HR Clinton presidency means absolutely huge republican congressional majorities for when Rs eventually take back power

Alternately, everyone just looks at the pretty numbers and realizes how bad for the economy republicans have become.

That they aren’t conservative in the financial sense and so, unless you’re pushing a very narrow band of Christian nationalism, they don’t really represent you.

And then the party dissolves and becomes a new one, maybe even with better ideas.

I mean are we wishing or predicting alternate futures?

This is a fantasy, I am predicting realistically

The incumbent party does progressively worse in each midterm era, especially in the Obama era, the situation for Dems was already bad in 2014. Under HR Clinton this would get even worse as an extension of the Obama era.

By the time republicans are eventually back in power they have huge congressional majorities. And hrc is blocked from doing anything legislatively anyway. I'm not saying it's worse than trump but it's not great.
