I would add to this list Obama's divisive degrading of FOX news watchers. I just saw a video compilation of all the many clips of Obama over the years blaming FOX news or insulting people who watch it. Really pathetic and divisive.
Fox News is loaded with divisive B.S. They own it. It's their stock in trade.

Good grief.

I heard they fed debate questions to Trump. Oh, wait, that was CNN passing them on to Hillary.

Stephen King is an idiot if he thinks this happened over the last 8 years.


That is just a partisan being a partisan.


Obama didn't suffer any more than George W. did. and he didn't take any more than Clinton did. GHWB and Reagan dealt with it.




All of this is in some ways an escalation since Watergate. Which when you look at that, its crazy. Dems got rid of Nixon, but didn't feel like they got their pound of flesh so they went after Reagan like mad rabid dogs. the Clinton years were retribution for that, then the dems came at GWB like gangbusters. They even broke the old very American rule that politics ends at the waters edge and turned Iraq into their rally cry to regain political advantage. with Obama, all republicans did was respond to the escalation.




now here we are.

Hillary was crying inconsolably? Pretty sure that little girl who was brutally raped, who Hillary roasted on the stand felt pretty bad too. After Hillary tried to convince the world that it was a little girl's fantasy to have sex with her rapist.

That meme might work on people in their 20's or hyper-partisans but the rest of us remember the relentless attacks for decades on whomever was in office regardless of political party.

It's really just perception bias. You notice when your party is being unfairly attacked and don't pay attention when it goes the other way.

"Flat broke" means they ride in another person's private jet.

I can't wait until Trump starts taking away benefits the deplorables use and like. Then they will realize that they should have voted for Hillary, who actually cares about whether government will help them.

In all these cases, she was attacking the American people.


BTW, the topic is about Hillary, not Trump. You might want to take note of that if you are complaining about how the topics are going.
Three out of four ^ are fake news.

Hillary never referred to black males as super predators. She did refer to gangs as super predators. Are you defending gangs?

Some DNC staffers referred in emails to their initiative to keep Trump's taco bowl tweet out there. "The best taco bowls are made at the Trump Tower Grill. I love Hispanics"

Hillary did not refer to anyone as uneducated kids living in their parent's basements. She was acknowledging some Bernie supporters who feel stuck in dead end jobs, living in their parent's basement.

Bernie tapped into a mass of people who liked his anti- establishment, anti war, pro free college pro free healthcare platforms. He lost the primary.

The Trump message focused on jobs and tax cuts and avoided getting into the weeds of how. He threw more than enough red med out there to appeal to those who percieve themselves as victims.

Hillary lost. Trump won.

Had the outcome been Trump winning the popular vote while losing the Electorial College, do you think the Trump supporters would go quietly into the night?
