No matter how good a job Hillary (or any other Democrat) does, it will be painted as a disaster. Her mistakes will be exaggerated and her triumphs ignored. Remember how Obama taking out Bin Ladin (and Donald Trump, on the same night!) wasn't even noticed by the Right? How even bringing it up was considered bad manners? Or any of his other successes, for that matter, like saving the world economy? And remember how the Bush Baby's Blunders were defended and held up as Conservative dogma and gospel for years by his fawning followers and apologists right here on this forum? Of course, now the poor man has become a GOP outcast and Conservative unperson. He doesn't get invited to Party dos and no one speaks his name in public. These days. he's afraid to address the local Rotarians or open the Texas State Fair.

Whatever Hillary gets accomplished will be ignored, and every one of her shortcomings, real or imagined, will become part of the wingnut litany forever. The Right will be telling us how much worse she was than Obama--regardless of what she does or doesn't do.

OTOH, a Trump victory in November will give us four years of repeated obvious catastrophes and undeniable embarrassments. By the time he's finished (if he goes that long), the Republican Party will be doomed and forgotten. Maybe Bernie's followers were right; better Trump (and the Revolution) than Hillary. Let's bite the bullet, take the laxative, and get it over with.

Remember Robert Graves' novel "Claudius the God"? Roman Emperor Claudius is a Republican at heart, but knows the Roman people prefer a brutal and vicious father figure in charge. So he decides to give them one, by disowning his own son and heir and marrying his harpy niece Agrippina (Caligula's sister and Nero's mother by a previous marriage). He formally adopts Nero, fully believing when the boy becomes Emperor the Romans will give up on the Empire and go back to being a Republic once and for all.

He does this full well knowing Agrippina will probably assassinate him (Claudius) in order to speed her little boy to the throne. She does, (poisoned mushrooms), and Nero succeeds him. You know the rest of that story. Unfortunately, the Romans never do get their Republic back.

Maybe we'll be luckier.
