Everyone's said everything I was going to say, so all I have to add is that Hillary would have been predictable. She's not very imaginative, she's not very inspiring, but in terms of stability, she would have done it by-the-book all the time. And I think that's the worst one could say about her.
More importantly though, she would've been able to appoint some good SCOTUS justices, and that's what really bothers me.
If Trump destroys the ACA, it's bad, but we can begin to work on getting it back in four years. If he fucks the environment during his term, we can begin to get it back in four years. Etcetera.
But his SCOTUS appointments are going to fuck us for decades to come. Trump is going to look at that and ask himself, "If I appoint this guy, how will it benefit Trump?" So imagine that; at least one, probably two, maybe even three Supreme Court Justices appointed by Donald Trump. A conservative 6-3 or even 7-2 majority.
There's good reason to be scared.
