A Republicab controlled Congress and Senate, and Trump will do nothing to stop them from passing legislation that unfairly benefits Wall Street, Billionaires, and big money corporate interests. (To be fair, I'm not sure Hillary will stem this tide much either, but I like her chances better than the GOP candidates) He also will do nothing to keep a GOP-led Congress/Senate from repealing the Affordable Care Act and leaving millions without adequate healthcare. He won't stop them from defunding Planned Parenthood, then leaving those without healthcare from accessing basic reproductive services. He won't stop them from attempting to change marriage equality and certainly won't help further LGBT interests. He won't do anything to further prison reform.
Most importantly, he'll likely bring in multiple Supreme Court judges who will lean right, thus leaving America in the hands of judges who think Citizens United was a wonderful idea.
Wanting a democrat in office is about so much more than just Hillary.
