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 It's going to be an endless wail about how Sanders should have withdrawn sooner.

The article is accurate in some regard. The reason she loses.

Donald Trump.

She and the media would have wiped the floor of Bush, Marco and Cruz.

The two are not mutually exclusive.

Her actions defending the pedophile all those years ago silence her supporters on many forums which lean strongly left. This stuff came out when Bill was running for governor of Arkansas. She has had all these decades to make amends to the victim and to mend fences with victims actual violent rapes.

She didn’t even bother to show pretend remorse. Even though she is what she is, she had to be really stupid not to plug that hole.

My assessment stands.

Maybe in polite conversation you can say Islam is a religion, in private company you question if it is a religion, and you know in your heart that these people are not like us.

In the voting both they will vote for Trump. Will be a landslide 50 state victory.

The DNC promised her the nom in 2008, along with the SoS to pad her “resume”, if she didn’t make trouble for Obama until he was out of office.

Then they actively rigged the primary for her when she had 4 completely capable people running against her. 3 of the 4 were told to get lost, but Sanders had nothing to lose since he wasnt a Democrat.

So in order not to blow the scam, they let him have his way, but they made sure it was done and done before he could cause a real problem.

But then the emails showed up...

You missed the point of the article. It’s a list of what THEIR side would blame, not what truly is the truth . . .

When they say it was “the media”, they are forgetting something. If the media did its job, Bernie would be the candidate. The media was bought and paid for with Clinton bucks and they forwarded a narrative that was both void of substance and hidden in secrecy. And they expected the masses to say “Bahhhhhhh, Clinton good, Trump bad.”

What if this weak & frail image is designed to lull Trump's crowd into being overly self-confident? What if she pulls an Obama, where the first debate he acted stunned and Romney took him to the cleaners. Then rallied. The world loves a come-from-behind, root-for-the-underdog type of win.

These people are devious in the extreme. It wouldn't surprise me that Hillary is actually in repose to study up for the debates.

I disagree. I think she will blame the White Walkers themselves. That’s what the deplorables comment was all about. It will get worse, but it doesn’t work now - it only produces schadenfreude.

They talk about her as if she would be a continuation of Bill. But she wouldn’t. She’s far worse. Because she’s an idiot.

Once she loses, the bubble bursts. Nobody likes her. NOBODY. She is an absolutely miserable person, who inflicts her misery on others. Some people tolerate her in varying degrees because they believe she has power, and by sucking her toes they think they can have some power, too.

But after she loses this election, the reality is that her political power is gone. The illusion is shattered. When that happens, Hillary Clinton will be dumped like yesterday’s coffee grounds. And it will be by EVERYONE. And that includes her pet, Huma.

She will still be miserable, but she will be lonely, too.

Apparently when she signed that contract with Satan, she didn’t read the fine print. Some lawyer she is.

Don’t get too confident.. she and her minions won’t go away without a scorched earth tactic. Remember, it is HER turn. Nobody can take that away from her. Get ready for some desperate tactics.

My 3 boys and I talk about Hillary, Trump and Bernie all the time. They say they hate Trump because ‘he’s just a bad guy’. So I ask to define why? Trump university, The apprentice, other stupid crap, but I listen.
Then things started to change when the emails came out, and although they still think Trump is a bad guy, the see HRC as the devil, with no scruples. They’ve also seen NBC and CNN report on her garbage, the lies and misandry. I’d like to think I at least got them to consider what I was saying, but I’m confident they’ll vote DJT!
