On the high, crenelated ramparts of Castle Clinton, a chill breeze is stirring ― a faint but gnawing sense that the White Walkers are coming, wearing MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN baseball caps on their skinless noggins.
If Donald Trump does sack the fortress, no one who lost the battle will want to admit it was Hillary Clintons fault. It will have had nothing to do with, say, transparency or calling bearded villagers deplorables or the Iraq War vote or the simple fact that middle-of-the-road Clintonism ran out of gas as a public philosophy.
No, other individuals, groups and forces will have to be blamed. In fact, they already are, pre-emptively. If Trump wins, were all going to be too busy moving to Canada to read the postmortems (or write them), so we offer them to you now: RANK REASON
1 THE MEDIA Everyones piñata. Trump will blame the media. Gary Johnson will blame the media. Jill Stein will blame the media. (The media will ask, Wait, which one was Jill Stein?)
2 THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING Actually, they arrived long ago and got into her phone.
3 MILLENNIALS Ugh. F**cking idealists, right?
4 BERNIE SANDERS Remember when people worried that running unopposed in the primary would hurt Clinton? It's going to be an endless wail about how Sanders should have withdrawn sooner.

Huff Post has to be depressed. That makes me happy!
Funny, since he's so proud of his Mexican heritage.
>>She and the media would have wiped the floor of Bush, Marco and Cruz.<<

You got that right.
Trump is rearranging the entire political landscape for a generation.
It’s especially sweet that he is demolishing the Obama coalition, removing those blacks who are too smart and too proud to get fooled again.
“As wonderful as them moving to Canada, I think it’s ironic they never want to move to Mexico. “
They have another thing coming if they think Canada is going to take millions of people in. There are not jobs, the social services would collapse
I wonder what the writer meant by that little jab?..................
Pretty sure it meant "skinheads," as in racists.
“Her Senate career was bought with pardons and bribes.”
And the CONVENIENT FACT that JFK Jr. was killed in that plane crash. He was going to run for that seat!
She never would’ve won against him.
I hate her. Seriously, I NEVER use that word, but this, ‘woman’ has done SO MUCH DAMAGE in the past 50 years to our Nation.
I cannot BELIEVE she’s not in prison, or, at a minimum, been ostracized from Society as a whole! Aarrgghhhh!
Bill Clinton never got 50% of the popular vote. Ross Perot ran specifically to drain off the anti-NAFTA vote and to keep George H. W. Bush from a second term. In 1988, he had to seriously torpedo his own campaign to keep from winning. And he was a lot more popular than Hillary.
Perot ran again in 1992, but probably wasn't needed, as Dole was a weak candidate, but Clinton didn't get 50% then either. The Clintons won by manipulation, not because they were beloved.
1992 and 1996
You’re correct. Thanks.
