Constitutionally, the president has little power over local issues but, since FDR, the federal government has usurped many powers over local affairs, far beyond it's mandate. The biggest hammer is the distribution of federal funds but there are also regulatory agencies that have vast powers to overturn local laws and policies. When I wrote that I thought he'd lost overall. I'll rewrite it. Does Hillary's party have any powers? Sure, the democrats are still strong and the majority in many states. They still have votes in the house and senate. |

They still have votes in the house and senate. Their biggest strength nationally is in the Senate. IDK what the final outcome of the Senate is, looks like the GOP has 51, with Louisiana still up for grabs in a runoff. But with the Senate, it seems the GOP under that moron Mitch McConnell, couldn't get anything done even with a several seat majority. The Democrats just use Senate rules to block anything from getting done. Seems that with out a super majority, you can't even bring up bills for a vote. How that is allowed to go on, IDK. Maybe Trump can fix that too. But otherwise, to move anything through the Senate, it looks like you need at least some Democrat votes. |

Did flip between channels and saw the sour grapes exhibited by those expected with maybe exception of George Stephanopoulos who was not that bad but when I googled his name to spell check it see that his wife said 3 days ago that they were leaving America if Trump won A bunch of the effete elite said that they would leave https://duckduckgo.com/?q=leave+amer...t=ffsb&ia=news I hope they do. yeah! As long as it is YOUR doctor, and YOUR lawyer, and YOUR cancer specialist that leaves, I guess mabee it might be a good thing for you???
