Democrats Keep Pointing Fingers Everywhere But at Themselves
New York Post ^ | December 19, 2016 | Rich Lowry

Posted on 12/20/2016 7:16:30 AM PST by Kaslin

The Democrats have a simple explanation for Hillary Clinton’s loss — the Russians did it.

The party that has had a decades-long soft spot toward Moscow and has been reluctant to believe the Kremlin might have aggressive intentions or, say, cheat on an arms-control agreement, is in a frenzy over Russian hacking that supposedly denied Hillary the victory that was rightfully hers.

John Podesta, the chairman of a Hillary campaign that considered accepting the results of an election part of American writ as of about two months ago, refused several times on “Meet the Press” Sunday to say the presidential election was “free and fair.”

In a contest this narrow, anything might have been decisive. But the monocausal Russian explanation for Hillary’s defeat ignores her myriad political and ethical vulnerabilities that the Democrats were determined to ignore, despite the obvious evidence of them for years.

Vladimir Putin couldn’t have hand-picked a worse champion for them this year. There was no reason to believe Hillary Clinton was a good politician who could deliver a compelling message, since she had never done it before.

The Russians ate my homework.
The Russians made me late for work.
The Russians put that lipstick on my collar, honey.

Podesta is just practicing for 2018 court proceedings:

The Russians framed me. I did not rape those children!

YEP. Remember what Moyher said,

WHEN YOU POINT YOUR FINGER AT SOMEONE, YOU HAVE 3 MORE POINTING BACK AT YOU. A MOTHERS’ LOGIC.

Good! The longer it takes for these Leftist America-haters (but I repeat myself) to come to grips with the reality that the people have rejected their policies, the longer it’ll be until they can do a course correction and once again become competitive. In the meantime, Trump and Co. will be stripping away the business-killing regulations, lowering taxes, convincing more and more companies to stay here, starting to control immigration, taking the fight to ISIS and the rest of the Islamic terrorists, etc., etc., etc. - IOW, Trump will be making himself and the Republican Party more popular. 2018 should be a disaster for the Dems in the Senate (IIRC, they have 25 seats up for re-election). These are GOOD times, and we need them to continue for as long as possible to save our nation. LET the Dems remain deluded. LET them continue whining like 5-year-olds, LET them put Ellison in charge of the DNC, etc., etc. - IOW, LET THEM SELF-DESTRUCT.

“Democrats Keep Pointing Fingers Everywhere But at Themselves” I know; isn’t it cool?

I listened to a sound bite of Charles Payne (Fox Business) interviewing Christine Pelosi and it was irritating as hell, but I ended up realizing, “They don’t have a clue as to why they lost.”

I read it somewhere:

Democrats:

Promise everything

Deliver nothing

Blame somebody else!

We need an investigation and every house and senate democrat should devote their full time to this Russian infiltration and stop at nothing to get to the bottom of this. They should skip their attendance at committee meetings, votes and public appearances until they unravel this Russian invasion.

Harry Truman once said that you could not get rich in politics unless you were a crook. The Clintons have amassed over $250 million during their years in politics without producing any goods or services.

Corrupt Hillary is a lying sick old crook, who accepts bribes and betrays our country. Everything she says and does, or causes to be said or done, must be viewed with the utmost suspicion. Her promises are worthless, unless they enrich her in some way.

Her husband is a rapist and a pedophile whom she has actively enabled.

THAT is why she lost the election.

I didn’t think it could get any better than it did when the SCOTUS told Gore to go pound sand... Watching the lunatic left screeching like Banshees and gnashing their teeth at the thought of Trump being POTUS beats it by a country mile.

It’s like the Christmas that keeps on giving... I hope they never give up.

Anyone incapable of admitting that the number one reason Hillary lost this election was Hillary — her ideology, her own history of personal failures, and her belief that she transcended the “system”, has no business seeking the presidency of the United States. This means you, Hillary.
