Four Years From Now

Hillary is going to win the 2016 race by a landslide, and it will not be good for us. It will be less awful than if Trump were to win, but we're not going to understand the harm being done to us.

But, that's not the point of this predictive post.

It's going to be a landslide, but not one proportional enough to dissuade the ultra-right of this country from trying again. And again. The GOP in 2020 is going to think that they didn't have a candidate stupid enough, fascist enough, insane enough to win in 2016. They're going to have a pack of rabid dogs running in four years that would make a Louie Gohmert/ Sarah Palin ticket look like Rhodes Scholars. I don't know where they're going to find them, but they will.

Hillary's Pyrrhic Presidency

If Hillary has the DNC locked up, why are all her supporters "punching down" so hard on Bernie? You're making Philly shape up into a real shit-show. Do you want it to look like Chicago, '68? We picked a lousy candidate, and she just killed the deal with Kaine.
Threaten us with President Trump? It looks like it was her choosing.
President Clinton will be a Pyrrhic victory at best. She's going to drastically shrink the party, and there's going to be VERY bad feelings about this for a long, long time.

She should give it up and throw her support to Bernie. It's the only way to save the party.
