Current Events > How do you think the first seven months of a Hillary presidency would compare...

(+) Yeah! (+)

80/80

We're a little more than halfway through the first year of Trump's presidency now, and judging by the last seven months, how do you think a Hillary presidency would've compared at this point? Would things have been better? Would they be worse?

...would they even be any different?

Less drama

Not much changed policy-wise since Trump hasn't really been able to pass any of his bigger promises

Less drama, other nations probably wouldn't be laughing at the mess that is the US administration right now. All girl power across the world.

Aside from Putin and a couple other strongman assholes I don't think there's a "probably" about it lol. Every single family member and friend I have in other countries either loves, likes, or at least approves of Hillary.

america wouldnt be a global laughingstock if it had been hillary
plus her entire career has been spent building up her resume to be qualified for the presidency so at least she would have known what she was doing

Oh yes it would

For people who say "It would be worse", can you say why it would be worse?
---

she would be presidential and wouldnt be tweeting things out on the crapper and spouting fake news 24/7

Because hillary is corruption incarnate?

This, more or less. But to add
- There'd be some areas (specifically foreign policy) where I think she'd be getting a pass for doing much of the same stuff as Trump (not that he's been too harshly criticized for foreign policy)
- We'd still be in the Paris deal, which is good
- The executive branch wouldn't be populated by open crooks (too much) and folks like Gorka and Sessions
- I wonder if "the left" would be as active. God knows Hillary has her share of critics on the left, but Trump has spurred people into action (including many liberals) in a way that I'm not sure she could.

Better.
Realistic goals getting delivered in arealistic timeframe. Less stupidity, drama and reality show bs. Actual work getting done. Sounds pretty great to me.

she could fail repeatedly, which would probably have happened regardless, and still have a higher approval rate at this point.
