especially short term. Long term, the differences really don't matter much, the country continues to move right in either case. You can scream SCOTUS all you want, but the truth is the GOP will not allow any Dem to appoint Scalia's replacement.
We are going to remain locked in eternal war regardless of whether it is Trump or HRC. The Death penalty will continue, the economy will implode, and the poor and middle class will be required to foot the bill and shoulder the blame. Meanwhile, the planet will continue to heat up, and the next mass extinction will begin. Neither Trump nor HRC are willing to stop this since it would require radical action that would cost very important corporations to have lower profits, and this JUST.CANNOT.BE.ALLOWED.
We are cruising toward the abyss at 60 mph. One candidate will jam on the gas, hit the nitrous boosters and light the JATO rockets. The other will gently break the car, so as not to upset her wealthy passengers, and then will drive sedately into the chasm.
The destination is the same, no matter which one wins, it is just a matter of the route and the drive time.
