Although highly unlikely (and I mean that without the usual partisanship) what would we expect from a republican gaining the WH in 2017:
1. We should expect yet another war in Iraq, involving our soldiers with the expectation of considerable more deaths (mindful that we have basically armed ISIS and they would be even more battle-hardened than they were in 2003,) and we should expect another $1 trillion to be spent in an endless cause without a foreseeable “victory."
2. We should also expect the Keystone XL Pipeline to be implemented…..The recent spillage in California from such a pipeline….which took several hours to be shut-off….should be an indication of just how “safe” the industry tells us that such pipelines may be.
3. We should also expect for at least one supreme court justice to be appointed and seated, with the same ideology as Scalia, Thomas and Alito…..If this were to happen, the expectation of the overturning of Roe v. Wade would come to fruition and we should also expect that additional decisions a-la Citizen United would come about.
If you are a hard-core ultra conservative, you would welcome such expectation, but if you are a moderate republican, you should ALSO be worried.
