Curious, would you give the three biggest reasons you think a H. Clinton presidency would be a travesty?

There are a number of reasons, but I would say the largest is that absolutely nothing would get done. The country is heavily divided (Dem, Rep) and there is no way Republicans would allow anything to come of another Clinton presidency. Just out of sheer hatred and spite, even if she could pull off a decent run, there would be absolutely no way. That said, I personally believe she is unfit for the job, she has little political success to ride on and she has shown a lot of weakness when shit gets real. I don't think she would be able to hold it together for an entire term. She is currently just saying anything to pull Bernie supporters but she doesn't seem to have a legitimate means to actually accomplish anything. I think once the field is narrowed to her and Trump, she will fall apart and Trump will take it with a landslide. It would be much more interesting if it was Trump and Sanders.
