We have lost so much.

She’d be on top of it.

The republicans would not lift a finger to pass any of the emergency aids. They will watch and blame democrats for the fall of the economy and stock market happily.

At least right now, they have to try to keep the economy or stock market at a decent level. So bills are passed that actually are helping people. Not to mention all of the blame are rightfully on Trump and the republicans.

Not saying that she could have stopped the virus, but we'd have competent people in control of things. Which we do not at the moment.

.... and fighting her every move.
If President Hillary Clinton called this a pandemic, they'd be claiming it's no worse than a cold.

Saw this morning that only 30% or so of Fox viewers think this is serious. Saw a survey from YouGov/Economist that says Repubs are half as likely to believe this is serious, as differentiated from real people.

In short. President Clinton would be stopped from taking any decisive action.
That's why we need the House AND the Senate.

SO much would be better - though we probably wouldn't have won the House in '18 (something I would have traded for not having to deal with the Vulgar Orange Pig and the filth and destruction that he leaves in his wake).
