step 1 dems take back the house and senate
step 2. dems appoint hillary (or bernie) speaker of the house. there is no rule requiring the speaker to be a member of the house
step 3 impeach both president treason and pence

hillary then becomes president

Hillary loses the general election, and Democrats lose control of both the house and Senate.

Sorry, but Hillary motivates the right to vote more than she does the left.

12. The fact remains that she is polarizing

and the Repuke voters hated her as much as/more than they adored the misogynist fraud Trump.

YES. She won the popular vote.

YES. Russia was involved in dirty dealings.

We need to move on. "Forgiveness means giving up all hope for a better past." Not quite appropriate (forgiveness) but the longer we sit and stew about woulda/coulda/shoulda the less time we spend productively on the future.

My dream is a Democrat House and Senate at mid terms, followed by a landslide victory for the Democrats in 2020. JUST THAT. Hillary (IMO) is not part of my dream. I am not looking for spite or vitriol... though anger kept me warm for a while. Anger isn't good for a person when it stays around too long.

15. And more than a few on our side if the fence are still unhappy about how the primary was handled

Moving on beyond Hillary is probably for the best. We need younger, less polarizing voices leading the party

that would definitely be a great ending to this horrid nightmare. She could bring this country back from the grips of the #MobsterInChief. Of course all his administration and appointees would have to be let go. Everything they've done that has put us in the spiral down the shithold chute must be reversed. We need someone who knows more than self-serving while raping the taxpayers. Bring pride back to this nation.

11. I would fight against making either Clinton or Sanders speaker.

And I mean fight. It would be a horrible move that would hurt us electorally.

Let the Republicans start spending their propaganda dollars attacking Democrats other than Clinton.

And the Democratic Party will NEVER have a non-Democrat as their speaker.

We also have a ton of powerful Democrats that make such a move completely unnecessary.

president.

Really, do you really not get that there is zero, zilch, nada, etc. chance that republicans would support an effort that would result in a Democrat becoming president?
