One thing is for certain: President-elect Hillary Clinton would not have a 36% approval right now

No doubt she'd still have her rabid band of haters but I can't imagine her falling victim to some of the most obvious common sense failings Trump had made so far.

Most notably I doubt she would have continued to act as though she was in an election at this point or engaging in unnecessary personality conflicts. Nor would she have nominated so many cabinet heads whose opinions were a direct 180 against the stated purpose of their respective departments.

It just seems so common sense even when you remove party affiliation from the mix. You have to screw up really bad to be an incoming president and have nearly 60 percent of the people doubting your abilities.
