If
Hillary Had Won
(Allow
me to preface this
bit of fiction by
reminding everyone
that just 77,000
votes in three
states
separated this country
from a President
Clinton and a treasonous
orange weasel.)
Hillary, having narrowly
won the election, would
have had to fight
hard to get nothing
done against a Congress
owned and operated
by treasonous conservative
weasels. She would,
however, have an
effective DOJ trying
to root out the most
unscrupulous of the
bunch. Simultaneously,
the Republican-led House
would be investigating
her for anything
even slightly impeachable.
Meanwhile, Trump
would be heading
Fox News, Jr. which
would be spewing
breathless anti-Hillary
conspiracies into
the electronic miasma as
fast as his minions
could set them to
pixels.
Washington would
remain in “Obama
stasis” as
House Republicans would
continue to sit on
their hands and do
nothing except vote
to eradicate Obamacare
time after freaking
time. Because
nothing is getting
done in Washington
there would be no
Blue Tsunami of 2018
so the House and
Senate would remain
obstinately Red.
Hillary would, however,
add one Supreme Court
Justice, Merrick
Garland. (Justice
Kennedy would still
be on the bench because
he would not face
the extortion
Trump threatened him
with. It’s
possible RBG might
take this opportunity
to retire but her
replacement would
only maintain the
status quo.)
Putin? Oh, him. Hillary,
that “war hawk”,
would be sending
additional military
equipment to Ukraine
and maintaining the
Russian economic sanctions.
Putin would not be
checkmated but he’s
now down a bishop
and the White Queen
has the middle of
the board.
Then COVID-19 would
arrive on our shores.
Hillary’s administration would
meet it head-on from
the moment it hit
the mainland but
it would still enter
the general populace.
Aggressive testing
and treatment would
keep eventual deaths
to a minimum, let’s
say 15,000,
but the GOP would
go freaking ballistic
over each victim
and cudgel the White
House with their
corpses each and
every day on RW media.
Now it’s campaign
season and the economy
is in tatters due
to enforced isolation,
unemployment is high, and
the coronavirus is
still peeking in
from the corners.
Mitt Romney gets
the GOP nomination
and defeats
Hillary using the
same racist playbook
Trump used in 2016.
We now have slightly
a more intelligent
though no less rapacious kleptocrat
in the Oval Office,
aided by a conservative
Congress that’s
sharpening their
knives and ready
to “get down
to business”.
But at least now
we couldn’t
blame her emails.
