The Upside of a Hillary Administration
In the lemons-to-lemonade spirit, Ctlaw has offered a post inviting us to ponder what might be amusing about a Trump presidency …
So I figured I’d try the same for Hillary: what would be not-so-bad or even downright good, or at least hilarious about a Hillary presidency?
For the sake of brevity, I’ll get this one out of the way: She’s not Trump and will #Never[be]Trump.
My other suggestion is simply that if Hillary is sworn in, we can stop fussing about The First Female President, and maybe? maybe? Dare I hope? take a step toward evaluating all candidates based on the content of their characters rather than the contents of their abdominal cavities.

I think you’re right. The two I listed were what came to mind as I was typing.
“The Democratic candidate described interactions she has had on the campaign trail where men have told her they never thought they could support a woman for president until she came along. “That’s a big step forward,” she said.
Why am I extremely skeptical that such conversations ever took place? Are there really Democratic men in this D & A who would really say, to a woman’s face, “I never thought I could vote for a woman?” This is Saint Hillary defeating the straw man, a story of faux-bias so she can claim to bring faux-progress.
AKA bulls***.
It could definitely be because you’re an 80’s kid. My children (80s-90s kids) didn’t really get it either. You grew up in a very different world—which by the way is a really cool thing. You were raised with a much more open mind, one which the left for some reason seems hell-bent on closing. It’s disturbing.
But yes—as a 60’s kid, I found Obama’s election miraculous (especially since I knew black people, cops mainly, who didn’t vote for him because they aren’t liberals—that just made it better!) I also, paradoxically, believed that the election of a black American president was inevitable. And I do notice that Bernie is Jewish —another “that’ll never happen” thing that was probably guaranteed to happen eventually…
The attitude of your generation isn’t just fine—it’s exactly what MLK was hoping for. Not just that “the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slaveowners would sit down at the table of brotherhood together” but that none of them would think it was a big deal to do so.
Carry on, my child!
Well, and what is awful to me—since I feel strongly that black lives matter—is that the police reform and prison reform stuff is (I think) a cynical gambit by those who are willing to throw the black men, women and children who live (and die) in the inner cities under the bus rather than honestly address the issues making their lives so nasty, brutal and short.
Onanistic forgiveness…very progressive, really.
The House might get the honor of impeaching not one, but two Clintons…
Just as real as the sniper fire on the tarmac at Tuzla.
It’s not amusing – the thought of it or the actual event – Trump is not that bad.
With both impeachments involving oral sex with a female intern.
Can’t wait to read the salacious headlines about “the infamous blue pantsuit!”
There are rumors . . . which brings me to my contribution: the nation’s first presidential lesbian sex scandal.
I thought that was Eleanor Roosevelt.
[Always happy to contribute to the deterioration of a thread]
Remember Eleanor Roosevelt?
The answer to this version of the old lightbulb joke is, of course:
“That’s not funny.”
OK , you had a link, but I was first.
Is Hillary considered part of the DLC wing of the party?
BTW Im voting for and will be advocating for Hillary if she is facing The Donald in the general.
Oh, yes. She and Huma are tight. So to speak.
No. That’s long dead.
I look forward to microaggressing you.
There is just gossip. Just as the gossip was that Chelsea looked a lot like Webb Hubble, and that she and Vince Foster has a thing going on. Idle minds….

Expect to see more American lives sacrificed to keep her from having to make a decision that could hurt her political career. More scandals. Maybe the first President to pardon themselves.
I love that joke.
Dang! I guess!
Hillary Clinton is not representative of what a successful career woman should be like. Yes, she made it through law school, but her gig as part of the Nixon impeachment team ended in disgrace. The only reason she got her job at the Rose Law firm in Arkansas was because of the man she married – Bill Clinton. Once in the White House as First Lady, she botched the “job” her husband gave her – Hillarycare. Obama was at least skilled enough to move Obamacare through the system (much to our suffering since). I don’t even have to mention her long-standing role as Bill’s womanizing enabler, the most horrific episode being the rape of Kathleen Willey. Fast forward to her use of an unsecure server, and the grave damage (see the definition of “Top Secret”) she has put this country in.
No, Hillary Clinton will use the Presidency to feather her nest even more, at the expense of making this entire country another failed experiment of liberal policies. Eight years of BHO was terrible enough to endure, but I shudder at the thought of this woman as Commander in Chief (if only Carly had stayed in). Her foreign policy will make us all of us as vulnerable as her four Benghazi victims. We may as well start learning to speak Chinese, Russian, or Farsi.
Hillary Clinton would be a disaster as President – unless it’s the President of Cell Block C . . .
Bill apparently told at least one of his lovers, Gennifer Flowers, that Hillary was bisexual.
That makes it more than rumor.
I believe it is established fact that Hillary and Huma have shared a single hotel room many times.
You are confusing lesbianism with Sharia Law. When traveling without a male relative, Huma must remain in the company of another woman.
Oh really we are gonna listen to what Bill told a mistress in regards to his/his wifes sex life? There are plenty of things to focus on in regards to the Clintons. Their supposed sex life shouldn’t be one of them….
I’m guessing that my “This wouldn’t happen if men ran things” t-shirt business will finally take off.
Now all we need is a No Ma’am shirt with Hillary’s face on it.
This is a million-dollar sales opportunity from July-November at least.
