President Hillary Clinton

For John, BLUF:  This is alternative history (alt history).  Nothing to see here; just move along.

The Woman in the High Castle

From American Greatness, by Mr Roger Kimball, 5 March 2018.

Here is the lede plus one:

In a dystopian fantasy in The New York Times at the end of the year, the columnist Bret Stephens reminded us of the horror that might have been:

Tax cuts. Deregulation. More for the military; less for the United Nations.  The Islamic State crushed in its heartland.  Assad hit with cruise missiles.  Troops to Afghanistan.  Arms for Ukraine.  A tougher approach to North Korea.  Jerusalem recognized as Israel’s capital.  The Iran deal decertified.  Title IX kangaroo courts on campus condemned.  Yes to Keystone.  No to Paris.  Wall Street roaring and consumer confidence high. And, of course, Neil Gorsuch on the Supreme Court.

Thank God, as Stephens himself so forcefully predicted, Donald Trump was crushed in the November 2016 election and the nation was spared those and other right-wing depredations.

Instead, Hillary Rodham Clinton, in the landslide that everyone who was anyone predicted, was elected the 45th president of the United States and lost no time in fulfilling her campaign promises—and even going beyond what she had promised in many areas.

Yes, a President Hillary Clinton would be concerning.  And damaging to our Republic and our Freedoms, our Rights as Englishmen, in the name of making the nation better.
