Just like I am thankful for the fact that Trump won as opposed to a Cruz / Bush / Rubio. Republicans would be much further along in their unraveling of the social safety net and our Democracy in general had a more competent, less chaotic person won the White House.

I preferred and hoped HRC would win but that did not happen. Republicans have been laying the ground work for years to get in the position of complete control of the government they currently enjoy so they could roll back every social program enacted since FDR. It is only by republicans blind bad luck or our good luck that the person in charge once republicans got in control would sow so much chaos and discord that nothing can really get done.
