I do hope Hillary grows up and accepts full responsibility for her loss. I had a colleague who would tell his subordinates and peers when explaining mistakes everything after the "But" is bull, and that is how HRC's excuse tour appears at this point.

All preceding nominees who lost put their Big Boy Underwear on and conceded Election Night (except 2000 and that one wasn't clear cut). In 2016, our First female nominee could not put on her Big Girl Underwear that night , be mature and concede as is the American custom. Her immaturity continues to this day. It harms all future female candidates. As it should.

You know, if you Hillary Haters are so askeered of her - and that's the bottomline...

I will tell you there's going to be a whole cavalcade of Democratic women candidates - not just for President but to replace all those shiftless republicans in Congress come 2018 and 2020.

I'm not sure you have enough lies and fake stories to blanket them all.

You better start now.

Personal anecdote that I find mildly amusing given the current discussion: Many years ago, my new husband and I were with a casual friend and the subject of a recent presidential election came up. My husband revealed, for reasons that remain a mystery to me, that we had voted for different candidates. The friend turned to my husband and said, "And you let her?" My husband guffawed and replied, "Have you met her?" Poor Steve. He had no idea. BTW, I did vote for Hillary in this past election, and so did my husband. We're both still mystified by how Trump won office.

This is spot on, and is exactly my thoughts as well. She is a bitter, angry, unfulfilled, envious person. It would benefit her to use her wealth to do good works, and try to help people, and devote time, and energy to something like that. If not, she is just going to eat herself alive, and die an angry, horrid shell of a person.

Granted, I live in a relatively comfortable, conservative suburban enclave in NW NJ so maybe it's different in the more urban or working class areas.

They said ho I'll beat you cross the trailer, beeatch. You surely live in a bubble because that is all they do all the time in those nasty urban and working class areas. Suburbs are so perfect, with no controlling partners, abuse or domestic issues ever.

Many states like ours is going to Vote by Mail. There always is concern that a family member fills out another family members ballot and mails it.

A federal offense.

Here - the biggest offenders are "missionary moms". Their kids are off on missions - and they get their ballot in the mail. In these instances ballots can be directly emailed to the missionary and returned by same.

I would bet that it happens in other households more than people would like to admit.

I would NEVER do that. One of my kids will have her ballot delivered to our home while she is away at college. I will drive up and hand deliver it to her, so she can fill it out and then accompany her to the appropriate drop-off site. Vote on her behalf? Never. Never. Never.

In "traditional" America the man rules the roost to some degree. This is even more so among many religions.

I don't think Hillary is trying to win points. She's rather trying to analyze our crazy country.
Most of us women don't live in a "traditional marriage" many of us married knowing we were just as much a part of making choices as our husbands are. If fights broke out between two people over who they were voting for, one has to ask, were there problems from the beginning. Two people I always found funny, James Carville and Mary Matalin, now if those 2 can make a marriage work, then others can do the same.


As for the daughter you mentioned......yes, Hillary has been a wonderful role model for young girls. I keep hearing from parents how their own daughters have come home saying they'll "resist" homework and chores, such a wonderful President she would have made! I thought we were to tell our children we may not have voted for him, but respect is the important part of those holding the President position, or did this little message only apply during President Obama's term?
