Right wing elites are happy with a President Clinton

Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, drudge, coulter, trump, etc... would love a Clinton presidency because it means more money for them. They have an enemy that they complain about for 4 years and get the deplorables all riled up. That's book sales, webpage visits, tv ratings, etc... Just like they did with Presidents Obama and Clinton. It's harder to defend a republican president than it is to blame a democratic president for everything.

They're getting a little worried now, though, that Trump might have gone too far and they could lose their majority. Now THAT would be bad.

In the balance. But I agree, a Democratic win will give them plenty to work with from a propaganda angle.
