The reaction in many quarters to Hillary Clinton’s reflective, candid assessment in her book, What Happened, of her devastating loss to Trump tells a lot about why she lost. She’s still being raked over the coals. She’s still called too guarded, not honest enough, too stiff, and even “robotic.” This fits in with the almost set-in-stone depiction of Clinton as cold, aloof, and totally unable to connect with real people.
This supposedly stands in stark contrast to Trump, who appeared to be the consummate people person who spoke the common man and woman’s language. Then there’s the standard cherrypick at the most petty and sensationalist quip in What Happened. That’s the one where she says during her October 2016 debate with Trump, that he was a “creepy” guy who made her extremely uncomfortable. This makes it appear that Clinton is a trembling, terrified whiner and loser.
In truth, Clinton doesn’t shrink from frank, straight-talk criticism of her and the campaign’s missteps, spiced with important insights into what could and should have been done different. These are the kind of precious insights that are anything but woulda-coulda apologetics from a sore loser. They offer much of value for Democratic candidates and incumbents in what will be a bruising mid-term election in 2018, with much at stake for the Democratic Party desperate to put a dent in the GOP’s number. This is their only hope to check Trump and the GOP’s drive to roll back the 20th century.
The real answer to what happened to Clinton in 2016 won’t be found in her book. You’d have to go back more than a decade, when the GOP took dead aim at then Senator Clinton as a potential presidential contender.....

“The real answer to what happened to Clinton in 2016 won’t be found in her book. You’d have to go back more than a decade, when the GOP took dead aim at then Senator Clinton as a potential presidential contender. Their plan was pretty simple. It entailed digging up every scintilla of old and new dirt it could dredge up against her to torpedo her candidacy even before officially took off. “
yeah, Earl, that’s never ever happened in the history of the United States before.
And then, there is the little matter of trying to rig our election.
Ah yes, reference to Captain Pike on Star Trek.
Is this person just delusional or a recipient of a grant from the Clinton Foundation?
No, you'd have to go back further than a decade to know why Hilliary lost her ultimate goal. It probably started when she was in college and she and boyfriend Billy began plotting the overthrow of America for Socialism/Communism. She lost because she was not trustWORTHY and that took a good part of her teenage and adult years to develop.
Worse than “Liar” - crook and scoundrel of the highest magnitude. Used her office to steal hundreds of millions of dollars, give away national assets, and kill Americans serving their country.
That was outstanding!
from the Paint-Huffing Channel, precious insights.
You can't make this up. LOL!
Where us Sessions? Comey gave him the salient elements of the case against the beast. How long does it take to indict this monster? Are they afraid of her? Does she have blackmailable information on them? Nation of Laws and not men? I am not seeing it.
Ben Garrison is a genius. Thanks for posting, Fiddlstix.
Earl Ofari has been on the plantation for so long laying at the feet of his masters he no longer has any cognitive notion of reality.
Trump won the hearts of We the People -- Democrats, Independents, and GOP alike! But the Grand Inquisitor of the Fake Media hath said that truth shalt never be spoken.
I truly fail to see how any discussion of Hillary’s loss can fail to mention that she couldn’t be bothered to visit swing states that ended up going for Trump by slim margins. What else does anyone need to know?
I believe criminal hag and chronic liar hilLIARy was preoccupied with her Depends throughout the election...to this day.
LOL
I hope that neither "reflective" nor "candid" are being used as synonyms of "accurate" or "truthful".
For example...the videos show that it was *she* who was moving around the stage deliberately positioning herself so that DJT appeared to be *close* to her and *behind* her.
