She would have been an awful president. Trump isn't very good, but he's much better than HRC.
I'm not with her.
Awful? I don't know about that. Our country's had some awful presidents. I don't think Hillary would have made the list, she'd be consigned to the mediocrity of being a
bad one. We can have corrupt bureaucrats, be entangled in foolish conflicts in bumfuckistan, chip away at our civil liberties, slowly slide into big brother's dystopia, and yet at the end of the day we can still go home after a days work, watch the tube, eat some greaseballs, bump our nasties into one another, and live our daily lives. Not if the country gets
broken. And Hillary's main argument I was receptive to in the campaign was the possibility Trump would break it. Lacking a proven track record, not having the temperament, not being a bland empty suit that scripts every word after reading polls and focus groups, it had that possibility. Then again, I weighed Hillary's track record of blunders and had to look at the chance they could escalate out of control. So I wasn't swayed, but I kept it in mind. Then in the weeks, months and year since Trump's victory, it became readily apparent Trump wasn't about to get us all blown to kingdom come. He's not going to colossally fuck up, and the hysteria was illfounded. So that left me weighing all Hillary's erosions of our democracy against... Trump being a big fat orange meanie who calls his critics by rude nicknames. Boo hoo. Apparently that's enough for IceMage to want him impeached.
