Swap out Republicans for conservatives. Trump isn't a real conservative. Neither is Paul Ryan.

The reason all of that post bothers you is because it's all true. If false...it wouldn't bother you at all.

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.
If winning the popular vote had been the goal, both major candidates would have run different races and would have had totals unique to that type of race.

Again, another poor winner.

The PEOPLE decided for Clinton. Land mass decided for President Twitler.
Again, if the goal had been to win the overall popular vote, both major candidates would have run different races and would have had totals unique to that type of race.

Hillary could hardly walk and talk by the end of the campaign. The weight of her own corruption finally did her in.

We are still dancing........!

Hillary wasn't a strong candidate. She has been in politics for many years and has a track record. She made a mistake with she took a private server and called to put the miners out of a job. (Who does that?)I think we are done with Bushes and Clintons. Time to move on to better, stronger candidates. Bernie would have beat Trump.

Hit the nail right on the head.

How many drinks do you think she'd had when the "deplorable" comment faced reality.

looks like Democrats can't answer the question



if everything was great under Obama, why did anyone who ran on Obama's policies (except Obama himself) usually lose?


is it because maybe Obama himself was popular but not necessarily his policies?

She wasn't a strong candidate, but she was the best the Democrats had to offer. That tells you the dire straits today's Democrat Party is in. What an awful group of people.

She was a very weak candidate but she was the chosen candidate. Chosen by the party, by the donars, by the media. She was the Chosen One. No other Democratic candidate was ever going to receive the Democratic nomination. Not ever. No matter how popular another candidate was, no matter their polling numbers, no matter their policies, no matter the results of debates or their ability to make contact with the public or their fundraising ability or any other tangibles. It was supposed to be (and was) Clinton from the get-go.

Why?? I don't know. Why all the Democratic dirty tricks, all the lying, all the insider info, the fake polls, the paid protesters, the willingness of political operatives to deep-six their own personal and professional integrity, the willingness of the media to sabotage their own credibility - all to ensure a Clinton nomination? I do not know. But that's what happened.

And the facade of an honest, honorable, open democratic election process was shredded. We all saw it happen. We all know what happened. It was all there for all to see. Clinton HAD to be the nominee. Not anybody else.
