As if the hatchet job those cretin left-wing "senators" did to Kavanaugh wasn't the most grotesque display we've ever been subjected to.
The most deplorable behavior I have ever seen out of US Senators was the way the left (and "republican") wing senators butchered Kavanaugh on hearsay.
Indeed
What they did to judge Bork was beyond the pale. But what they did to Kavanaugh was something that has damaged our deliberative body for a long time to come.
You sometimes expect a kook or two to get elected from either party, based on some small district in a state.
But to become a US senator for the entire state typically means you have more mature, rational people representing the voters of the entire state.
Plus I wonder how the Democrats let newbie senators be on such a powerful committee instead of their more experienced and stately ones.
Then again, some of them acted just as bad as the freshman senators.
Sure politics is hardball, and not for the faint of heart. But I have never seen such a despicable display from the opposition to destroy a persons reputation and by extension their life, all for the lust of power.
You certainly have not seen any Republicans do such a thing to a (D) nominee in all the years I have been following the scotus/senate.
Bush was president for eight years. Two years later republicans wanted nothing to do with him and were hoping people forgot he was even president. That's beyond sad.
What's even sadder was that 2 years of BO and a Democratic-controlled House and Senate proved more than enough for the US electorate.
I'm being serious here. If Hillary doesn't run again in 2020 the Democrats will have absolutely no chance of taking back the White House.
Hillary is the best, and brightest the Democrats have, and will ever have.
Uhmmmmm. If that is true I am so very sad for this country. Hillary is about as flawed a candidate as there has ever been. Even after setting record spending and out spent Trump by about double, she still lost.
Yes she won some very big cities. Cities any democrat with a pulse should win. As a nation she had her butt handed to her. She lost states that had voted blue for decades.
Pssst ! I think you need to take another look at how many people voted for Hillary vs Trump. Yes, he did win, but only because of the electoral college thing. More actual humans voted for Hillary than Trump.
So, the next time you say "no one liked Hillary", you will realize what an incorrect statement you just made.
Here are the final numbers:
Clinton received 65,844,610 votes, or 48.2% of the total vote.
Trump received 62,979,636 votes, or 46.1% of the total vote. (That's a difference of 2.86 million votes.)
Was Hillary a victim of the games rules being changed midstream, or did she fail to win based on the system our countries elections for potus were founded upon?
Don't forget that many on the (D) side were worried that Trump would win the popular vote and Hillary with her "blue wall" would win the EC.
They were all prepared to defend the EC victory against anyone who might have objected. But just like what happened in 2000, the losing side didn't like the outcome, so they demanded the rules be changed to better suit their future chances of winning.
Sure Hillary got more votes from large population cities like LA, NYC, and a few others. But people in those urban hellholes are hardly representative of the country at large.
So Hillary was popular among leftists in make up most of those huge cities, but her popularity stops at most of their city limits.
So while you can say the poster you directed your post to was technically inaccurate, they were correct if you talk about a wide cross section of Americans, not just ones living in huge cities.
The (D's) have not always had this problem, so they had better figure out how to appeal to a larger swatch of people, rather than those based in large populated cities.

Agreed.
She in fact lost states that she was projected to win easily. Her message was sour, so sour that many dems simply chose not to vote.
