None.
The only logical conclusion that can be drawn (and granted, I'm not done with the book yet) is Hillary would have been different. There is absolutely nothing, not a jot or tittle, to make any claim at all Hillary would have been 'better'.
Jesus, a Hillary West Wing with Mook and Huma, and all the other cretins, back stabbers, liars, incompetents, toadies, brown nosers, lickspittles and idiots would have been a fucking disaster epic the equal of what Trump is inflicting, just different in it's execution.
Almost has me on my knees thanking God Almighty* the guaranteed disaster for the country regardless of the election outcome is it's the Republicans fault with President Trump and not the Democrats fault with President Hillary. Jesus Fucking Christ.
*and I'm atheist, people
I don't think you are clear at all about how bad trump is.
Go read the book.
I feel like I'm asking you to go eat a shit sandwich garnished with a dead rat with that request. I'll understand if you don't, or if you do and get a few pages in to it and can't read any more of it.
Regardless of the stridency of opinion that maintains Hillary would have been a "good" president, I'd never insist for a supporter of her to read Shattered. Almost wish I hadn't, the 'saving grace' in reading it is the realization that it's for the best she lost. The country was totally and completely fucked either way, at least we can blame the disaster we do have on the Republicans.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
