease that suddenly went into remission.

“Bullet?” More appropriately a “nuclear warhead.”

Hillary’s health was failing. I believe Kaine was meant to carry forward for the Clintonites to continue their hold on power, just as a believe all the Muslim candidates likely represent some of Obama’s Muslim Brotherhood friendly moves to take control of the DNC from the Clintonistas.

I still think Kaine is who’ll they’ll run in 2020.

Since I believe she knew she’d not have long to cement the Clinton legacy as the greatest ever I’ve been very suspicious of all the saber rattling the NORKS have been making as if she and the ChiComs, with Kim in tow, may have come to a agreement to give that bunch something in return for an epic diplomatic win for Hillary (and, of course, a pile of cash under the table to the Clintons).

I think the ChiComs would take, at a minimum, the South China Sea. NK probably went forward with their role to maybe still get what Kim probably desperately needs to survive in power: normal trade relations (”normal” for NK probably means foreign investment to take advantage of local slave labor).

There is no telling what would have been paid to Clinton to sell us out the the Muslims.

At any rate, there would have probably been a lot of accidents and suicides among long time irritants to the Clintons and the Left would be just gobsmacked at the amazing coincidence of it all!

This ex-NYT weasel still has to talk down Trump
even when “defending” him

“Roller-coaster” presidency, Stormy Daniels, “warts and all”?
“running off the rails”

Why not forget about Mme. Bobblehead and just do the right
thing, editorialize for the shutdown of the Mueller nonsense

That is by far one of the most relevant and poignant comments that has been posted. (LOL)

Question for anyone that cares to comment.....

How is Hillary still in the news almost daily when the Dems
need to be getting someone for the next candidate? Hillary
is history as far as a candidate and probably not a real
asset to whomever the next dem candidate will be.

Open borders would be a reality; military secrets would be for sale to the highest bidder

Yep. All of the major “red state” population centers would disappear under a bright flash and mushroom cloud.... Strictly by coincidence of course.

The Clintons and Obama did hells-bells work to make sure NK and Iran both had enough nuclear capabilities to gin up a phony war between the US and the Ruskies.

If Hillary had won she would have signed many Executive Orders to take away the Bill of Rights and our guns.

Cuz you know their slated goal was to rid the world of 7.5 billion people. What better way to get rid of that many puny humans than to strategically target them with nuclear bombs - while Hillary and all her pals are safely ensconced in their posh bunkers?
