Yep, Hillary Clinton won 2nd place in the bid for POTUS. No ribbon for that!

Imagine how angry some of the big stakeholders are!

WAY too much being read into this. 2020 is four years and 300 scandals by both parties away.

Democrat Donors Turn on Their Party: Feel Like Their Money GOT BURNED In Hillary's Stunning Loss
Too bad this come out BEFORE the dems in the House voted for Pelosi.

IMO, the ONLY reason why she was re-elected was her ability to raise money for the party.

With the dem party LOOSING 900 seats under her watch she SHOULD have been "fired".

This is one of the truly satisfying results of this election. The Democrats, in addition to being the party of race hate, class hate, etc, are the party of big money. Those rich radical wannabes gave a lot, probably not much compared to their bankrolls, but they like to get a return on their money and don't want to be made to look like the fools they are. It's wonderful to see them get kicked.

I have no sympathy for those mega-rich donors. They couldn't see what a train wreck Hillary was, then they got what they deserved.

One thing in the article that got me laughing was this:

It’s also a worry for top liberal activists as they prepare for war with President-elect Donald Trump and a GOP Congress that is hell-bent on rolling back President Obama’s accomplishments.
----------------------------------------------------------------

Accomplishments? What did he accomplish? What did he do that wasn't a total disaster? I will be happy to see Trump and congress "roll back" Obama's so-called accomplishments

Next time either save your money or go to Vegas.

^^^^This reminds me of a joke that the late Garry Shandling once told. I'll paraphrase it --- He said that every time he goes to Las Vegas and is in the cab on his way to his hotel, he feels like he should open the cab window and just throw his money out into the street. In other words, it was the equivalent as to what happens when one gambles. Hillary's supporters might as well have thrown their money out the limo window LOL!

All the money those delusional, radical donors wasted could have been put to good use helping the American people.

They got what they truly deserved for their arrogance, unrighteousness and selfish ways!

They need to get over it and take a look at themselves. While Trump was very unpopular, the Democrat Donors shouldn't have been stupid enough to throw their money at a woman equally as unpopular. Bernie Sanders was who they should have supported, since they didn't, they got what they deserved.

They thought they were buying an election and a candidate that would "play ball" in their best interests.

I'm sure they were told it was all locked up and a sure thing.

I can see why they are so upset.

What exactly is the point of this thread and why is it any different than the Romney 2012 threads..... other than the fact that it was you conservatives throwing your own candidate onto the fire back then ????

Plus she won all the women, minorities, big states, millenials, and the perpetually offended. They got their money's worth in my mind. They killed it in the pre-game. They successfully demonized the 60 million that voted for Trump as Deplorable people.


Plus Trump won and the markets are skyrocketing. What more could they want?
