http://www.politico.com/story/2016/08/hillary-clinton-presidency-gop-plan-227427Hillary Clinton has managed to win support from Republicans without conceding any part of the progressive economic agenda she outlined during the Democratic primary.
But with fall approaching and momentum on Clintons side, Democrats and Republicans alike are looking over the horizon to a thornier reality: If elected, Clinton would likely become the first Democrat since Grover Cleveland to enter office without control of both houses of Congress.
That means the bipartisan show of support she has now thanks to Donald Trump and the alt-right, conspiracy-driven campaign Clinton attacked Thursday in Reno, Nevada is likely to evaporate as soon as the race is called. If she wins the presidency, Clinton would likely enjoy the shortest honeymoon period of any incoming commander in chief in recent history, according to Washington strategists, confronting major roadblocks to enacting her ambitious agenda, as well as Republican attacks that have been muted courtesy of the GOP nominee.

(9,148 posts)That we even have a near possibility of both is pretty remarkable considering where we started out, just over a year ago.
GOTV is necessary to change the Republican game for a long time to come.
As President, HRC with a Repub majority, will accomplish little of her outstanding goals in making America function again.
We have to get rid of as many Senators & Reps as we can for a fighting chance at challenging the Repub majority.
And if we should walk away with a Dem majority on Nov 8th, we will be a better country for it.
