Another Great Reason to Vote for Hillary Clinton

There are a lot of reasons to-she's the only person qualified to be President, as Obama says maybe the most qualified candidate to ever run; she's the sort of problem solving, incremental pragmatist who might be able to do more than simply affirm liberal's aspirations; and that she is the first female candidate to win a major party nomination is not a small source of appeal.

But this piece in the National Journal could be the best reason yet. A number of Tea Partiers vow to quit if she does win.

"Serve un­der Pres­id­ent Hil­lary Clin­ton? I’d rather quit."

"That’s what a few House Re­pub­lic­ans are start­ing to mur­mur as the cam­paign of their pre­sumptive pres­id­en­tial nom­in­ee, Don­ald Trump, sinks in­to a shambles. The feel­ing is par­tic­u­larly pre­val­ent among mem­bers of the his­tor­ic class of 2010, many of whom left private life to run for Con­gress and have spent the last six years block­ing Pres­id­ent Obama’s agenda."

"Rep. Mick Mul­vaney said that he, his South Car­o­lina col­league Trey Gowdy, and oth­er mem­bers of the class have openly talked about re­tir­ing after their next term ends if Clin­ton wins—not so much be­cause they don’t like her spe­cific­ally, but be­cause serving as a House Re­pub­lic­an un­der what they see as a third term of the Obama ad­min­is­tra­tion would be a thank­less job."

“If it’s go­ing to be a frus­trat­ing, some­times mean­ing­less task, there are bet­ter things to do,” Mul­vaney said. “Trey and I and a lot of oth­er folks who are sort of from our class … we’re sort of wait­ing to see how the elec­tion goes next Novem­ber.”

"The grow­ing frus­tra­tion of work­ing at cross-pur­poses with a Demo­crat­ic pres­id­ent comes as Speak­er Paul Ry­an pre­pares this week to un­veil the fi­nal por­tions of a five-part House GOP agenda meant to show the pub­lic what Con­gress would do with a Re­pub­lic­an in the White House. Ry­an has said the agenda is aimed at quelling the cri­ti­cism from some quar­ters that con­gres­sion­al Re­pub­lic­ans have defined them­selves only by what they are against, not by what they would do with the power they have sought."

"But that Re­pub­lic­an vis­ion would be for naught if Clin­ton is elec­ted. What’s more, Re­pub­lic­an con­stitu­ents would be frus­trated once again by empty prom­ises from their lead­ers, said one House Re­pub­lic­an who took of­fice in 2010 and who re­ques­ted an­onym­ity so he could dis­cuss his col­leagues’ fu­tures frankly. The mem­ber said those who first took of­fice in the 112th Con­gress have spent the last six years show­ing the Amer­ic­an pub­lic that they want to stop Obama­care, the Dodd-Frank fin­an­cial-re­form law, and oth­er sig­na­ture Obama-era policies. Now the pub­lic wants to see ac­tion, the mem­ber said, and ac­tion would be nearly im­possible if Clin­ton is elec­ted."

“If that hap­pens, I think where will be a mass ex­odus,” the mem­ber said. “Our class was an un­usu­al class of out­siders. They un­der­stand that there’s so much more to life than serving in Con­gress. And if they have to spend eight years of that life keep­ing their fin­gers in the dyke in­stead of be­ing able to ac­tu­ally cre­ate new policies, they’re not go­ing to do it. They’re go­ing to let someone else do it.”

If that isn't enough to get you excited about voting for Hillary Clinton, nothing will

It's enough that it's a vote to avoid an existential threat to the Republic. Even some conservative pundits have come to describe a President Hillary as a 'survivable event.'

UPDATE: I think the phrase itself 'survivable event' is a coinage of Tom Brown.

But if the Tea Partiers from 2010 flee over President Hillary that just makes the case for President Hillary all the more compelling.
