Hillary Clinton blames voter suppression for her election loss
The Washington Examiner ^ | September 17, 2019 | Julio Rosas

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."

Abrams lost to Republican Brian Kemp by around 54,000 votes.

How the hell can she say this after proudly proclaiming that she won the, “Popular vote?”

Barr, throw this odious obnoxious old hag in jail where she belongs. She lost because she was a sickly boring old hag and people don’t like her. She ran a lazy pitiful weak campaign and deserved to be cast out.

she wasn’t satisfied so many of her voters were permitted to cast at least a dozen ballots each?

Hey Hitlery, you lost because you’re an unlikeable. corrupt, criminal bitch.

If there weren’t millions of illegals voting, plus multiple voting by corrupt RATS, Donald Trump would have easily won the popular vote and carried an additional five or six states.

So stuff it, satan’s daughter!

If voter suppression means not as many illegals risked going to the polls to vote for you as you planned, then, yes. She only had enough illegals to win the popular vote, not the electoral college.

Election fraud will be the only thing that stops this president from being re-elected.

During the third debate, Trump refused to pre-emptively agree to the election results, saying he'd "look at it at the time."

The media responded in their usual laid-back style:

A 'HORRIFYING' REPUDIATION OF DEMOCRACY -- The Washington Post, Oct. 20, 2016

DENIAL OF DEMOCRACY -- Daily News (New York), Oct. 20, 2016 DANGER TO DEMOCRACY -- The Dallas Morning News, Oct. 20, 2016

ONE SCARY MOMENT; IT ALL BOILED DOWN TO ... DEMOCRACY -- Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Oct. 21, 2016

"(Shock) spiked down the nation's spinal column last night and today when the Republican nominee threatened that this little election thing you got there, this little democratic process you've got here, it's nice, it's fine, but he doesn't necessarily plan on abiding by its decision when it comes to the presidency." -- Rachel Maddow, Oct. 20, 2016

"Trump's answer on accepting the outcome of the vote is the most disgraceful statement by a presidential candidate in 160 years." -- Bret Stephens, then-deputy editorial page editor at The Wall Street Journal

"I guess we're all going to have to wait until Nov. 9 to find out if we still have a country -- if Donald Trump is in the mood for a peaceful transfer of power. Or if he's going to wipe his fat a-- with the Constitution." -- CBS's Stephen Colbert, Oct. 19, 2016

"It's unprecedented for a nominee of a major party to themselves signal that they would not accept -- you know, respect the results of an election. We've never had that happen before. ... This really presents a potentially difficult problem for governing ..." -- MSNBC'S Joy Reid, Oct. 22, 2016

"This is very dangerous stuff ... would seriously impair our functioning as a democracy. ... This is about as serious as it gets in the United States." -- CNN's Peter Beinart, Oct. 20, 2016

"Obviously, it's despicable for him to pretend that there's any chance that he would not accept the results of this election; it would be -- in 240 years you've never had anybody do it. ..." -- CNN's Van Jones, Oct. 20, 2016

“That’s horrifying. Let’s be clear about what he is saying and what that means. He is denigrating — he is talking down our democracy. And I am appalled that someone who is the nominee of one of our two major parties would take that position.” – Hillary Clinton

““Every losing presidential candidate in modern times has accepted the will of the voters, even in extraordinarily close races, such as when John F. Kennedy narrowly defeated Richard M. Nixon in 1960 and George W. Bush beat Al Gore in Florida to win the presidency in 2000,” – New York Times

Except that you didn't run the best campaign.

She is still bellyaching and trying to find excuses for her loss.

Recall that 'basket of deplorables' remark? That lost you a mega amount of support and very likely cost you the election. That remark is on YOU. But it is just one of many aspects of your poor campaigning.

some states did suppress the illegal alien vote, if that didn’t happen the entire USA would be Kalifornia. It should be obvious now that’s the Democrat plan, import enough criminal aliens to vote for them.
