Hillary Clinton is a two-time Democratic presidential contender and a 2016 nominee who has severe contempt for the current president.
On a podcast Monday, Clinton said that the idea of President Donald Trump winning a second term makes her “literally sick to my stomach.”
“I can’t entertain the idea of him winning, so let’s just preface it by that,” Clinton told journalist Kara Swisher on her podcast.
Well, because it makes me literally sick to my stomach to think that we’d have four more years of this abuse and destruction of our institutions, and damaging of our norms and our values, and lessening of our leadership, and the list goes on.”
The podcast hosts asked the former Secretary of State if she is afraid President Trump would seek to legally go after her. Clinton has committed many heinous crimes over the years which she has yet to receive consequences for.
“There’s no doubt that he would do everything he could to attack and punish anyone who was, in his view, an adversary,” Clinton said. “And he would be aided and abetted, sadly, by both elected and appointed officials.”
So, of course, one of the most important accomplishments that I hope we see in this election is a Democratic Senate, where that would be the check that we would need against further abuse of power,” she continued.
Clinton said Trump “lives with this specter of illegitimacy” over the 2016 election, which she lost.
“I don’t think he has any boundaries at all, Kara,” she said. “I don’t think he has any conscience. He’s obviously not a moral, truthful man. So he will do whatever he can to lift himself up. And remember, as I said, he lives with this specter of illegitimacy. He knows more about how he got really elected than we still do. Hopefully, we’ll learn more in the years ahead.”
Clinton has spent the president’s first term bashing him and his supporters.
Donald Trump has demonstrated repeatedly that his first allegiance is not to the United States of America.

President Trump has not forgotten about her crimes, however. During a rally on Wednesday, he called her out by name.
“Somebody said, ‘Sir, maybe this isn’t good. President Obama’s campaigning for Sleepy Joe Biden.’ I said, ‘That’s good news or bad news? Tell me, are you saying it’s good or it’s bad?’ ‘Well, I guess it’s bad.’ No, it’s good,” Trump said at the rally. “There is nobody that campaigned harder for ‘crooked’ Hillary Clinton than Obama. He was all over the place.”
