> [@elucidator](#): > > Almost all Republicans and an unknown number of Democrats hate HRC. I’m going to allow it. The hate for Hillary on the right is a fundamental principle, no matter what anyone says… It’s so incredibly brainwashed in their psyche that they would be willing to vote for a disaster like trump - makes me both sad and angry She will be much more of a hawk than Obama, which the right favors. As far as actual legislation, it’s all about whether the dems can win back the senate/house. ---

> [@GIGObuster](#): > > Uh, **WillFarnaby** , this is about what both Republicans and Democrats would like about a Hillary presidency, not what the haters that will always hate think. I’m a registered republican and I like the fact that she is hated and uninspiring and the implications this has for her likely policy proposals. In fact this is the main reason I favor her over Trump, who can rile up the masses. ETA: I’m moderate in deed, radical in word. ---

I like that we can manipulate her into doing what we want if we mobilize public opinion. Give Obama credit for one thing, the man is obstinate. If the public is against it, he’ll do it anyway if that’s what he wants to do. Clinton’s instinct is triangulation and we saw it done to perfection in her response to the Orlando attack. She said “Islamic terrorism” and made it seem like it was the most natural thing in the world for her. Gives me that warm feeling that I got from her “Super Predators” speech.
