I would laugh over the Repubs running on self destruct, if there was a desirable alternative in the democratic camp. But as it turns out, there isn't. Hilary will just deliver more of the same. No big turnaround, no listening to the actual needs of the population, no change in foreign policy, which, of course, concerns me the most.
The best you can say on her is that she isn't a lose cannon.
No, I don't think there will be a big turnaround myself; I'm no fool.
But when you consider that two or three Supreme Court nominations may open up in the next eight years, the thought of Trump filling those vacancies is awful. And while Hilary does have an odious record in voting for the Iraq invasion, supporting intervention in Syria, and so on, I don't think she'll be prodding China or Russia any time soon, and that's much more comforting than the thought of Trump and his planned provocations.
Sometimes business-as-usual truly is better than change, and I think this is one of those times.
