Politico reports that Republicans who feel that Donald Trump is a doomed nominee are already looking past the election in November in order to make plans to block Hillary Clinton from doing anything that might remotely resemble a progressive agenda.
One GOP operative tells Politico that it will work to block her Supreme Court nominees by targeting vulnerable Democrats who live in states where her agenda is unpopular.
Take Joe Manchin in West Virginia, the operative said. If Hillary puts up an anti-coal pro-EPA judge for the Supreme Court, the smart play is to start pressuring him with an advocacy campaign to vote no.
Another anonymous GOP staffer, meanwhile, pledged to use the same obstructionist tactics against Clinton that the party has used with such success against President Obama.

(7,170 posts)1. Hillary has relationships with many republicans and has worked with them on specific issues.
2. She knows where the bodies are buried.
3. She is under no illusions about having a happy honeymoon with the tea party.
4. The republican leadership has to do something to justify their existence

Cut aid to red states where possible; gerrymander like mad where possible. Just start paying back their sh*t from the past 8 years. I just hope Hillary learned not be a Compromiser in Chief and stands up to them carrying a big stick.
