Not claiming anything. I consider it a distraction and won't be sucked in by the misdirection. As I have repeated ad nauseam the election was about Trumps failings not her successes. I fully suspect that had she been elected she'd have pulled in very competent people to support her Presidency, like a good leader should, unlike the kow-towing band of dim wits and sycophants Trump selected. Nor would she have destroyed NATO, weakened our Democracy, or sucked up to Putin. Mostly she'd have held the line for a while is my guess. And yes the deficit sky would continue to fall and our bloated bureaucracy would still be working from home etc. etc. But at least when better leaders arrived things would still be repairable. I'm actually surprised you're so excitable. Stay chilly, Democrats are no more of an immediate danger than that asteroid coming by in 8 years or the millions of others that pass by all of the time.

Republicans have been crying "wolf" about this since Reagan's time, but the ground has yet to materialize. “What's past is prologue"; Shakespeare (The Tempest)

Thoughts and prayers. Wendy P.

One day, after a decade of practicing medicine, a gynecologist decided he was bored with his job and wanted a change. He realized that he had spent many years working with his hands, and so he decided he would switch to a career that would also require the use of his hands. Not wanting the stress of being a medical professional, he decided to attend vocational school to learn to be an automotive mechanic. He worked really hard and studied day and night. But when the results of his final exam came in, he was quite perplexed: he got a 150% on the test. The doctor figured this had to be a mistake so he called his instructor at the vocational school. Doc: "there must be some mistake. It says I got a 150% on the final exam. Could you explain why my score was so high?" Instructor: "well, for the first part of the test you disassembled the car's engine perfectly. That counts for 50 points on your test." "You then reassembled the engine perfectly. That got you another 50 points." "But the last 50 points are bonus points, because none of us instructors have ever seen anyone do all of that by working exclusively through the exhaust pipe."

Except for 1835 and 1836 the USA has had continuous federal debt since it borrowed from France to pay for the revolutionary war. The sky hasn't fallen.

He's not right.
