It would not have changed the outcome

Republican have sold out since the sunt they pulled with Garland . They seek unlimited un accountable power by delegitimizing the press social norms and expected Presidential behavior.. now its all for ratings in the base

The democrats would like a more socialist nation. Not a good idea, except for those who wish the government would take care of all their needs. Recall an Obama clip in a democrat home. He asked the woman of the house "what can the government do for you?"
The reply? "I need a new kitchen", she said... Obama, "we'll get you a new kitchen"... If the government would run a surplus, we could supply all the kitchen's needed.

Interest rates are too low. But we (USA) owe so much, an increase would would quickly increase our nat'l debt. We need increased capitalism that generates more jobs that increase tax collection for a long period to reduce that debt. Republicans more likely to deliver on that than Democrats over the longer term. Current Admin increases Geo-polititical risk, but our military (bless them) footprint relatively small at the moment.

Real risk to peace, long term, is the spread of Islam... yes, it is. We (Gov) don't seem to know if we support Sunni or Shia interests. We fight Sunni Al-Qaeda, but support Saudi Arabia. We take out Shia General and try to contain Iran, while supporting Shia Iraq, weird. Both Shia and Sunni, have it out for any state that is not Muslim because that what Islam teaches. Even Russia and Ukraine struggle with "domestic terrorism" in the form of radical Islamic influence.
Jeepers... Can you tell I'm retired with lots of time to read and research? Bruins are on... what a second period against Winnipeg!!
I hope you all have a great weekend and watch the Super Bowl to have some fun.

Bernie is likely to win Iowa and for sure NH, and you deny that the current democrat party is becoming more socialist.

Trump has unlimited power? he did away with checks and
balances and the supreme court? for god’s sake, if he had unlimited power, would he let CNN exist??
