| You Want More Trump? Let Hillary Speak! |

| [PJ] A lot of people made a lot of bad predictions during the 2016 election, myself included. As election day loomed, I tried to mentally prepare myself for the horror of a Hillary Clinton presidency. I assumed it was bound to happen, no matter which of the two completely unacceptable major party candidates got my vote. (Neither one did. I ended up writing in Larry Hovis.) So I was immensely relieved to wake up the next morning to learn that she had lost. To a man. Again. We avoided the worst-case scenario, in favor of the second-worst-case scenario. We wouldn't have to listen to that voice for the next 4-8 years. Finally, Hillary could waddle off to the woods, or crawl into a vat of Chardonnay, or find some other way to fill that void in her soul. Finally, she'd stop belligerently scolding America all the time. Once again, I was completely wrong. No matter what happened on Nov. 8, 2016, there is no timeline in the multiverse where Hillary Clinton will ever, ever stop yapping. And I say... let her! Judy Kurtz, The Hill: "I was really struck by how people said that to me ‐ you know, mostly people in the press, for whatever reason ‐ mostly, ’Go away, go away,’" Clinton said Thursday during an event at Rutgers University. "And I had one of the young people who works for me go back and do a bit of research. They never said that to any man who was not elected. I was kind of struck by that," Clinton said. I'm trying to remember any previous presidential candidate who lost and then spent the next 18 months hobbling around complaining about it to anybody with a camera and a microphone. I don't recall any previous Oval Office-loser who wrote a book about it, literally titled What Happened. Nope, all those previous washouts managed to move on dot org. Hell, even Al Gore quit whining about it after the first year or so! He just ate everything in sight, made movies about how your carbon footprint is destroying the planet, and flew around on private jets between his various mansions. |

| #2 I tried to mentally prepare myself for the horror of a Hillary Clinton presidency. Then he wasted his vote on a write in. I'm supposed to be impressed? Larry who? |

| #1 We wouldn't have to listen to that voice for the next 4-8 years. I doubt that actually. The 9/11/16 incident showed that Hillary is likely suffering from some chronic progresive neurological condition. A Hillary presidency would have been agonizing, with long poorly explained absences from the public eye. The de-facto President would have been Kaine or perhaps Abedin/Weiner. It would have resembled Wilson's second term, only this time in the nuclear age. |
