I found this satire piece to be absolutely delightful, capturing the potential rage that Hilary kept under wraps after it was announced that Trump won. It was a disappointing time, as that orange clown got the better of a far more fit person to serve in office.

That's not how dynasties work. Hillary was Bill Clinton's peer. She was an influence for why he got into politics, she pushed universal healthcare from early in the 90s, and she was elected to the US senate twice.

Stop comparing her to anyone's child, and slap anyone suggesting Michelle Obama get involved.

Honestly I was willing to accept Michelle Obama back when Biden was the nominee, because she had better odds of beating Trump than Biden did. They just need to be more competent than Trump, so... pretty much anyone.

You lived through 2016 and still think 'smarter than The Idiot' is the only factor?

No, I think likelihood of beating the idiot matters too.
