So, let's assume Hillary is elected President. What will her presidency look like?

Firstly, what are the chances of the Democrats taking over the Senate in these elections? If they are not too good, then she will be faced with obstruction from day one - something that is quite rare in US history, I believe. Usually, presidents who were straightjacked domestically started wars and otherwise tried to shine internationally - will Hillary try to do so, and if so, what will be the key avenues of her activity?

I presume it will be basically a continuation of the previous administration.

Seems a slightly better than 50% chance she will have the Senate locked up.  House will remain GOP and Seedy will whine about gerrymandering or something.

I like her for the same reasons I like Gordon Brown. So everything will go swimmingly :)
Let's bomb Russia!

Mostly this.

But she has shown a much greater willingness to use military forces.  I doubt we'd see a repeat of Obama's backdown from the Syrian red line.  And Putin is bound to try and test her on a few fronts.

More wars.  Just what we need.

Her husband just bombed people and avoided using ground forces at any cost, even if the cost was blowing up the Chinese Embassy. So hopefully we will be cool.

It's been proven that ghettos work.

In the long run, wars make us safer&richer.

Never thought you'd join the camp of the defeatocrats, though. ;)

Which reminds me;  back in 2004, Hansmeister told us he'd resign his commission in the military if John Kerry got elected--he was that much of a threat to surrendering American democracy to the EvildoersTM.

What's he going to do with a President Hillary Clinton? Active shooter? Fertilizer bomb? Harikari? Gender reassignment?  Update his blog?  Any guesses?
