Hillary was about the worst possible choice. She was the epitome of status quo in a change election. She is a congenital liar. She has no charisma or personal likeability. She is almost comically corrupt. I could go on forever.

The Dems could have beaten trump with any number of candidates - possibly even Bernie. But the Democrats thought it was more important to give Hillary her "turn".

Ding ding ding. Truth!

You do understand she got more votes than her opponent?

So apparently we elected a guy worse than the worst possible choice. That should bring joy to us over the next four years.

Not really.

One was the consummate Washington insider, a former First Lady, Senator, and SoS; you would be hard pressed to find someone more representative of the Establishment than Hillary.

Trump, a reality star, Million(Billion)aire, legendary individualist (or bully), uncaring, uncompromising, in other words a complete outsider. By playing the bad guy and thereby getting more media attention; by focusing on everyone conspiring against him (the Republican party, the Democratic Party, the Media, the Elites (ironic huh since he is an Elite), he managed to galvanize a base of voters when the whole country was gripped with political apathy. He proved himself extremely media savvy. This guy literally knew better than almost every political pundit in the country.

In the end, at least half the country, a divers set of voters, came together in a massive anti-establishment movement. A vote for Trump was a vote against Washington insiders - or perhaps he was just the right guy at the right time and rode the anti-establishment wave.

Good article. Many reasons Hillary lost.
Good article, Matt Walsh mentioned only a few of many Clinton's bad traits that should have easily disqualified her from running for office. There are a lot more traits to look for in a candidate before nominating them for office, besides the first woman POTUS.

After twice failing to win the "big one" we will never know, will we?

If she is "still a million times better than Trump", why has she lost TWICE?

I guess she isn't as good as you think she is!
You know, there's two kinds of people who post comments on Trump and Hillary. The majority of us can talk sensibly and actually have an intelligent discussion about the election. Then there's the other kind, who sound like 10 year old bullies in the schoolyard going ''Nyah, nyah, nyah."

I got news for you, Quick Enough, and others like you, no matter who you voted for. It's one thing to call out the faults of Trump and Hillary - Lord knows, they have enough of them. But when you start making snide remarks and put downs about the posters here who supported the other candidate, you might make yourself feel good. But you also make yourself look very juvenile.

She chose private server to hide how much time she spent on foundation business as SOS. She hide her conflicts. She chose a easily hackable system for all emails including many classified ones. If it wasn't hacked it was purely due to luck. I Don want a president whose choices depend on luck.

Her foundation is shame designed to enrich them niot do charitabke work, since less than 7% ov donations gienfor good works. Irs should have not allowed tax exempt status for this sham.SPOILER][/spoiler]

You need to work on how to do a spoiler. If Clinton had malice in her server decision it would have worked out much better for her. There would have been no emails anywhere to find if it had been done using professionals who know how to construct such a device. Piece of cake.

Given that the Clinton's are lawyers and relatively well off they could easily have constructed a tight system which would have left no residue.

They did not. So one would presume that it was perhaps dumb. But not evil.

And it was not easily hackable. Small private servers are actually tough. Though I personally doubt Clinton knew that.
