It is delusional of someone to believe that the Supreme Court will reverse their Citizens United decision since both Republicans and Democrats love access to unlimited money. Money is power and will all but prevent the rise of a third party or an independent candidate.

On other decisions the court will certainly be more liberal.

But Hillary says she'll get rid of it because it came about as a result of a movie about her.

It is a certainty that the House which I predict will remain in the GOP hands for the next four years, is not going to propose legislation diluting or reversing provisions of Citizens United. So much for Hillary's promise to the other 50%.

I see the Sacred Brotherhood of the Perpetually Aggrieved are in a fine fettle this morning...

Hillary's going to need more than two baskets once she wins in November.

Personally, I'd be content with a Clinton presidency but it looks increasingly like there isn't going to be a Clinton Presidency.

Life's a bitch when others don't want to think like you. Ask any two year old.
Our daughter when she turned two thought she had a neat trick by asking me to say yes before she asked me for something.

PS: I politely suggested that Citizens United will not be reversed since it serves both parties.
Further I predicted that since the House will remain GOP, they will not propose legislation to reverse Citizens United.
And for my efforts I am diagnosed as aggrieved and the one man Hillary Marching Band shoots blanks. Ces't la vie.

Oh ye of little faith. She's got this, brother John.

Right now the denizens of the rightwing blogosphere are losing their minds over Hillz putting them in baskets at that LGBT shindig last night. You can almost hear them 'sploding all across the fruited plain today.

So, it's a good thing that she called 25% of the voting populace irredeemably deplorable and not "America"?

Hmmmm....... Maybe hiding out wasn't such a bad strategy after all.

Peeling off the non-deplorables in the GOP seems like a good thing to me, YMMV.
