If Hillary or Romney was president, we would have a new AWB to deal with.
Like them or hate them (guess which?), they are both fairly effective. Obama is...a worthless douche with halfway decent handlers.

Hillary would be a nightmare for gun owners -- worse than Obama. And she's still a threat as long as her electoral prospects are open for 2016.
Some people are nostalgic for Hillary based on some of her recent statements regarding arming the secular Syrian rebels. Don't be fooled. |

Clinton would have had no way to implement a well devised healthcare plan. The option she would face would be garbage or nothing. She would have settled for nothing and gone for poll numbers, and Bill would had advized her to do so as well. Obama went with garbage. Yeah, I think her foreign policy would have been better then Obama's and Kerry's. Libyia was one of the few things she pushed for, and it was a mess, but on balance I think she would have done a better job, she has a more realistic understanding of the world. |

Shows how much I know. I hoped Obama would beat Hillary in the primaries, figuring his relative newcomer/outsider status would prevent him from getting anything done if he won the general election. I thought Hillary, the Hell Bitch, having been around and working the levers of government for so long, was much more dangerous to my interests. She's a centrist in comparison to Obama.

The article ends with: To my mind, however, that would have been a much better outcome for everyone. So there’s my counterfactual for the summer: If Hillary Clinton had won, Obamacare wouldn’t have happened, and Democrats -- and the country -- would be better off. Except HillaryCare was supposed to have mandate from day one. We would have had a lot more success by the democrats under Hillary. I don't know about you, but I don't consider that better. Foreign policy? Who the hell knows? She sure didn't do a whiz bang job as secretary of state.

Quoted:
Excerpted: [div style='margin-left: 40px;']Hillary Clinton would have been more cautious when dealing with Republicans, and therefore ultimately more successful in some ways. At the very least, she would not be facing the same level of vehement opposition in Congress. I think that Hillary Clinton would have pulled back when Rahm Emanuel (or his counterfactual Clinton administration counterpart) told her that this was a political loser and she should drop it. I’ve written before about how my Twitter feed filled up with comparisons to 1932 the night that Obama took the presidency, and it’s quite clear to me that the Obama administration shared what you might call delusions of FDR. It thought that it was in a transformative, historical moment where the normal rules of political caution didn’t apply. The administration was wrong, and the country paid for that. Progressives might well say that they’d rather have the first two years of the Obama administration, followed by gridlock, than steadier but more modest achievements by a Hillary Clinton administration. And that doesn’t even get us into foreign policy, where the differences were deeper and more passionate. If Hillary Clinton had won, Obamacare wouldn’t have happened, and Democrats -- and the country -- would be better off. You're right, it would be called Hillarycare, and whats with the bullshit pro hillary crap? Is it suppose to help her get support for her run at COTUS. It should be "when democrats win, we all lose" |

We would some how been worse off with Hilary or Romney either of them would have wiped the 2A off the bill of rights Hillary because she wants it and Romney because he is a fool. Obama thankfully has the tactician skills of Hitler and has done nothing the last 6 yrs except turn the whole country against him. When Zerocare kicks in fully in 2016 I doubt the Dems will get the presidency and a repeal will be certain.
Obama and the Democrats last hope is amnesty for illegals its the only way they will get enough votes in 2016 |

I never thought I'd say anything good about Hillary Cilnton, but I tend to agree w/ you here. During the primaries running up to the 08 election, I voted a Democrat ticket in the primary because Obama absolutely scared the hell out of me, and I wanted Hillary to win the Democratic nomination. Not that I thought McCain was a great choice (he had the nomination locked up by the time we voted).. but man I'd have asked for one of the 3 Stooges over Obama. |

The Dem strategists are pretty smart folks. They watched in the back ground during the primaries to see how voters reacted to different "issues" with the platform. If you recall, Hillary's platform wasn't significantly different than Obama. I think the big difference was that Hillary was the "establishment" and Obama was the up and coming guy with "fresh new ideas for hope and change" with the charisma to sell it. They knew then and know now that Obama was and is completely unqualified for the job. His incompetence is making Hillary look "good" despite her pretty serious screw ups in her post as SOS in Obama's administration. They new Obama wouldn't get everything through in one fell swoop, but that he would very effectively divide the country on several social issues. The effect of that division is now an even stronger Left, with the Right now doing damage control to try to win over those in the "center." Guess what....compared to Obama, Hillary suddenly looks more "moderate" and thus has a legitimate change at scoring significant amounts of centrist votes. To win just about every fight one must divide and conquer. Obama did the dividing, now Hillary will conquer. It is going to take an extraordinary effort to get a Conservative in the White House in 2016. The Dem's have bought too many votes by further bolstering government entitlements and getting more folks dependent on Uncle Sugar. I'm not sure how a conservative could possibly sway any of those folks back to a self sufficient model. |

I'm not sure how a conservative could possibly sway any of those folks back to a self sufficient model. Eh, no. Hillary could have won just as well against McCain in '08 (although that is partly 20/20 hindsight; as it was with Palin as VP McCain was close to Obama in the polls until the financial crisis hit). She has less chance in '16. I think it would have been a better bet for them to win with Clinton '08 then win with Obama in '16. Obama's "change" would work against Clinton, too. The left does not tend to run qualified candidates. Kerry was their '04 choice and his executive experience consisted of commanding 5 guys 35 years prior. His runner up, Edwards, had no executive experience. In '08, neither Hillary nor Obama any executive experience of significance. Hillary would not have pushed through Obamacare. She would have backed off to protect her popularity. Obama didn't push it through will skill or hard work, he sat back and let Reid push it, like a giant turd, through the bowls of the Senate. It really should be called Reidcare. |
