Huffington Post Surrenders: Far-Left Site Examines ‘Why Hillary Lost’ 49 Days Before Election
breitbart.com ^ | 19 Sep 2016 | Huffpo via Breitbart

The Huffington Post is no longer buying the idea that Hillary Clinton will coast to victory in November — and it has already made a list of “where Democrats will point the finger if she loses” to Donald Trump.

And it’s not from volunteer contributors; the byline includes Global Editorial Director Howard Fineman and editors Jason Linkins and Lauren Weber.

From the Huffington Post:

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:

Huffington Post is in serious financial trouble and I don't even have to look at the media coverage to be sure of it.

The chart with that article is on Google Docs. This makes no sense unless they either have no one on staff capable of creating a dynamic table of the chart on their own site (which is bad) or they are trying to save on bandwidth by offloading as much as they can to free third party servers (which is worse).

There really isn't any pressing need for another propaganda platform for Democrat platitudes. MSNBC, with deep pockets Microsoft to deficit finance it forever, is more than enough to satisfy the small demand.

I foresee long lines of purple haired chubby millenials at the unemployment office and even more whining on Facebook and Twitter in the near future as the Christmas layoffs come.

Thanks for the post. I read HP to see how lefties feel. Here are some of their comments. They are despondent and it seems have their eyes open”

The Democrats will lose the White House in 2017 for these reasons: The party is no longer recognizable to those who supported it even a decade ago. It has turned into a far left, socialist promoting, tax increasing, criminal-supporting, illegal /migrant cheerleading, politically correcting, Black Lives Matter pandering, Government is GOD, corrupt MESS. The mainstream media has been pulled under the waves with it, sacrificing itself willingly in it’s zeal to put party before principles. The democrat party needs to take a long, hard look at itself, and weep.

This 100%. Also now that gay marriage is legal; the only real issue I really disagree with with the GOP is women having the right to choose - although I do feel like my views are shifting towards pro life as I get older. Maybe I’m just old fashion when it comes to that. I can’t vote dem for everything you said. It’s terrible now. It’s just race baitjng, open boarders, name calling, illegal immigrant friendly, protecting the elite and big business, pro TPP, no religion.. and called out if you even have one, race baiting, Corrupt, shady deals with Iran, regime changing party. I can’t take it.

I’m sure you’re right - if Hillary loses in November it will be literally everyone else’s fault but hers. The fact is she was always a weak candidate and has never been trusted or liked by middle America. That her handlers and supporters could be so blind to this is still mind boggling. Yes, Trump has an equally high unfavorable rating but what Trump has that Hillary does not is a hardcore base of GOPers who will turn out the vote for whoever the GOP candidate is. If Charlie Manson was the GOP nominee he could expect to get 25-30% of the vote without even campaigning. Now that Hillary got her wish and has the nomination I sure hope for all of our sakes that she can close the deal. If she doesn’t it will be no one else’s fault but hers.

Well, the joker to the thief, but IMHo the whole thing seems to fit :

There must be some kind of way outta here
Said the joker to the thief
There's too much confusion
I can't get no relief

Business men, they drink my wine
Plowman dig my earth
None were level on the mind
Nobody up at his word
Hey, hey

No reason to get excited
The thief he kindly spoke
There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke
But, uh, but you and I, we've been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us stop talkin' falsely now
The hour's getting late, hey

All along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
Barefoot servants, too
Outside in the cold distance
A wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching
And the wind began to howl

Trump and Pence on horseback and the wind begins to howl.

That was distasteful, but necessary. It put the media on notice that he's going to give back as good as he gets.

WHICH HE DID!!!

He should hold that cover up on election night.

“looking at them from the perspective of a full blown Stalinist!”

Quickly scanning the post, I read “full blown Satanist”. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that when it comes to the Clintons.)

Wow. It sounds like they actually get it. Perhaps they’ll be Trump voters come Nov. 8.
