Hillary Clinton's Loss Triggers Leadership Crisis for Democrats

Best result last night was not the election of Trump - which make no mistake about it, was deeply gratifying.

No, the best result last night was the complete decapitation of the Democratic Party.

Its shrunken, leaderless and in complete disarray.

It couldn’t happen to a more deserving enemy.

That my friend, is due to the surplus of D votes in CA and NY.

Subtract those, Trump had a decisive win.

I'm not sure that we realize it just yet....but a huge multi-tentacled monster was slain last night. The Wikileaks allowed us insight to the complexity of how big the monster was and the international influences, media collusion and interconnected organizations. Even with it all....they FAILED. These connections will now BURN - their funding will dry up. The entire democrat machine has been left in ashes.

This was truly biblical.

Clinton couldn’t generate as much enthusiasm with young people and minorities as Obama did. A youngish black or Hispanic will be sought after to rise to the leadership. Problem is, anyone of that ilk with the position and experience to rise to the top is apt to be to the left of Sanders.

“the Democrats basically let the Clintons and their hangers-on treat the party like a parasitic wasp treats a caterpillar.

Who should be surprised that there’s no one left to pick up the pieces?”

I was thinking about this earlier this morning. Who is on the Democrat “bench” for 2020 and beyond. Surely not Sanders (too old) or Warren (too left). O’Malley never got any traction in the primaries and Bayh was trounced in his bid for the Senate in Indiana. There don’t seem to be too many up-and-coming young Democrats.

Conservatives in those states need to get the EV split up between counties. Or, however Maine does it. Or is it New Hampshire?

One set of electoral votes for LA, San Fransicko, Sacramento, and Silicon Valley. Another set for the rest of the state. Ditto New York.

This is actually a big problem for the dems. The Clinton Cartel staged the battlefield for this election by eliminating anyone who could be a real challenger in the primary.

In doing so they sucked up all the energy of the party and now no one is left to step into leadership.

[Hardastarboard]

Let’s hope they fight it out with automatic weapons.

Regional party? From your lips to God’s ears... But she did take 49% of the popular vote, rt? That’s way more than regional.

[BraveMan]

After reading this loquacious tripe I’ve come to the conclusion that they still do not get it!

[BRL]

Also their usual strategy of fixing their problems by sowing divisiveness has been greatly weakened.

And yet despite having virtually every possible advantage at her disposal, from more money to better staffers to better data, it was Clinton and her party that was repudiated in the biggest presidential shock in recent memory...

...the nearly unanimous fawning of a sycophantic press (print and networks)...

...the inexhaustible support of the Republican hierarchy...

...3,000,000 illegal alien votes and 3,000,000 (minimum) additional votes from multiple voters and dead bodies...

Take that away and she was a remarkably weak candidate.

I hope the Clintons are finished in politics, and this SHOULD stop the flow of influence money to their Crime Syndicate Charity. The only charity benefiting from it = The Clintons themselves. Chelsea’s $3 million wedding....
Shameful!!!!
