Re: 115th Congress - Still 100% Roy Moore Free
The Dow being at 25,000 is nice, however it's not truly meaningful to anyone but the 1% of the 1%. The "Trump Bump" is mostly speculative and artificial, and now that they got their tax cuts, it's just going to lead to a bigger, nationwide bust when a bear market does eventually hit. It'll be 2008/2009 all over again - privatize profit, and socialize loss.
My guess is that President Hillary would've spent 2017 skating circles around nonsensical Congressional investigations, while battling with Ryan and McConnell to get the ACA tweaked and stabilized, possibly giving up some ground on either tax cuts, or immigration reforms to do it. She'd work with China to deal with North Korea, and likely be a vociferous critic of Putin/Russia's chess game in the former Eastern Bloc. The only thing I think she'd be a bit of a wildcard on is Iran, but I think she knows that we can't just march in and take out that regime like we did Qaddafi's Libya.
EDIT: Oh, and the R's would've been forced to confirm a moderate Hillary pick for SCOTUS, instead of the right-of-Thomas nutjob we got.
