Why Hillary Lost: A Premature Obit (HuffPo meltdown!)

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 Clinton’s 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, we’re 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 Everyone’s 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 It's going to be an endless wail about how Sanders should have withdrawn sooner.

Nothing about her terrible track record or policies?

Leave them be. Commiseration and hand-wringing at this stage does not help their agenda. Encourage it. You can even admit that Bernie or Elizabeth at least would have had a better chance.

homophobic, sexist, mysoginist, racist anti-Semitic, Zionistic, Neocon, Islamophobic, TEA Partiers, who just hate everyone and everything, and regularly have fist fights with their own reflection in a clear pool. One must be complete.

Elected then re-elected Obama, despite his terrible economy and foreign policies.

It is early. But I hope llbs get a taste of the crap we’ve eaten the last 8 years of the Kenyan occupier.

I wonder what the writer meant by that little jab?..................

I assumed it referred back to the "white walkers" comment. Maybe I misread the implication there that it's those pesky white zombies (the deplorables) marching for Trump.

As wonderful as them moving to Canada, I think it's ironic they never want to move to Mexico.

Now just a cotton minit here. Let’s be fair. Ronald Reagan was old, US Grant was drunk, Woodrow Wilson was sick, and Gerald Ford fell down a lot. And don’t give me that business about them otherwise being talented, able individuals. Hillary’s a woman, and that means she can give birth to babies, can bleed a lot every single month and still live, and manipulate men back when she was pretty...oh, never mind that one. If that ain’t talent, what is./s

I get the humor.....but.

Saying ‘She lost her marbles’ is an excuse. She is not crazy or stupid.

She IS a criminal and a Marxist through and through and I for one won’t give her the ‘crazy’ pass.

I just read their list. I guess they forgot Benghazi, Her Emails, The Clinton Foundation and state department, and her lying about her health. The writer of this piece doesn’t understand why she would lose.

1. Americans have never liked Hillary.

2. Mr and Mrs Slick have been lying to the world and wriggling out of scandals for over thirty years - and everyone knows it.

3. She represents the past, and a continuation of the very things Americans are rebelling against.

4. She has NO accomplishments of note, despite her 30 years of involvement with government.

5. Servergate. She skated, when any other citizen would have been thrown under the jail.

6. Benghazi. Zero accountability and blame shifting.

7. Clinton Foundation and pay to play.

8. She’s a terrible candidate who can’t connect with ordinary people.

9. Her campaign has no message, and no underlying reason to exist.

10. She’s a (barely) walking corpse, and is hiding the true extent of her life threatening health issues.

She’s also running against the American people’s natural inclination to shift the Executive branch to the other party after two consecutive terms.

And last but not least, she’s running against an opponent who has a decades long track record of being in charge of a large enterprise that gets things done in the real world. Trump has already demonstrated his bona fides as an effective chief executive, which is the job he’s running for. Hillary Clinton? Not so much.

Exactly.

“All my friends voted for McGovern.”

Libs live in an echo chamber. They are clueless. If all they do is go to HuffPo for their ‘news’ God help them. They are clueless.

Allusion to the long-expected zombies in the Game of Thrones series (don’t watch the HBO series; read the books).

So far only a few cameo appearances, including a good zombie who used to be a ranger, the uncle of Lord Bran the crippled skinwalker kid. But they’re about to invade.
