what Hillary MUST do when this witch hunt ends...

[Osakagreg]

she could start by bridging the gap with moderate republicans.

They want to save their party, and it's been hijacked by the tea party and alt and far right.

If they can find some things they agree on, they need to start on those ideas, let the tea party and far right reveal themselves as the obstructionists they are.

At the same time, moderates are going to have to start speaking up against conspiracy theories, flat out lies, and every bit of nonsense that used to be their "fuel."

AND, they will need to concede that this witch hunt was greatly a part of political gain.

It's possible they could restore dignity to their party. I'm certainly a democrat, but if we can't have a functional two party system, we all lose in the long run.

1. I think the GOP is too far gone.

They stopped caring about governance long ago. I think she should set out her policies and invite the moderates to join her.

Dems should close ranks behind her on everything and put pressure on the GOP to grow up.

[Fla Dem]

4. Agree, the far RW has too much control over congress right now. They forced out John Boehner

and now thy're going after Paul Ryan. They are a very vocal radical minority. They have a number of high ranking visible congress members who are pushing congress further right all the time. There is no united group of moderate Republicans willing to stick their necks out and fight back against them.

8. The Republican Party has become a clear and present danger to this country.

We have experienced 8 years of perpetual temper tantrums and they have no problem trying to torch this country if they can't get their way. They have caused far more harm to this country then ISIS ever has. They only care about trying to obtain and retain total power everything else be damned.

[JoePhilly]

9. YUP ... and it actually started under Bill Clinton ...

... under Bush they still didn't really do dick for the American people ... and then they spent the last 8 years trying to damage the US to hurt Obama.

So that's at least 24 years of non-governance from these idiots.

[radius777]

23. exactly, they've been doing this shit for 24 years

they couldn't cope with the fact that Bill Clinton won and derailed their conservative dream of taking us back to the dark ages. then they couldn't cope with Obama winning. they're fucking sore losers, who then hold these fake investigations into faux scandals, wasting everyone's time and money, causing gridlock, etc. The GOP truly has devolved into a fascist right-wing trash party.

3. I think you are spot on.

It can be done with a major issue. Immigration reform right off the start. This is an area we can have major progress with moderate republican support. They will also be desperate to not look like racists after Trump goes down. Very willing to bargain.

6. Moderate republican? Am not familiar with this term

If any republican even so much as smiles at a Clinton or a Clinton aide they will be primaried as quickly and as brutally as they can be.

Thus ends any moderate republicans.

Who was that senator from Colorado that dare said something about compromise? Bob Bennet or something like that? He was run out of town like a diseased whore.

[exboyfil]

28. The "moderate" Senator from Illinois just

made a racist joke about Rep. Duckworth.

Moderate McCain said that no Clinton Supreme Court nominee will get confirmed.

I don't see any moderate Republican Senators.

7. The witch hunt will never end. Ever. She should do what ever she can with out the

other side. She's going to be as obstructed as Obama has been. Probably more since the other side has had many years to build up steam on their hatred. As far as I can remember they have never let up on the witch hunt of anything even remotely Clinton.

[OnDoutside]

10. It depends on the margin of victory. If the Reps

Hold the House, nothing will change.

[MoonRiver]

12. There's nothing Hillary can do to help the Repubs.

They brought this nightmare on themselves. Trying to blame Dems for not "reaching out" is just an excuse for right wing extremism.

[Coyotl]

13. Better yet, get about 30 Republican Congress members to switch party.

Then there won't be any "moderate Republicans" anymore.

[meow2u3]

21. That'll also give the Dems control of the House

[Fla Dem]

14. Obama tried that and got sand kicked in his face.

Why is it always the Democratic Presidents that have to find common ground with the rethughs? Time we kicked ass and take names later.

[SMC22307]

18. Comey is an Obama appointee.

When will Democrats ever learn?

[Fla Dem]

29. Exactly, he went out of his way to appease the Rethugs thinking they would work with him. NOT!

Now it's coming back to bite him and HRC.

[RobinA]

15. This Witch Hunt

will never end. Not ever.

[Cosmocat]

16. This is the most fantastical post possible

There is nothing short of being raptured that Hillary could do that would keep any elected republican from doing anything in his or her power to destroy her.

[Osakagreg]

17. I believe there are some moderates that would rather save...

I believe there are some moderates that would rather save their party by teaming up with Hillary, than see their party destroyed by letting the crazy right continue.

[Demsrule86]

30. Baloney. There is no saving the GOP.

It is now populated with alt-reich racists and woman haters. We see what happens when Democrats reach across the aisle with Comey's deplorable behavior. We need to fight hard against the truly evil GOP.

[BlueCollar]

22. I would like to see a list of moderate republicans..n/t

[LiberalFighter]

25. What moderate Republicans remaining yes.

She will do what she can.

[raging moderate]

26. I wish you were right, but you are wrong.

The Republican party was the party of Lincoln. This is a terrible tragedy in US history. My family were all Republicans going back to the days when they were Abolitionists. When they decided to pick up the racists to gain control of the congress and the public finances, they lost their soul. Let this be a lesson for us all!

[Gabi Hayes]

27. this phase of pug trucculence began with Newt and Frank Luntz and their control of language

campaign in the early 90s

look it up

time for beddy and tears in my pillow

cubs are toast after tonight, and tomorrow's probable third shutout in four games

yeeesh

how depressant
