So now we get recounts & stories about Russians.

True. The Democratic party needs to leave the Acela Belt and West Coast, and spend the next 4 years in mainstream, middle America. Places where they care about keeping Carrier jobs far more than about Johnnie being able to use the same bathroom as Joanie.

Clinton never thought she was actually going to have to "run" for office at all, she assumed it was going be a coronation. Why woulld she have to dirty her princess hands on asking the plebs for their vote? Her arrogance and condescention became apparent to us and I'm thankfull that Trump is the winner.

Looks now, that if they had listened to Bubba, she might be President-Elect.

I agree that was defiantly a large mistake on their part.

My other thought on this was that Hillary and Mook had built a strategy of defeating a mainstream candidate like JEB, Rubio, and Ted Cruz. They were totally unprepared for Trump and didn't know how to nail him with their typical political tools.

In fairness, when your hubby passed NAFA which most harmed the Rust Belt, what do you say to displaced workers about that vote to win them over? She reaped what Bubba sowed.
