It's widely assumed HRC as prez would have be unpopular now, if she was elected. I think this assumption is mostly based on the (reasonable) belief, the GOP would have kept congress and blocked legislation and haunted her presidency through stupid investigations. But what if 2016 turned out to be the landslide some of us and pundits expected in summer 2016? What if HRC had been elected with a 2008-style landslide and Dems not just won the senate, but also a narrow House majority?
What legislation would have been passed? How would 2018 have turned out? And how would things now stand in the 2020 race? I think the midterms wouldn't have been nearly as disastrous as 2010, because the economy would still be doing well. Possibly even better due more certainty on the markets and no trade war.
What are your takes?
