The only thing that is going to stop Hillary Clinton from becoming the next president of the USA, is her health, and that is unlikely to change much between now and the start of 2017. However, I am indeed glad that she will have this kind of competition, it will influence not only the dialog now, but possibly even the aims of her presidency!
Heck, she could do worse than to select a former opponent such as Bernie Sanders as a running mate for the vice presidency. The only decent thing that Dick Cheney did was to show that an active vice president can actually have a real influence on a presidency. So, her selection for that important post is going to be one of the most important of her entire career!
I have what I personally think is a reasonable idea for the federal government, but I know I will be castigated for it by both political spectrums here (especially the ultra conservatives as usual). I would like to see Hillarie’s so called coat tails pull in a totally Democrat federal government for the four years from 2017 to 2020. And then, if most Americans feel that they are better off with a highly progressive federal government, Then that government can be re-elected again, and again until most American feel negative. At that point, perhaps a total change over to a highly conservative federal government would be in order. If that then also fails, then perhaps a total revolution at the ballot box on both political parties and extremes by the greater and more moderate middle?
I know that many here would then say this would be a disaster, but I at least have enough faith in the common people of this country to believe that the momentum of the federal government is great enough that either extreme would not be able to make enough changes to destroy the USA that we all admire and even love. And such a government might even (as did the New Deal of FDR) actually get something done for a change, such as putting millions of unemployed Americans at work on our very failing infrastructure. Good Heavens, imagine it, an actually active Congress that would (in concert with, instead of automatic opposition to an active president) even try to get things done for a change. What a concept!!
I am more than happy with opposition to such a radical idea, but pleas try to remain civil and not vilify the messenger. Especially, the ultra conservative right wing posters here. That would very nice indeed. And so, I wish you all A very Good Day, regardless of your political slants!!
