Why Are You Still Talking About Hillary Clinton?

It’s becoming a common refrain: “MOVE ON! The election is over. Hillary is no longer relevant. By continuing to comment on her failure, you reveal that you’re something of an obsessive. Focus on Trump! He’s going to be president, not Hillary. Nyeh.”

Well, here’s why. For one thing, she’s still out there in the public eye, concocting excuse after excuse for why she couldn’t beat the guy from The Apprentice. Her media loyalists are also still out there in full force, spouting rationalizations of her conduct day after day, and denying culpability for their role in bringing about her failed candidacy.

They are confabulating a story to explain away the loss. If left un-rebutted, this “narrative” will eventually congeal into accepted wisdom, and it will then be cited for years and decades to come as reason why they are completely blameless. Notwithstanding their 2016 humiliation, the Clintons still have a huge, well-funded, and feverishly devoted PR apparatus, including a vast array of functionaries and loyalists inhabiting all different segments of elite society.

Which is why he was fired by that cesspool known as VICE.

Independent journalism is the wave of the future.

OOOPS

[DanielRedfoot]

Well for one thing, She keeps haunting people in the woods, like the Blair Witch...

[wardamneagle]

And thunder thighs

[Mr Apple]

In your #15, one can see exactly how wide that fat a@@ is. And her huge fat thighs. Just nasty.

[GOPJ]

We need to talk about her until everyone understands what we understand.

I hate to see any media reports of the infamous Clintons. May they disappear from the media until the next, RATless DOJ can get their act together and prosecute them for multiple crimes. I can hardly wait for their conviction and sentencing.

"If she has a pulse she will run again in 4 years".

I rather doubt that. She barely made it through the primaries this year.

..."Liberal media elites and their allies are so resistant to the “Hillary failed” narrative in part because they are directly indicted by it. If such a narrative were to take hold, they would be seen as complicit in the failure. So counteracting it is pure self-preservation for these characters. In a media ecosystem with a healthy incentive structure, those who failed would lose professional prestige and be shunted aside, to be supplanted by others. Instead, the chronically wrong suffer no consequences at all. They will actually gain notoriety, social approbation, and money. That’s how the system works — it’s fundamentally rotten."... Rotten is the perfect word to describe them. They want to preserve themselves and their corruption at any cost to the nation. This article is very insightful.

[Mr Apple]

And in #25 her revolting, blubberous fat thighs have just gotten larger. Nasty slug hillary.

This image will make Hillary cry.

Thanks for that.

We'll have to fund our REAL journalists like Tracey and Attkisson in the future.

[Mr Apple]

I’ll venture to to say that besides hillary’s other health problems I bet that elephantiasis tropica has set in.

Judging by the continued head explosions over at DU, I’d say most over there still think it’s the Russians, Comey, Trump lying, racist stupid white people. The few that say it’s Hillary’s fault are shouted down.

Finger pointing at and by Obama is splitting the Democrats.

There’s no real introspection by the liberals. I’ve thought all along that they double down with failure, and it’s happening with the election postmortems.

Now, what the Democrats talk about in private we know to be different, so behind the scenes they may very well understand their weaknesses and make the necessary adjustments in 2018 and 2020. Let’s s hope they don’t.
