If Hillary Wins GOP "Caucus Room" Meeting Likely.

[TheMastersNemesis]

It is quite likely that the GOP will use its "caucus room" strategy to continue to obstruct everything Hillary proposes. So we can probably count on a continuing status quo as long as the GOP has any power.

1. Unfortunately

You're probably right. At least she can still manage Federal agencies, appoint judges (she is NOT going to put up with obstruction of her ability to appoint a Justice to replace Scalia or anybody else), and do some good at some level until we get some relief at the Congressional level.

2. I'm sure they will

But I think Hillary is a force. I think she can be ruthless when people stand in her way.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

3. I know

Just think of all of the people she and Bill have rubbed out over the years and all of coverups!

4. Ugh. So true.

But you "did right" pointing this out.

5. Senate will be in democratic control....I see them modifying filibuster rules

To stop obstruction....as for the house...democrats have a strong possibility of winning

[KittyWampus]

6. They'll be lucky to keep the Senate. And their control of the House should weaken.

7. of course they will

Those...creatures fought the 'black guy'; they will obstruct 'that woman'. The rumors & lies will be hair curling & gut churning I expect.

8. Democrats in Congress, generally, will negotiate and compromise because governing requires it.

Republicans began obstructionism under Bill Clinton and brought it to the level of and evil art form after 2010 against Obama. This will be true no matter which Democrat is elected.

9. One of the best things, IMO, Clinton brings to the table

Is her long history in DC--meaning she knows where most of the bodies are buried and she probably isn't afraid to use that card to get shit done.

10. Her being white will probably make things a little easier.

However, a country cannot be productively governed with over 40% of its voters being dumb, uneducated or disturbed to the point of casting their votes to the extreme right. This amorphous blob will trickle to all down-ballot elections and prolonged the stalemate. The only optimistic solution to this conundrum would be the end of the two-party system and the beginning of the multi-party system common in all others western democracies.
