Asked this on another thread: why should I be terrified of Hillary Clinton as president? What is she going to do that will make us worse off four years from now? Serious question.
Second question. Why shouldn't I be terrified of Donald Trump?
I thought I answered this on another thread. Hillary isn't terrifying. It'll essentially be a 4 year continuation of Obama with good judicial appointments. Will probably get the senate back but nowhere near in the house, so it'll be 4 more years of nothing getting passed and maybe a govt shutdown or 2. The only difference in terms of foreign policy is she may piss the Saudis and Israel off a bit less than Obama has. But I wouldn't hold out too much hope that the Middle East will calm down much with the Iran/Saudi proxy wars no matter who is president. I just hope she has the sense to keep a low profile except when engaging in foreign affairs. The less she is heard from, the more successful she might be. The other thing is she doesn't scare big business, which is good on the jobs front, so I'd expect unemployment to remain low. Whereas Drumpf and Bernie both scare big business with their threatened trade and tariff wars and immigration positions. I still think she'll probably be a 1 termer unless the Pubs rinse and repeat this election cycle again in 2020. Both parties have some dangerous rifts developing.
