(6,042 posts)Clinton for refusing to be a scapegoat.
Trump is quickly making the American presidency and the executive branch of government a much less powerful force.
He has trashed its power to build (which is ironic) and be a positive force. He still has the power to destroy-but others in government are beginning to block him.
The imperial presidency which developed after World War II - when other countries were in shambles-was going to end anyway. Trump has hastened the process.
I think we are going to have a space to build a stronger democracy.
I am glad Clinton addressed the issue of what the Republican gerrymandering and voter suppression is aimed at: the calling of a Continental Congress to change the Constitution and radically change our Bill of Rights-to take power from the many and give it to the few.
No one knows the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy better than the woman who named it and she is not going to waste our time telling us to fight the Democratic Party. She is going to take the fight to the true opponents of democracy.
