Hillary Clinton blames voter suppression for her election loss
Washington Examiner ^ | 9/17/2019 | Julio Rosas

Posted on 09/18/2019 11:29:22 AM PDT by simpson96

Former presidential nominee Hillary Clinton blamed voter suppression for her 2016 loss, and threw her support behind claims made by former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams regarding the 2018 Georgia governor race.

"You can run the best campaign, you can have the best plans, you can get the nomination, you can win the popular vote. And you can lose the Electoral College and therefore the election for these four reasons. Number one, voter suppression," Clinton said Tuesday an "In Defense of Democracy" event at George Washington University in Washington, D.C.

"We saw what happened in Georgia where Stacey Abrams should be governor of that state," Clinton continued.

"Registered voters were kept off the rolls. Their registrations just piled up in some back office with no intention to ever enroll them so that they could actually vote. We also saw what happened in 2016. Experts estimate that anywhere from 27,000 to 200,000 Wisconsin citizen voters, predominantly in Milwaukee, were turned away from the polls. That’s a lot of potential voters."

Yeah, Hillary suppressed a lot of voters who might have voted for her if she didn’t come off as such a psycho narcissist dictator-in-waiting.

It's hard to measure how much is delusion and how much is dishonesty.

But it seems clear to me that Democrats in 2020 will feel fully justified in blatantly cheating in the election. They will tell themselves it's only fair. Heck, the only reason Trump is president is because he cheated, right? So in 2020 the Democrats will manufacture 50 million votes if they can.

Yes, voters had to suppress the urge to vomit

The voter suppression was caused by her inability to get people out to vote for her. In Wisconsin, for example, Trump won the state with fewer votes than Romney had gotten in 2012. About a quarter-million fewer voters turned out for her than had turned out for Obama in 2012. She suppressed the vote, nobody else.

So if Democrats lose elections it’s due to voter suppression and if Republicans lose elections it’s due to vote fraud?

It’s been documented that the Russians used a cloaking device to hide the state of Wisconsin and rural areas of Pennsylvania, preventing Clinton from campaigning in those places.

Let’s see....so far she’s blamed:

- The Russians
- her staff
- James Comey
- Anthony Weiner
- misogyny
- Fox News
- White guys in flyover country
- Married women who are too STOOOOOPID to know they have to vote with their vaginas
- Wikileaks
- Facebook

Just throw one more on the pile I guess.

The fact that she is unlikable and ran a lousy campaign has nothing to do with it. /sarcasm
