What a bunch of scaredy Democats she thinks voters are. What were they afraid of, NOT electing Donald Trump? It doesn't even make sense. She needs a shrink and not Dr. Chardonnay. <br /><br />Thirty years of public exposure, a popular ex-President husband campaign surrogate, DNC and powerful superdelegates/lobbyists in the bag for her, endorsement by the popular sitting President and his influential wife, support and assistance from the entirety of Hollywood, Wall Street, the Intelligence Community, Neocons, every major and minor news outlet in the country, and over a billion in campaign cash. Poor Hillary had a rough go of it, so leave her alone.

How competent is the Democratic Party that forgets its roots and let's the opposing party walk all over it for eight years? More specifically, where was Obama, the head of Democratic Party, when, during his tenure, 1000 public offices on local, state and national levels passed from Democrats to Republicans?<br /><br />Obama couldn't have cared less; he had his. His betrayals to the people who voted for him and to the party itself weren't so funny. What is funny is that in 2012 so many of the betrayed and still clueless gave him four more years to continue undoing justice at home and making a mockery of the Nobel Peace Prize.<br /><br />Is it possible that something other than voter suppression laws, Comey or the Russians had something to do with millions of Americans going "strategic," or just plain vengeful, to vote for anything BUT the Democrats, if they bothered to turn out at all?<br /><br />Did longtime Democrats have good reason to be fed up with the betrayals and glaring omissions of Obama, the DNC and the Clintons? Just maybe voters were tired of giving their votes to politicians who, once in office, catered to Wall Street, the Pentagon and its suppliers and the big corporations. See anything funny––as well as insightful––in the two big parties being called the Duopoly or the Uniparty?<br /><br />I think it's funny that you drop in here, of all places, to preach the gospel of the lesser-of-two evils. You're not in the land of the clueless anymore. And don't tell us we're unfunny; we don't even try to do funny around here. Take a hard look at the masthead: Sardonicky. In that vein let me conclude with this: I myself could have won against Hillary Clinton. And the reason I could have won is because I'm not Hillary Clinton.Jay–Ottawahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10360356126450612113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974773076690597683.post-86529372779872053102017-07-31T19:25:30.781-04:002017-07-31T19:25:30.781-04:00Yep, it's all in the delivery.

It's just that the masses are too stupid to understand the narrative the Party has been forcing on us for decades.<br /><br />Would that "What Happened" becomes the final book (let it be so) in the presidential library that never was.Elizabeth -- Marysvillenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974773076690597683.post-33038598010303165662017-07-31T18:42:10.335-04:002017-07-31T18:42:10.335-04:00#BetterNamesForHillarysBook

Hillary faced 33 states with vote suppression laws, 6 million are not allowed to vote due to prior felonies, and Karen Handel personally purged many thousands for having the same first and last name as someone in another state: ex. John Smith. Republicans are un-American and cheaters. There is 100% certainty they cheated once again to let this despicable creature win.<br /><br />I've seen evidence that Comey's unfair thrashing eight days before the election turned the tide against her. Not to mention the Russian collusion and fake news bots. Or the billion dollars in free media given to Don "The Con". Also does not include the institutionalized and still powerful misogyny present throughout the nation, including among a huge section of women.<br /><br />So no, not funny. And tagging BS when you haven't read it is also unfair.Tom Shefchikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07144475224910518968noreply@blogger.com
