Because clearly the Democratic policies of pushing welfare, over jobs, has worked so well for the nation..

Even you didn't believe Obama, I'm surprised. He said no hacking because the voting machines were no connected to the Internet.

The Limousine Liberals were living in a bubble. Although they had the press, celebrities and every publication of notoriety in their favor--the people weren't buying it, they were the ones living in reality.

When you have the most favorable President in 50 years as your husband advocating for you...

The Current sitting and first minority President taking his last 6 months in office campaigning for you...

in addition to a former Republican President (George HW Bush), another former Democratic President (Jimmy Carter) and the last Republican President (GWB) refusing to support the current candidate IN ADDITION TO the last Republican candidate (Mitt Romney) actively undermining the current candidate....

Along with....

Every major Newspaper, "Elite" Institution of Higher Learning, Political Journal, notable Professor, Political Scientist, and Nobel Prize Winner backing you...

AND....

Every major Celebrity from Beyonce, to Lady Gaga, to Robert Dinero and a ton of others activly performing and literally elling people to vote for you....

AND

Every talk Show host, talk show forum, political comedian commentator...every day time show, along with every night time show telling you to vote for her, AND they openly telling everyone not to vote for Trump, all day every day on every channel......

AND as.....

Former Political titles as a US NY Senator and Secretary of State and a record spending 2.5 BILLION dollars (US currency) and....YET....



you still LOSE!


Clearly there is a split between what most Americans wanted and what the liberal elite wanted.

Simply put, they were just out of touch with America, and the results back that up.
Good God you are one ungracious winner. I have never seen the like.

And, NO, they were not out of touch with America ~ please take a look at the popular vote. They were in touch with the EC.

Again, another poor winner.

The PEOPLE decided for Clinton. Land mass decided for President Twitler.

Yes, he did, does not change the fact that he won with only 27% of the registered voters, live with the fact that you have no mandate.

1. Mandate refers to the presidential election. Given the rate at which he lost the popular vote - Trump has NO mandate.

2. Republican controlled presidency, house, and Senate means that for the first time in a LONG time - Republicans actually have to PRODUCE. They'd best do one hell of a lot better than the LAST Republican president.
