Why Are You Still Talking About Hillary Clinton?
Medium.com ^ | December 22, 2016 | Michael Tracey

Posted on 12/26/2016 8:03:59 PM PST by OddLane

It’s becoming a common refrain: “MOVE ON! The election is over. Hillary is no longer relevant. By continuing to comment on her failure, you reveal that you’re something of an obsessive. Focus on Trump! He’s going to be president, not Hillary. Nyeh.”

Well, here’s why. For one thing, she’s still out there in the public eye, concocting excuse after excuse for why she couldn’t beat the guy from The Apprentice. Her media loyalists are also still out there in full force, spouting rationalizations of her conduct day after day, and denying culpability for their role in bringing about her failed candidacy.

They are confabulating a story to explain away the loss. If left un-rebutted, this “narrative” will eventually congeal into accepted wisdom, and it will then be cited for years and decades to come as reason why they are completely blameless. Notwithstanding their 2016 humiliation, the Clintons still have a huge, well-funded, and feverishly devoted PR apparatus, including a vast array of functionaries and loyalists inhabiting all different segments of elite society.

If she has a pulse she will run again in 4 years.

Lock her up.

The only things I want to see from any Clinton or anyone who (Barky) have contributed to their crimes is them wearing Prison Orange and locked in a cell for time and all eternity!!!

The same reason we talk about her lying, womanizing, corrupt, sorta husband. They’re both self-serving sh*ts and remind us who the good guys are. It’s called compare and contrast as we still do with the Hitlers and the Reagans of the world. We need to remember these people.

She lost, Jim.

That reality IS reality.

She wasn’t wanted by huge numbers in her own party. She is a lousy candidate. She’s a crook. There isn’t an inspirational bone in her body.

That’s right. People saw that she was only out for herself.

Because we relish the fact that she LOST.....because we hope she’ll pay for her crimes......because she’s a bytch....the list goes on. Besides she’ll make sure everyone knows she’s still around by some public appearance so why not talk about her???
