A GOP Majority Would Start Impeachment Proceedings Against POTUS Clinton.

The GOP very likely to start new investigations with the idea of impeaching Hillary before she takes the oath they are so craven. Even if Hillary wins we will face fierce and vicious opposition from the GOP and Trumpers. It will be Benghazi, emails, Clinton Foundation, etc etc ad nauseam.

So if we do not take majorities in both Senate and House we can be faced with continual stalemate. The GOP is determined to stop everything until they get full power or the US just plain crashes from multiple crises. The fight over ZIKA funding is just the beginning.

And the GOP has enough constituency who support them because we are not a white America anymore. Nor are we Christian enough. We are honestly faced with a part of America who will stay intransigent until hell freezes over. And Trump supporters are pretty much that group.

And I do believe that group would rather see America fail if they do not get their way. And it has been that way for a very long time. Now these people are out in the open.

this is also why mrs. unblock drives when both of us are in the car.

she likes to think it's because she's a better driver, but in reality it's because she's a terrible passenger (which she readily admits, she can't stand not being in control).

republicans are very similar, or perhaps they're like the child who throws a temper tantrum when they don't get their way, hoping that the parents will just give them the toy out of exhaustion.
