Hillary Clinton lost the presidency to an opponent that every knowledgeable political operative, strategist, and analyst considered the weakest major party candidate in modern American history.

The further we get from the election the worse her campaign looks, and the hollower her excuses.
Worst candidate?

He was twice-divorced and a so-called womanizer. What Republican in their right mind would vote for someone like that?
She got the candidate she wanted and yet she still lost.
Hee Hee Hee.
