As Hillary said, she would have been a good president
No. No she wouldn’t have been. She would have been god-awful terrible. Just like Trump is god-awful terrible, but in a different way.
Just because Trump is a joke, and he is, does not mean she would have been good or better.
It was truly a lose-lose situation in this country.
Woah, I think that’s the first thing I agree with you on 😛
And another thing I disagree with both of you on.
If Trump has proven anything, it’s that those who said he would be god-awful terrible were more right than they feared, and those who said he’d be a funny meme who wouldn’t get anything done were very wrong (although thankfully as of today at least one thing has been narrowly prevented).
I cannot fathom how Clinton would have been in anyway worse or even a fraction as bad. Cannot at all.
Everything that people feared from her is showing up in spades. Lying through teeth? Check. Personal interests over country? Check. Lining pockets with foreign dollars? Check. High chance of starting a war or two? Check. Flagrant disregard for the needs of the working class? Check. Gross incompetence that threatens national security? Check. Goldman Sachs? Check. Keeping the swamp full of bureaucratic insiders? Check. Being too tired to put the in the hours necessary? Check.
I guess he isn’t murdering his critics* or running a kiddie porn ring out of a pizza place though.

I am inclined to agree with most of this. We will never know what an alternate timeline would have looked like.
If I take your post correctly, I would say I think you have an interesting line of thinking there in regards to how everything that the Trump / anti-Hillary decried as the evil and corrupt actions of Hillary, are almost all being actively enacted by the current administration. Is that due to the fact that Trump engages in the tactics of blaming your opponent with all his own faults (in order to make any retort look like childish mimicry)? If so, then shame on us all. I have a feeling that at least half of Trump voters knew that most of his attacks against rivals during the primaries and the election were “whataboutisms”. They knew he was deflecting and avoiding real discussion, but jumped on board regardless.
I still agree with what I posted right after the election. Trump is all talk (but terrible talk is still terrible), and it is the Republicans in Congress we need to keep an eye on (hopefully they will step up and become good leaders).
So far it looks like I was wrong in hoping for leadership to come from the Republicans. The fact that the terribly rushed ahca bill died yesterday is a good sign, but I am not holding my breath.
