Here's what we would get from President Hillary:
* At least one liberal judge on the Supreme Court, and possibly two or even three, titling the court to the left for at least the next 10-15 years. Some key cases involving religious freedom, gun rights, labor unions/labor laws, and school choice have been 5-4 (or 4-4). Those decisions would likely get reversed with the court's balance being shifted to the left. (Trump has pledged to nominate conservative judges and has even released a list of 11 outstanding conservative judges from which he would pick his nominees.)
* More debt and more deficit spending. If Hillary tries to do even one-fourth of the things she's promised during the campaign so far, there will be no serious effort to end deficit spending and we will keep going further and further into debt. Hillary never even mentions the debt or the deficit in her speeches and only talks about them when she's asked about them, which is rarely. (Trump talks about the debt all the time and has vowed to halt our slide toward bankruptcy and to begin to move toward a balanced budget, mainly through spending cuts, better trade policy, and ending the tens of billions of dollars in federal waste.)
* A push to raise taxes by $1 trillion (according to her own campaign statements) and no tax cut for the middle class, no tax relief for small businesses, no cut in the corporate income tax, no cut in the death tax, and no cut in the capital gains tax. (Trump, who has a long history of backing tax cuts, wants to cut the capital gains tax, end the death tax, cut middle-class taxes, and cut the corporate income tax.)
* A continuation of Obama's open borders immigration policy, no end to sanctuary cities, no securing of the border, no end to the baseless and suicidal anchor baby policy, and a push to grant illegals a pathway to citizenship. (Needless to say, Trump would be the polar opposite on these issues.)
* No modification, much less repealing, of Dodd-Frank and thus no regulatory relief for small and mid-sized banks and credit unions. Go ask those banks and credit unions about the senseless added costs from Dodd-Frank, a bill that was basically written by lobbyists for the big banks. (Trump has railed against Dodd-Frank and has pledged to vastly reduce federal regulations on businesses.)
* A push to end gun making in America. Hillary has vowed to remove the liability protection that American gun makers currently--and quite justifiably--have in law. Removing liability protection would enable people to sue a gun maker if they or a family were injured by a gun, even if the gun were not defective and the gun were legally sold and purchased. This would very quickly shut down gun making in this country. It would be like allowing people to sue auto makers if they were injured by a car, even if the car were not defective. (Trump opposes removing liability protection for gun makers.)
* A continuation of the Democratic Party's war on religious freedom and a continuation of the gay rights agenda, including Obama's recent edict on transgender bathroom access. (Trump has attacked Obama's assault on the Little Sisters of the Poor and has vowed to appoint conservative judges. Trump also opposes Obama's transgender edict and says the issue should be handled only by the states.)
* A continuation of Obama's war on coal and war on drilling on public lands, not to mention a continuation of the peddling of the man-made global warming scam. (Trump has long supported more oil drilling on all lands, public and private, has vowed to halt the war on coal, has expressed skepticism about some climate-change claims, and has appointed a leading climate change skeptic--Rep. Cramer--as his point man on energy policy.)
* A continuation of Bill Clinton's globalist NAFTA deal and other job-killing trade agreements. Now, Sanders might extract a promise of some modification to our current suicidal trade policy as a condition of his endorsement, but Hillary is a longtime, ardent globalist on trade, and it is unlikely that she would make any serious, substantive changes to our trade policy. She certainly would not repeal NAFTA or TPA. She might slightly tweak them, but that would be it. (Trump has opposed globalist trade policy forever and ever. He opposed NAFTA and opposes TPP and TPA. He has always been an Abraham Lincoln, Robert Taft Republican on trade. Always. He would do all he could to stop the bleeding of American factories moving overseas and would insist on much better trade terms with staunchly protectionist nations like China, South Korea, and Mexico.)
* A continuation of Obama's dangerous policy of settling Syrian and other Arab refugees in America, even though our intelligence leaders have made it clear that we can't properly screen them. (Trump, as is well known, wisely and sanely argues that we need a temporary halt to Muslim travel to the U.S. until we can figure out how to properly screen them. The terrorist attack in San Bernardino painfully proved that our current screening process is dangerously insufficient.)
I could go on, but I think you get the idea.
