Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton said Friday that Republicans must decide to stand up to President Trump amid the ongoing probes into Russia's election meddling and its possible coordination with the Trump campaign.

"I believe that it really does come down both to the investigation that's going on and to whether Republicans will decide that they have to put our country before their party, and I hope that enough of them will decide to do that," Clinton said in an interview with Ellen DeGeneres when asked if she thought Trump could make it all four years.

In her first interview with DeGeneres since Trump's surprising victory over her in the 2016 election, Clinton bemoaned the presidency and the Republican agenda that she said will "hurt so many people." Clinton said when people ask her how she is after the loss, she answers that personally she's fine, "but as an American I'm really concerned."

"It's disturbing and it's obviously upsetting to me, because I see things happening around the world that are bad for our country that are dangerous that really pose a threat," she said.

3. The Tax Bill was jacked to benfit the Rich even more

today. Looks like the Rethugs are going to have a Major Retirement Party by March of next year. We now know,they will never go after Trump,they want the Dems to lead so they can run against those Impeachment Dems in 2020.

4. I think she's also referring to possible sedition,

and what would follow, by the WH and most of congress if Trump were to close down the investigation, the courts ordered it restored, and the Republicans refused.

A person of her stature talking directly about a possible coup, a shocking suggestion that the Republican Party could be considering setting aside the constitution, would be very unwise at this point and likely to stir up passions that could even conceivably precipitate it.

But many experts are very concerned. And Obama spoke only slightly obliquely of this danger just last week.

5. Not gonna happen anytime soon.

Standing up-right requires a spine.
