If Hillary becomes president, the Republicans are screwed for a long, long time. The Dems already have about 90% of the African American vote, and if they elect the first woman president even more women will be in their corner.

The Republicans need to become more moderate, or they will digress or they will eventually become completely marginalized.

And entitlement. Which, come to think of it, is the same thing.

Default Clinton is Damage Goods.

Republicans just need to present out best candidate period. I do care if they male or female, white or black or brown. Just have a plan do your work !

Hilary Clinton is way over rated and is at the end of the day damage goods!
