Considering the GOP would probably still have won a ton of seats even if Clinton took the big prize, getting this kind of thing approved could take a very long time and a lot of effort. It seems like a rash plan, but she had to say something strong on the ISIS front to counter Trump's "number one tricky" plan of "getting rid of ISIS in 30 days." She was waging a war of sound bites by October, as we all know, and losing badly.
