Northjayhawk posted:The email poo poo no longer being an issue would be extremely helpful as well. If the GOP says one word about it, you will hear the eyeroll from most of the electorate. All the clinton poo poo from the 90's, the Clinton Foundation, all of that was litigated here. The next GOP nominee will have no choice but to focus on her record in the first term. If we finally get a supreme court justice there will probably be some major rulings handed down in that period. Conservatives have been putting together cases with the expectation of a conservative justice, which is going to hilariously bite them in the rear end now. Expect the 2020 election to largely be about how mad the GOP is that peeing is legal and gerrymandering isn't.

Noctone posted:I think it would be pretty cool if Comey isn't even allowed the dignity of resigning and is just straight up shitcanned. Obama's too cool to just do that to him even with being frosted though, he'll quietly ask him to resign and dude will probably do it and get on that wingnut welfare gravytrain. Now if he DOESN'T resign, his chances of getting shitcanned go up substantially. I'm not even convinced he survives a Trump win, because even the R's are super uncomfortable with the implications of what he did.

With a Democratic Senate, is there any hope of enacting fiscal policy towards the end of staving off the future bust in the cycle? Monetary policy-wise, the hands are kind of tied aren't they, since fed funds rate can only be slashed so low, and raising would probably pop the mini-housing bubble, no? What options do we have for economic policy implementation?

ReV VAdAUL posted:Clinton's biggest barrier to re-election in 2020 would probably be the recession we're likely to see in the next four years, given the number of economic crisis bubbling in the background. It probably wouldn't be blamed so much on her as the Democrats in general because they've held the Whitehouse for 12 years and "they said they'd fix this!" In which case selecting a different Democratic candidate wouldn't do much. 100% of the reason they haven't been solved is republicans pouting and voting no about everything, but I agree that everyone will blame the Democratic Party.

One of the weird side effects of the GOP embracing the conspiracy nut contingent is they can't reliably predict what side their constituents will be on about a lot of formerly safe Law & Order stuff. Sure conservative voters like cops shooting minorities okay, but the FBI feature heavily in gun-snatching fever dreams and can't be trusted.

It's a ten-year "term limit" but it's not "you get this job for ten years" kind of gig; but I don't think she can fire him for other reasons -- namely the optics of it would be pretty loving terrible. Obama prolly can't either for same. That said, I think he'll resign anyway. Bushiz posted:Who will loudly talk about how the media will try to distract people with all this "gay rights" stuff.

I expect Trump to win the popular vote but lose the EV map, and go away bickering that the electoral college rigs elections. Which is sort of ironic, since George W and other Republicans have long pushed the Dems to the coast. Whatever. My only hope is that in AZ the anti-Trump vote and anti-Arpaio vote knocks out both.

That's an incredibly rare situation in the best of times and honestly would trend towards Democrats due to the way the EV/population centers are laid out.
