Clinton Trump Johnson and Stein
My prediction: Trump wins the popular vote while Hillary wins the electoral college. And the popular vote will be split nearly evenly. Hillary, of course, will claim a non-existent “mandate,” while Trump contests the battleground state votes through legal means. Meanwhile, the Congress will shift slightly toward the Democrats but not enough to gain any sort of majority capable of supporting a President Clinton as she goes about governing. Investigations and even impeachment will commence almost on Day One (and I agree that they should) and our government will be hamstrung to get anything done.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that. What we do NOT need are more laws. We have enough. And we have enough national debt, a debt that arose from trying to do too much with too little.
But what has me worried the most is the near-unstoppable forward motion of the bureaucracy. Absent any sort of adult supervision (or perhaps because of the wrong kind of supervision), bureaucrats have the unspoken mandate to continue promulgating regulations that no one voted for or against. A president without a clear mandate for change cannot do anything to stop the bureaupathalogs. Or worse: A President Hillary will see bureaucracy as her only means of effecting whatever change she believes in, and will work around Congress in much the same way that her mentor, Obama, has done.
I am a member of that “basket” of citizens that Hillary labeled the “deplorables.” What a sad and pathetic way to begin your rule: by labeling half your people as deplorable.
And how decidedly un-Presidential.
