No , what I ' m saying is that things would be bad under Clinton , but people wouldn ' t necessarily realise it en masse because she has a polished public persona . If she sold out the jobs of the working class to China , only the people directly affected would notice . People in the big cities wouldn ' t know or give a dang , and the mainstream media would be virtually silent about it . In effect , people would be under the assumption that she was being a good president because she also might have done something good but less impactful for , say , minorities . Something which is good but which doesn ' t stir the pot for her wealthy donors . As Sanders put it , preserving the status quo . Overall , I agree that Trump will be a worse president than Clinton would be . But I think the negative impact of a hypothetical Clinton presidency would leave a more lasting mark on the world . He ' d mess up things that could likely be reverted by the next president . Hillary would do things like cause irreperable damage to the MiddleEast .
