Hillary lost the election when she said that she wanted to put the 38,000 coal industry workers in PA out of a job.

It was a reminder to every working American that Hillary only holds contempt for them.

She has almost no content & no details. She blabs & blabs. Hillary is more polished & articulate...that I will give her credit.

The naivete' of the SJW juveniles, the "don't give a &^%$ " attitude of the permanent welfare crowd, and the hard-to-hide contempt shown by Obama and the Clintons all played a part.

Barry-O's WonderPets to the contrary, it would appear that teamwork backfired in this case.
Who switched their votes because of the deplorable comment? Nope not buying it.
The simplest explanation is usually the right one, in this case she was the wrong candidate, our system needed an injection of populism, she was the antithesis of that.

Default Attention white woman voters....sounds like it's your fault now that hil lost by your "internalized misogyny"

Just when you think the blame game can't get any more crazy!

And what a way to win friends/influence voters in future elections.

She lost in terms of touching the raw emotions of her base and the undecided. Remember hearing the phrase "enthusiasm gap?"

Does that sound about right to you?
I think we are in agreement. I did say she sounded more presidential. However, she failed to target specific people like Trump did. It became clear to me how people could vote for him and how her campaign could be in trouble. So when the media was in agreement that she won the debate, I did not agree because I considered who Trump may be targeting.

I don't think it was so much anyone switching their vote but maybe having people vote, in some cases, who might not.

Oh for the love of Pete. How about thinking women don't want her to be the first woman president? Maybe someone that doesn't cheat, lie, and manipulate their way to the top? I vote with my brain, not my vagina.
