Reality Check: Hillary has no intention of delivering on the gun control thing!
Hillary Clinton has no more intention of delivering on gun control than Barack Obama did. 1)It would require a Democratic Congress. The last thing in the world a 3rd way democrat wants is a Democratic Congress, because then they are expected to govern like Democrats. "Real Democrats" do stuff like defend the 99%, with high wages, a real public option, not to mention protecting social security. I mean "Bleck!" 3rd way dems don't do Dem stuff well, and don't want to.
Obama was much happier when he lost. Losing both houses, really took the heat off to do anything but pass free trade deals, and play golf. Things good Republicans like to do. 2) She actually takes money from gun lobbyists, and gun control would hurt rich people who make money from guns, particularly Arms dealers. The number one goal of a centrists is to protect rich people from having their profits hurt by laws ordinary people would like. It is just a campaign issue for her to run on, but she will not do anything on the matter. Her voters voted for endless gridlock whether they know it, or not. There will be many more mass shootings, before we have an opportunity to elect a progressive President and Congress again. Unless Bernie either breaks with the party, or we break with it and support Jill Stein, that is reality. I hope there is a loving God that answers all the prayers at all the vigils, that will happen.

Losing - not Loosing…
Thanks. I have vision issues
Thanks. I have vision issues, and don't catch those things sometimes.
Prayer is kinda blasphemous though...
After all, if there is a plan in place, and you pray for something going against that plan, then that's not actually being accepting of 'God's Plan'. Praying against the plan might even be enough to put one on the naughty list - whoops, that's Santa Claus, but anyway - whatever - all of that that is assuming the existence of the flying spaghetti monster to begin with.
And that's a dangerous thing to hope for - that all prayers get answered. People have told me some of the things they pray for and that's some horrible stuff they've wished for right there…so if there is a prayer/wish fulfillment cosmos service, there needs to be a filtering system in place for all those prayers out there.
Talk about a bureaucracy - no wonder churches take in so much money and don't want to be taxed. There are hidden fees in everything and this must be one of them they don't want made public.
You're allowed to ask, but not to demand. Like your parents
don't think to buy you ice cream until you ask.
So: "Oh Lord, please bring us a progressive government who will do away with the giant sea of guns, and/or please start causing explosive backfire in all the ones used to shoot people. I'm sure if You did this, more people would believe in Thee. But it is of course up to You. Thy will be done."

Well I am shocked, shocked I tell you.
But your thesis sure sounds reasonable. Lose both houses and go on being a pretend Democrat. Works all the way to the bank.

It is a reasonable thesis and the
"all the way to the bank" is on the money.
Obama never intended to deliver on his promises and Clinton is the anti-FDR(one of many).

It is why Bill loved it when the House flipped in 1994. IT allowed him to enact the agenda he wanted. This has been the Democratic Party's playbook. Elect D as president, then lose House, Senate, or both.

it goes well with the pretend election.

But Hillary has the experience to get shit done!
It has been ludicrous from the get go that Hillary claimed Bernie's health care plan was all unicorns and pixie dust, but she had the chops to get gun control through Congress.
"They'll say we're disturbing the peace, but there is no peace. What really bothers them is that we are disturbing the war." Howard Zinn
Ludicrous is the right word.
Bernie's healthcare plan would be a huge benefit to corporations as they would no longer be on the hook for employee healthcare. Supposedly, it won't pass. But somehow, magically, gun control will pass.
I marched in the Million Mom March in 2000. That was the last good chance to get sensible gun legislation passed and it failed miserably because of Bill Clinton's sexual shenanigans. There is no way in hell gun control will pass now or anytime in the foreseeable future, no matter how many mass murders occur.
They were going on at TOP a while back about how SHE can
get things done, so I responded, "Then do it. Right now. Obama just endorsed her, he can give her permission to go work with Congress. If she's campaigning at all right now, she's already in DC. Ryan just suffered a whole lot of blowback over his Trump support, so could be malleable. Pick an issue among the many she wants to address, any issue. Get it done now. Indisputably prove her skills, show up Trump, show that the reasonable Repubs are willing to do something other than obstruct, achieve something that benefits America, and be more electable. It's win-win-win-win. Since Obama has not been able to get things done, it will all accrue to her credit. She'll have plenty of issues remaining to be elected to solve"
Surprise not, the excuses rolled in.

Truer words were never spoken
This is why our "alleged democratic" Governor Cuomo (D-NY) in the past actually helped to get REPUBLICANS elected into the state senate, so that he wouldn't have to put up with those progressive policies making it to him.
Of course Cuomo and Clinton are close buds
When I was a kid, Republicans used to red scare people, now it's the Democrats. I am getting too damn old for this crap!
