as of Columbus day, Hillary has a lock on the whitehouse.
most likely she'll win re-election as well.

so what scandals, besides Bill being caught with yet another intern?

If this is the frame of mind that Republicans have during Clinton's Presidency, then we all lose. Nothing significant will be accomplished. Nothing about America's infrastructure. Nothing about managing Social Security and Medicare and Obamacare. Nothing about education or immigration. Nothing about reforming the tax code. Nothing.

Any righties who fantasize about all of the ways they can go after Hillary are essentially admitting that they don't want America to take care of its real problems. Because Hillary isn't the cause of America's problems, and if you insist she is, then YOU'RE the problem.

No Shira, it's our structure of government that is the problem.
There was such tremendous backlash against Bush in 2006, 2008. Obama won riding that wave of hope and change. The American people changed the House, the Senate, and the Presidency all in favor of the Democrats in an effort to punish Republicans for the Bush disaster. Look at how that mandate, one of the strongest in history, was foiled.

We elect leaders, empower their party, and still leave them at the mercy of a minority.
The country is broken, it cannot be governed.

Then do us a favor and get the fuck out. Let the adults clean up the mess and when it's fixed you can come back and throw more shit and we will repeat the cycle.

The "structure of our government" seems to have worked fairly decently for over 200 years. What are the odds that it's our structure of government that suddenly needs to change?

She's untouchable because she's the candidate who Gives Free Things To Black People. Anyone accusing her of impropriety is therefore racist, deplorable etc etc etc. Meanwhile, the urban negroid base will get more and more feral, violent and generally uncontrollable. Cries of Black Lives Matter, Dindu Nuffin, Eba Podah Hep and Who Gon Pay Fo Dis will echo through the cities of America.

Your history of repeated ugly racist remarks has earned you two weeks off. If you at all wish to remain a member of these forums, they must end here and now.

You only got two weeks off for this?

Dude, you seriously need to buy a lottery ticket today.

I won't predict scandals but there will be plenty of distractions. I suspect Trump will remain as a loud and obnoxious thorn in her administration's side, rallying certain elements to obstruct and drive the news cycles.

I also believe the trickle of embarassing emails to continue, and voices of opposition from the left will rise once she defeats the threat of a Trump presidency, not to mention the damage control around some of the more embarassing revelations coming to light.

The big one will be when she takes out Assad and it blows up in a hell of unintended consequences ala Saddam Hussein. I would put the chances of that occurring at 50-50. I am hoping so so hard she doesn't do it.

As far as I am aware Assad has NEVER attacked America. It is beyond my comprehension that we feel that we are authorized to remove any third world nation's government on our own whims. Might does indeed make right.

Seems to work pretty damned well for something that's "broken".
