Well she wouldn’t have needed to, it would have been already there if she had replaced Obama. If the Republicans controlled Congress then I am pretty sure she’d have vetoed any attempts to repeal it.
As I said before, Clinton is the sort of politician that doesn’t really believe in anything, but she has an eye on legacy. She might have failed to get anything through, but her attention would have been on getting policies through that would cement her legacy. As a left (American left
) wing politician, that would have been something like healthcare, gun control, fairer taxes etc.
I don’t think she is a particularly nice person and I don’t think she’d have been as good for ordinary Americans as Sanders, but she would have been better than Trump. Much much better.
