Notice how when Hillary don’t get votes, it is the fault of the voter. A-holes.

The old crone was like a weekend with a nutty grandma. Nobody trusted her. She was a joke her whole career. She lost the 2008 race. And won her race against Sanders and Webb with treachery and party thumbs on the scales.

The millenials and everyone else simply saw her as full of crap and rejected her. It is Hillarys fault.

That’s exactly right. She had no real message but thought it was “her turn.”

And just because the USA hasn’t had a woman president before doesn’t mean it’s “her turn.” It wasn’t about man vs woman, if Margaret Thatcher had been running, I would have voted for her.

Yep. She thought she was the anointed president.

I suspect there was a sizable number of millenials who voted for third-party candidates because they assumed Hillary Clinton would win handily.

Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook also acknowledged that her operation had made a number of mistakes and miscalculation

The guy's name is Mook? Seriously?

Did you see in the leaked emails where one of her advisors asked if they could just run out the clock without facing the media (more than a month before the election)?


Yep. They thought the media could cover for them that long.

My kid is 30, so I’m not sure if he is a millenial or not, but he quite had enough of Obama and his economy.

In Ohio, he voted for Trump and made sure his Facebook friends did the same.

I can’t imagine what it’s like going through life with a surname like “Mook.”

“in the high 50s”

So millenials aren’t quite as predictable as we all thought.

The only absolute is that blacks are going to vote 90% Dem.

But Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook said Thursday that one particular group is especially to blame: millennials.

To put it simply enough so that even prominent Rats can understand it...poll after poll shows that about 70% of the populace think the country's headed in the wrong direct and,as a result,the good people in flyover country decided that a third term for the Community Organizer-In-Chief was was unwise.

We saw Hillary leaning stiff-legged on a post in the streets of New York City then losing her shoe being lifted into a car.

Who wants to vote for that?

I guess they’ll have to tweek their propaganda next cycle.

Instead of “our candidate is going to cakewalk” which is so reassuring and makes them feel so good. . . and yes, it increased our anxiety, I had no confidence that Trump would win. . .

they’ll have to see “we THINK we’ll win but it’s only 55% sure so everyone get out and VOTE!”

I mean they can make the polls say whatever they want.

Obviously.

I saw a post by a Democrat on a news site who made a very honest observation. It said something like this:

We should have seen this coming when young Democratic voters were getting all excited about a 75 year-old man who looks like my grandfather.

So true. LOL.

“We saw Hillary leaning stiff-legged on a post in the streets of New York City then losing her shoe being lifted into a car.”

Just imagine, for a moment, if there had been a similar video of Trump.

Just unbelievable.

They act like it’s not their fault that voters wanted change.

They want change because Obama, Hillary and the Democrats have been doing a poor job for 8 years.

That’s what you get for rigging your own primaries against Bernie Sanders supporters, millions of young people giving their money and time, only to get the shaft from the criminals in charge of the DNC.

The Dems lost because they ran the only Dem candidate that President Trump could beat, namely, an old crooked, thieving, lying, self-serving, discredited hag with no platform, who voiced her hatred of half the nation’s voters, engaged in identity politics, and whose only claims to fame were the polarity of her genitalia and “it’s my turn”.

Maybe that Jill Stein is not such a bad old crone after all.

I had just turned 30. Looking back, I'm thinking it was a fulfillment of the Churchill aphorism that "If you're not a leftist at age 20, you have no heart ... if you're not conservative by age 30, you have no head."*

*Paraphrased - I don't know if Churchill actually said it. But if he didn't, he should have.
