Plus, he would lose badly because of his ramming through of the idiotic unSAFE Act. 3 years in, way under 5% compliance, and that is if we figure their low estimate isn't just made up to save face. He is dangerous because he doesn't think before he acts. Then this happens......and republicans are born, just like that.

Hillary is Machiavelli with lipstick.
Whether Hillary or the Rethug candidate wins in November, there is one clear winner -- Wall Street and Big Money interests.
Main Street will continue to lose. Unions will continue to die and working Americans will be forced to work until they die.
