With the exceptions of JFK (murdered), Carter (dweebish) and Bush I (spazmoidal), since 1960 it has been two terms for a party and out.
IOW they have been taking turns. The only way Hildabeast could have won was by being someone else. Goodbye Clintons & Bushes. And good riddance.
I can see their campaign ads now.
Vote Rat in 2020!
We want more ISIS Refugees, Higher Unemployment rates, lower wages and Tear down that Wall so 30-40 Million welfare leeches can join you.

Clinton lost because she attempted to “phone it in” on her way to the coronation.
She is a criminal and the people recognized her as such even if a complicit government did not.
Bill told her that she lost because of Mook, Podesta and herself.
It was then that her $#!+ hit the fan.
“When Donald Trump says, Im going to bring the coal jobs back, we know thats a lie.”
The people who were supporting the worst liar in our history have a lot of nerve saying this about Trump.
Basket of Deplorables didn’t help either. She attacked private citizens based on Lies and Fake News.
and because she is corrupt AF
They can’t admit it is because their policies were rejected.
They can’t admit it is because they are lying crooked hypocrites.
Hillary didn’t have a message because she really didn’t give a damn. She wanted the power and the money, case closed. So it was all racist all the time, and then attacked the people who could have voted for her. Arrogant a-hole. Spits on her customers.
Worse, in a classic example of strategic blindness, Clinton and her team ignored the large degree of public unease about Obama's politics and his weak economy and promised more of the same -- with larger helpings for Democratic constituencies. Idiotically, Clinton even described a large swath of Americans as deplorables -- a comment that had menacing tones and helped reconcile the GOP to Trump.
Astonishingly, based on a supposedly ironclad political model and a mass of data, the Clinton campaign assumed that an electoral college victory was in the bag. She therefore campaigned at a leisurely pace, ignored potential swing states in the Midwest, and misallocated her campaign effort in order to assure herself a popular vote victory.
Most of all, Clinton underestimated Trump. Unlike Clinton, he ran an aggressive, high energy, sharp-witted campaign that focused its effort on key issues and on swing voters and swing states so as to attain an electoral college majority. In difficult moments in the Superbowl contest of American politics, Trump clung to the adage of Superbowls: any team that gets there is good enough to win if they want it more, play better and harder than their opposition, and get some breaks along the way.
Can the Democrats regain their winning ways? It will be hard because they have so much wrong to unlearn about how American politics actually works. With the Democrats out of power and having a defeated and diminished political base, they must now suffer the Left consolidating its hold. In effect, the Left will insist that the Democrats must aim to win by energizing the Left and stoking its toxic identity politics and grievances instead of appealing to the middle of the country with sound policies that advance common interests.
In 2020, the Democrats are thus likely to face a successful Donald Trump touting economic success and tangible improvements in the nation's security and standing in the world. And the Democratic candidate -- Clinton again, perhaps -- will be commanded by their perpetually energized and angry base to make Trump the issue again. If that comes to pass, Donald Trump may well achieve a reelection victory of Reaganesque proportions.
Clinton lost because of obama’s 8 miserable years and clinton a criminal who had no right to be considered the democratic nominee. I was SICK of the clintons, obamas, the dems, the worthless republicans, the DEEP corruption in Washington.. the libs, the media, the special interest, the lies, the deception, the promises not kept, and the ignoring of us voters out here!
It had little to do with what hillary did while campaigning... she was fired before she entered the race. Enough of the clintons.. enough of all that had gone on in Washington. After obama, there was a half chance in hell that a democrat could have been elected! and hillary was the LAST choice among the ‘half chance’.
Look they are never going to publicly admit why.
We all know why here on this site.
