2ndDivVet, I think I've figured out why you start Hillary Clinton threads and let other people comment for you.

You do not like her.

I don’t understand how the list of Hillary excuses can keep growing, but it does. Note - each of the following came from Hillary, from one of her drones, or from a pro-Hillary article; I am not creative enough to have made these up:

There are many terrible reasons for President Trump’s victory, but there are two things that were not a factor. First, Hillary was the perfect candidate; nothing she did harmed her candidacy in any way. Second, President Trump was the worst candidate imaginable; nothing he did helped his candidacy at all, except with racists, sexists, bigots, and the rest of the basket of deplorables.

The longer the Media pay homage to Hillary and the longer she stays in denial about the election, the more demented she becomes

at the time, I thought she had Parkinson’s, and was being cycled up-and-down on L-Dopa.

That was my guess at the time and still is my guess as to what is wrong with her. Maybe she doesn't have it, but has similar symptoms from the many swan dives she has taken over the years. One of her emails had staff looking into a particular Parkinson drug.

She was not a healthy woman at the end of the campaign. There were pictures of her turning blue in the airplane while in the air. She had to be helped up and down stairs, etc.

She . . . believes that nothing [she] thinks, says, or does is wrong or could possibly be detrimental. It is rather the airing of [her] misdeeds that is a wrong thing evil .

15.Women under pressure from men: "They will be under tremendous pressure from fathers and husbands and boyfriends and male employers not to vote for 'the girl.’”
“…remember the ladies, and be more generous and favorable to them than your ancestors. Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the Husbands. Remember all Men would be tyrants if they could. If particular care and attention is not paid to the Ladies we are determined to foment a Rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any Laws in which we have no voice, or Representation.” - Abigail Adams
To which John Adams replied,
". . . in practice, you know we are the subjects.

We have only the name of masters, and rather than give up this, which would completely subject us to the despotism of the petticoat, I hope General Washington and all our brave heroes would fight.”

I just want to comment on a few of these reasons/excuses:

1.Herself: In her book, Hillary blames her “damn emails,” her remarks about putting coal miners out of business, and calling Trump’s supporters “deplorable.” (so why did she set up the private email server in the first place)
(why did she say she would put coal miners out of business)
(why does she think half the country is deplorable)
EXPLAIN IT TO US HILLARY.


4.Sexism and misogyny: “Sexism and misogyny played a role in the 2016 presidential election. Exhibit A is that the flagrantly sexist candidate won.” (so then, all who voted against HIllary did so because she was a woman?? And she just expects women to vote for her because she is a woman??)


5.A Democratic predecessor: “It’s really difficult to succeed a president of your own party who has served two terms. That is a historical fact.” (so then why did you choose to run? Why not wait till 2020 and take on Trump then??)

8.Her “traditional” campaign: “I was running a traditional presidential campaign...while Trump was running a reality TV show that expertly and relentlessly stoked Americans’ anger and resentment.” ( so why didn’t you and Robby Mook and Podesta and your Brooklyn people, shift gears and make changes in your campaign? Jeez, she makes it sound as if it was somehow unfair how Trump ran his campaign.)


9.The debate questions, not being asked “how the candidates planned to create jobs”: “I was waiting for the moment when one of the people asking the questions would have said, ‘Well, so, exactly how are you going to create more jobs?’”
(so then, she is pissed off that nobody asked her questions she wanted to answer? Or is she pissed that she couldn’t get those debate questions in advance at that debate?)


10.Political journalists: “[Journalists] can’t bear to face their own role in helping elect Trump, from providing him free airtime to giving my emails three times more coverage than all the issues affecting people’s lives combined.” (so then, political reports are supposed to report based on Hillary’s criteria of what she considers newsworthy? And omit anything which is detrimental to her campaign?? Really??)


13.TV coverage of the campaign: “When you have a presidential campaign and the total number of minutes on TV news...was 32 minutes, I don’t blame voters. Voters are going to hear what they hear...and if they don’t get a broad base of information to make judgements on.” (what in the Sam Hill is she talking about? There are a number of 24/7 cable news channels, and campaign stories dominated their airtime leading up to election day. Where in the heck does she get this 32 minute number???)


15.Women under pressure from men: “They will be under tremendous pressure from fathers and husbands and boyfriends and male employers not to vote for ‘the girl.’” (if this is true, then why the hell didn’t she and Robby Mook and Podesta and her campaign team, make changes in their campaign to address such a topic? Such as a generic ad telling everyone we have a secret ballot, and make up your own mind on election day, or something like that?)


16.James Comey: “The determining factor was the intervention by Comey on October 28...but for that intervention, I would have won.”
( You can cherry pick any date and say, if the election had been held then, one or the other would have won.

If the election had been held right after Trump’s convention, he would have won. If right after Hillary’s, she would have won based on polls showing she got a big convention bounce in the polls. If a few days after that Access Hollywood tape, Hillary likely wins. But the election is held on the designated date, not on a cherry picked date she wanted it to be.)

“It’s really difficult to succeed a president of your own party who has served two terms. That is a historical fact.”

Truman won reelection after FDR had served almost four whole terms. Bush41 won after Reagan had served two terms. Nixon (in reality) won in 1960 after Ike had served two terms, but Joe Kennedy paid the mob and Daley to cheat in Illinois.
