If Hillary wins in 2016, Inauguration Day 2017 will be a very powerful moment

The first black president of the United States up there at the inaugural stand passing off the baton to the first female president of the United States.

It would be a very powerful moment indeed.

it was Elizabeth Warren.

then it would be a most powerful and historical moment of the best possible kind.

(Hillary probably still thinks McCain is a better man than Obama)

The election of Hillary Clinton will confirm this along with the end of the era of punitive taxes on job creators; strangulation of the world of finance through intrusive regulation, kowtowing to union bosses, big government giveaways that reward the takers and punish the makers all with a foreign policy that is afraid of victory - The election of Hillary will confirm once and for all that both parties are standing shoulder to shoulder and of single mind in confining the New Deal and its professional apologists on the professional left to the dustbin of history. Then and only then will we be able to achieve the same great legislative victories like former President Clinton and former Speaker Gingrich achieved by sharing the same vision of working together for economic freedom.

They wont be celebrating, but they won't be that unhappy. Hillary is no threat to the 1%.

I wouldn't be as disappointed in seeing Hillary Clinton elected as I would be if someone further to the right won, but we can surely do better than Hillary in 2016. Perhaps I need to get over the war and my personal experiences in it, but I can't get past her vote for the war on Iraq and her outright refusal to apologize for it. As a disabled veteran produced by that war and her vote, that war was and continues to be very personal and real to me.

Will she charge the bush crime family? Will she stop drone strikes?
If we are to be a nation of laws, we cant pick the ones we enforce.


Yeah, a powerful moment.
Now flame ME instead of answering.
