“Extremist ideologies are on the rise, and adding to the tumult is the fact that the forces that undermined America’s election in 2016, are still with us, threatening other democracies, including this one,” Clinton said in a speech at England’s University of Oxford on Monday.

The media lying about her emails being important, unfair investigations by the FBI and interference by the Kremlin all led to Trump winning the election, Clinton complained.

didn't Hillary Clinton have a billion dollar campaign, the Obama administration, most of the news media, never Trump Republicans, and Hollywood to help fight the supposed "fake news" that cost her the election? Why wasn't that enough? Should she have spent ten billion instead?

It was hers to lose. She should have campaigned her butt off like Trump did and have a better message.

Trump was going to "Make America Great Again" that means for everyone of all races creeds and religions as long as you are legally in the country. There is nothing wrong with that.



What was Hillarys' slogan ? "I'm with her" "vote with your vagina" "more of the same" ?



It was hers to lose and boy did she ever.

Didn't Obama already say that Russians did NOT affect the outcome of the election? Sad day for Hillary when the truth really sinks in, its not us... its YOU!

I didn't like either of them but thought she as the less crazy candiate by far. I sincerely believe we would have been better off with her winning.

That said she's always been an unlikeable figure and was a weak candidate. Some of what she listed was a factor but she was always a hard sell.

I really wish she'd stop talking about this in public. It does not help.

Why vote for someone you actually don't like? No 3rd party candidates available that you did like? Write in?

Less crazy is still crazy. You do realize that the more people that have been justifying this vote for the lesser of two evils are part of the reason we have such terrible candidates? You endorse the idea that someone awful is still OK, and the bar is progressively lowered every election cycle. If you thought 2016 was bad, just wait and see what "choices" we are given in 2020, its going to get worse before it gets better.

Anyone remember Gordon Lightfoot? This is a very funny parody of one of his hit songs, The Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald. Over a million views!

....and she should have listened to her husband (especially about where to campaign) instead of listening to Robby Mook.

I didn't like any third party candidates enough to vote for them and Hillary's crazy is of the "overblown ego tied to outsized ambition combined with massive since of entitlement" kind. In short, typical politician but on steroids.

This electtion was about what was going to happen to actual government itself, to the judiciary, to our institutions and world relationships, etc. All of that was way more important to me than some "OMG why do I have to pick among these losers" nonsense. Those were the choices, and I had to grow up and make a responsible one. Not one third party candiate had a shot at winning.

You get better candidates working from the ground up to nominate beter people, not by electing maniacs to high office and going "well they were both bad!". One was bad, and one was OTT ridiculous IMO. We ended up with ridiculous.

Sure, ground up is better, so I cast votes in all elections, but I just cant justify wasting my vote on someone I don't trust at all, and think is a danger to our society in general. I'm offended when people paint that as not being "grown up" as if it shows some sort of superiority to **** into the ocean with your disingenuous vote for a sociopath.
