A Clinton Win Will Leave A More Embittered Nation.

[TheMastersNemesis]

GOPPERS will be more bitter and hateful than ever with a Hillary victory. I am sure you can count on it.

[sharp_stick]

1. Watching veins pop

among the yapping moron crowd on TV will be the most enjoyable reality programming in years.

I'm hoping Sean Hannity strokes out.

[Xipe Totec]

18. Fortunately, it will all be covered by Hillarycare. nt

[Brickbat]

2. ROFLMAO.

Either win will do so. Or are you saying a Sanders win wouldn't have? Again, I LMAO.

[MADem]

3. I think it will leave the nation RELIEVED.

McConnell and Ryan do not want to be in the position of having to defend that orange ass.

They'd rather play the "fight against" game. Sometimes, when your candidate is a fucking idiot, like Trump is, the better position is as a member of the loyal opposition.

[mjjoe]

9. I agree with what you say, except

The word "loyal" in describing the GOP opposition. The Republicans in Congress have been pretty clear in their willingness to damage the country to achieve their political ends.

[MADem]

17. Look, I am talking as though from their perspective.

They aren't going to call themselves the "disloyal opposition."

They think we're the assholes, so they will regard themselves as "loyal" to the constructs of our system, even if they are obstructionist assholes.

If they take a drubbing at the polls, both in the executive branch contest and the legislative ones (GOTV!!!!! Push those downticket contests!!!!!!!!!!) then they will be cowed.

It's what needs to happen. They are either going to have to reinvent themselves completely, or follow the Whigs into oblivion.

[Johnny2X2X]

4. A Trump win

A trump win will tear the country apart. There will be serious civil unrest.

But to make a point, we have to try to reach these lost hateful souls that are his base, they are Americans too.

[still_one]

5. Except for the most extreme, I don't agree. In fact when you have life long republicans

coming out supporting Hillary, including prominent members of the military, who have favored republicans for decades, that bitterness only applies to the most extreme of the republican party.

[treestar]

6. the minority of troglodytes sure

they are already mad a black man has been president for 8 years.

[librarylu]

29. To be followed by a white woman?

Unthinkable. Lock her up - in the kitchen.

[redstatebluegirl]

7. To damn bad!

The embittered nation will be the very right wing of the republican party which is nowhere near the 40 or so percent people think it is. I live in the most red state in the country. We obviously know a lot of Republicans. The majority of the ones we know acknowledge that their party has lost their minds and that Hillary is the best choice.

They don't like it, but they tell us that she is more than ready to run the country. They don't believe in her policies but they plan to vote for her. Now, there are the nuts, like the Trumper next door but we have some of those types in our party as well.

Maybe I am being optimistic but I think if we get the Senate, and things get done it may not be as bad as it has been with President Obama, I think they hate the Black man in the white house so much they will be glad to have anyone white in there. Not saying that is right because it is NOT, just making an observation of the nuts on the other side. I try not to analyze them since they are so crazy you would need lots of letters after your name to do it.

[gordianot]

8. Trump would create an embattled nation.

He would not defend the Constitution and would have to face the consequences.

[workinclasszero]

10. A Trump win will leave a more fascist nation

I'll take embittered, thanks.

[CentralMass]

11. We will have to try and get over it.

[Orrex]

12. I agree--we should vote for Trump to make the GOP feel better.

[bluedye33139]

14. 😂

[sufrommich]

13. Three democratic presidents in a row will send a message

to the republican party that they need to moderate or die.

[MADem]

21. Well, we'd need one more POTUS on our team, then.

We've had Obama, and now we'll have Clinton. If we get (Fill in name of D) in 2024, then we'll have reason to hand out the shovels to bury the GOP.

When an incumbent does not win a 2nd term, it's evidence of grave dissatisfaction. It's very difficult to shift them.

[athena]

68. I think the poster meant to say, three terms of Democratic Presidents. (n/t)

[workinclasszero]

25. When they are at the point of putting up demagogue Russian bootlickers like Trump

for President...

The death option is the only way.

If there were any moderate republicans with any power in the party Trump wouldn't be standing there victorious.

Even the damn Koch bros couldn't stop him.

[uponit7771]

70. +1

[mfcorey1]

15. Nothing can be worse than the way they treated President Obama.

[rufus dog]

43. just wait

I thought they wouldn't accept Sarah Palin, they jumped immediately behind her. Then they nominate Trump. We need to learn one thing. They hate the idea of liberals more than anything else, for fucks sake, they are fine jumping behind Putin.

[dawg]

16. A Clinton win will leave ....

a nation.

Not so sure about the alternative.

[roamer65]

19. She's better than the alternative.

I do think she should bring some moderate Rethugs into the cabinet, to help soothe the divide.

[MADem]

22. The rule is generally one. Two if you've got a de-facto indy with a party registration of

convenience.

I think she will pick, choose and refuse from a wide spectrum of talent. She won't pick obstructionists or jerks, though--she'll pick people who put the country first.

[Hoyt]

20. I'm beginning to think "Get used to it conservative white wingers" is the only approach left.

[rjsquirrel]

27. Until they finish dying off eom

[Lil Missy]

23. only the right-wingers and the Bernie Busters.

[shraby]

24. So be it! I don't know how the wingnuts can get any more vile.

[rjsquirrel]

26. As opposed to what?

The tremendous loyalty and affection they've shown President Obama?

[workinclasszero]

28. IKR?

[Cracklin Charlie]

30. I think they are already bitter.

Where's all the trolls?

[eleny]

31. A Trump win will leave the nation in ashes

[mountain grammy]

32. We've had 8 years of their bullshit

They're a dying breed. My father in law succumbed in 2012 after Obama's re-election. Most of his buddies will go when Hillary takes the oath. Not wishing death on anyone, these are all people well into their 80's and 90's who rail on and on about the "lazy takers" in America, while they continue to collect SS years after they've recouped everything they've paid in. I have no problem with that, but STFU about the working poor who are contributing to your well being.

[world wide wally]

33. Are you saying they won't accept her the way they have Obama?

Gasp!

[NightWatcher]

34. Tough shit. If we give her a Dem Congress they whiners have no power to obstruct either.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

35. NO. The Nation will NOT be more embittered. Trump's die-hard core will be more embittered.

Get that fucking straight.

Pessimist.

Hillary Clinton's campaign is optimistic. Barack Obama's campaigns were optimistic.

[font size = "+1"]Republicans, Tea party types and Trump dead-enders do not define the United States of America.[/font]

[Wounded Bear]

36. I expect more backlash, to be sure...

Will it be worse than what Pres Obama suffered? I don't know. Hard to believe it could be worse, but it's hard to believe they would support Trump to.

I think I need another believer. Mine's getting over worked.

[blogslut]

37. Oh well.

Maybe those people will come to understand that bitterness and hatred are emotional choices.

[oswaldactedalone]

38. Hillary must win

or we all in a shitpile deeper than ever before. It's absolutely critical that we win the Senate and somehow squeak out a majority in the house. That's the only path forward so do more than you ever have to elect down ticket Dems at all levels. The Thuglican Party has to squashed and the sooner the better.

[Salviati]

39. I only hope that they will learn from their failure in November...

... the same lesson that they learn from all their failures - not that their policies are unpopular, unworkable, and ineffective, but that their loss can be blamed on not being extreme enough!

David Duke / Rotting Corpse of George Wallace 2020!

[AgadorSparticus]

40. They will be. But it is not because of Hillary. It will be b/c of the tea party.

[LiberalFighter]

41. They are dying off faster than they can reproduce.

[GeorgeGist]

42. They'll die sooner.

[Egnever]

44. Oh noes!

Whatever will we do?

Personally watching them go bat shit crazy over it is part of the appeal. Imagine the nutcase they will pick next time.

[Drahthaardogs]

45. I,for one, will savor the teeth gnashing

Their salty tears will taste delicious.

[Iggo]

46. Yeah. So fucking what. They hated the black guy, too.

I'm not living my life trying not to piss off racist homophobic misogynistic assholes.

[former9thward]

47. No matter who wins the nation will be divided.

And almost ungovernable. We are two nations living in one land and neither is going anywhere.

[Warren DeMontague]

48. some people are going to complain no matter what happens.

take it to the bank.

[DFW]

49. By no means all of them

Not all Republicans want their sons and daughters in the military exposed to the kind of danger Trump's Marvel Avengers fantasies would get us into. Not all Republicans are willing to risk an out-of-control budget that could make their net worth loss of 2008 seem like a misplaced dime. Not all Republicans want to see the kind of governmental chaos that will lead to a dysfunction that would cause a voter backlash favoring Democrats the likes of which they would REALLY need a generation to recover from.

There are plenty of Republicans out there who hope that a Hillary victory would bring their party rank and file back to (what they see as) their senses. This does NOT mean they have suddenly all become benevolent. George Will and David Brooks do NOT wish us well. But they know that Trump and his pals don't wish THEM well, so they are resigned to a Hillary victory. Die-hard Sanders supporters do not have a monopoly on the "lesser of two evils" outlook on this election.

[Initech]

50. They've spent the last 30 years hating the Clintons.

8 years of office their heads will start exploding.

[LostinRed]

51. What?

[Agschmid]

52. And a Trump leaves... Well nothing... Literally nothing will be left.

[emulatorloo]

53. I don't give a shit about the bitter tears of deranged Hillary-Haters.

More concerned about pushing back on their false memes and their egregious policies. Those ideologues deserve to be marginalized, not feared.

[lapucelle]

55. Embittered Tea Party = Embittered Nation?

Your concern is utterly unfounded, but duly noted.

[spanone]

56. a trump win won't leave a nation.

[Proud Public Servant]

57. Luckily, we can all be ready with these

[Rex]

58. GOPers are shitty people, let them be bitter and angry. Not like they have a wide array of emotions.

Fuck'em.

[DawgHouse]

59. Ridiculous.

[StraightRazor]

60. You are absolutely correct...

Republicans will make her four or eight years miserable for her and for us.

[0rganism]

62. the GOPpers, as you say, will be bitter and hateful

fortunately, there will be far less of them

[beachbumbob]

63. Who cares?....they are filled with hate .....

Same hate they have for Obama....

[Blaukraut]

64. Good.

[JoePhilly]

65. The remaining GOPers are crackpots and nutjobs.

Let them scream.

[joshcryer]

66. As if they weren't already maxxed out on bitterness toward Obama.

[Justice]

67. Obama was going to help the nation turn a page, but the GOP decided they would

try to make him fail at every turn. There isn't anything we can do about that mindset - but Hillary is tough, she can handle embittered - and she will get things done.

[athena]

69. Is this post a joke?

It is, isn't it? Please tell me it is.
