A mind-monster that& #39;s been stalking me all week: what if Hillary had WON? She& #39;d have come into office with a 241 seat house and a 51 seat Senate. MAYBE we get Merrick Garland, but maybe not. And then we& #39;d have had the midterms, where the President& #39;s party almost always... 1/

...loses. So instead of a 41 seats gain in the House... do Democrats lose another 10? And the 2018 Senate map was BRUTAL. Without the headwind of Trump, do Democrats lose 5 seats instead of 2? So that& #39;s 251 House Republicans & 56 Republican Senators.

Then there& #39;s Covid... 2/

...assuming the most competent handling on Clinton& #39;s part (which I have no doubts about) maybe it& #39;s 30K deaths, which we can only assume would get Benghazi style hearings and so would be looking down the barrel of a potentially filibuster proof Senate, a 70 seat... 3/

...Republican majority in the house and a Trump family with 4 years to broadcast hate from the sidelines.

Even this reality isn& #39;t worth the pain we& #39;ve been through, but is it possible that as horrible as it& #39;s been... we& #39;d have been on the verge of something even worse? end/

(And to be clear about the first tweet: Hillary would have taken the Presidency with a 51 REPUBLICAN Senate and a 241 REPUBLICAN House...so never a majority in either chamber...and it only would’ve gotten worse in 2018.)
