The same extends to the Democrats if Trump is elected. I truly hope that the core foundations of our democracy continues to guide each and every representative in the execution of their duties, and the sheer negativity of this race will be enough motivation to do so. The country hit a new low in this election cycle, I hope the representatives follow the high road. This is my hope and I place what little faith I have left in the system in the hands of these men and women to do the right thing, for all Americans.
If our representatives can behave like adults then there is hope for preventing a Clinton term from turning into a non-stop gong show of legislative process and procedure abuses. If they do their jobs they can prevent a Trump presidency turning into the authoritarian regime that many pundits fear. Congress is more important than the presidency in this regard, as they are one of the checks and balances in the system that allows the system to work. If they fail to properly execute their duties, and act like adults, then we have huge problems ahead.

Well let's see if HRC can hold up her end of the bargain. If she overreaches like Obama did with executive actions, the GOP will have every right to halt her agenda.
