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.

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

          I really think it might be a toss up. Good chance that bitch Hillary would have been just as bad

            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.

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

      She built her own political demise.
