I can understand why Hillary might let him come ... but I think he should be tossed on the trash heap of history.

In fact, after she takes office, I personally hope she steps on the GOP's throat.

but I think Trump should be in attendance just as a visual of the continuity of our government.

I concur with your suggestion, JoePhilly.

When Hillary Clinton becomes our president, hopefully with a Democratic Senate and maybe a Democratic House, I hope she plays hardball. There is no reason to try to be bipartisan. The Republicans have screwed Democrats at every turn. It's time for payback.

I'm with her. ===>

He'd want to bring a few women. As long as they're willing to accuse Bill Clinton of Trump-like behavior.

Trump is a vengeful, bitter man. But Pres and Mrs Obama will greet the Clinton's on the steps of the white house.

has fomented so much hate, it would the Clintons and Obamas at risk. So no he should absolutely not be there.

The gore's and Kerry's didn't go to bush 's. Bush senior didn't go to Clinton's. Dole didn't go to Clinton's. I think once they "lose" that's it. Even previous presidents don't go to new presidents inaugurals.
