Congressional staff say the mood inside the Capitol is tense, stifling and bewildering as members brush off their constituents’ outrage.

    Which works every time, unless it doesn’t work.Like when Hillary Clinton lost against Donald Trump.

        Blame the DNC for manipulating a Clinton nomination win over Sanders.

        She was at least slightly less worse than Trump though.

          True, but the problem was the Dems assumed it was a slam dunk, and wound up pretty much handing Trump the presidency.

            Yeah, like how Hillary would have given massive tax cuts to the rich, ended Roe v. Wade with three extremist SCOTUS judges, and instigated a riot when she lost the election. Just as bad.

          No she wasn’t. She would have been slightly less worse for the US only… for the rest of the planet, having a buffoon that was incompetent at neocolonialism was somewhat less worse.

              Yes, I know… the rest of the world doesn’t get a say in the US’s shitfuckery. If we could, we’d vote the US out of existence.

      Don’t forget her campaign literally centered Trump in her “pied piper” strategy.

      She built her own political demise.
