Whoever gets elected...

...we're screwed.

Both Hillary and Trump are greedy, hateful psychopaths full of contempt for those they see themselves in charge of.

This coming from the National Review is about as believable as coming from the Inquisitor NS. :roll:

However slick, say she wins this November. If she doesn't change her insular and arrogant ways and start listening to the regular people of this country and come up with good solutions to their problems, instead of kissing the collective rear ends of her Wall Street fat cat donors and sitting pretty on her own rich behind like she's Thee Queen, she will fail in 4 years and screw the Dems chances again for years. Why? Because people are getting really angry and they're now embracing populism like never before and personally, I believe she still thinks that's a dirty word judging from her leaked emails.

agreed completely. If she(and notably Kaine) do what I think they're planning, they'll be fine. I look at the hysterical hand-wringing, for instance, over the ACA. Hillary is possibly the IDEAL person to have take that project on. She is a career policy wonk, and will, I suspect, produce a sweeping plan to fix the shortcomings and pay for the fix, too. Once folks see the actual nature of both Clinton and Kaine, most will be quite reassured that we are in good hands. Still, it's always good to remain vigilant, and I've urged my more left-leaning friends to do just that. With Sanders,Warren, Feingold and others running the Senate agenda, as now seems almost a given(conservative estimates are giving the Dems 51 seats), you will have an organized group holding her to high standards. I think a LOT of the made-up scary stuff will dissipate over the next 2 or 3 years. If not, we move on in 2020.

She may want to avoid all of the insults she dealt to small business owners this time around.

those two women may hold the last potential to lead this nation into the 21st century economy without turning the US into a feudal society.

Biff Tannen, the hated character from the movie Back to the Future, was actually modeled after Donald Trump, a real life bully who's never grown up.
