Hillary Clinton lost. She, her family, her party, and the media are having a hard time coming to grips with that reality. She failed to connect with the people and couldn’t escape her own self-inflicted injuries and scandals. She also relied on data and analytics that never told her the real story and only re-enforced what her operatives thought was true.
Democrats act like “no one” could have foreseen Hillary’s loss. How could they? All the polls and data pointed towards a landslide historic victory for Hillary Clinton. Everyone KNEW this would be the case.

Except for one man. He knew what was happening the whole time and tried to warn the campaign but he was marginalized and ignored.
That man was the former President Bill Clinton:
Via The New York Post and the Best-Seller on the meltdown of the Clinton campaign Shattered:
He’d seen the trans-Atlantic phenomenon of populist rage at rallies across the country, and warned friends privately of his misgivings about its effect on Hillary’s chances. Now his focus turned back to the international movement he’d seen gathering. “It’s like Brexit,” he lamented. “I guess it’s real.”
He saw the tide turning. He knew that populism was rising against the establishment and the elites. Why Hillary thought she could out-ride or escape that moniker is anyone’s guess.
But Bill knew, and he was ignored repeatedly.
For Hillary Clinton’s chief strategists, the unique challenge of reconciling working-class and white rural frustrations with the Obama administration’s handling of the economy proved too difficult a riddle, and they chose in the end to focus their efforts elsewhere, much to Bill Clinton’s reported protestation.
A bunch of young campaign operatives thought they knew better than a man who won the popular vote twice and was uniquely able to target white working class AND minority votes:
“Bill Clinton’s viewpoint of fighting for the working-class white voters was often dismissed with a hand wave by senior members of the team as a personal vendetta to win back the voters who elected him, from a talented but aging politician who simply refused to accept the new Democratic map,”
Just astounding. I am so glad Hillary is not our President, and the debacle that was her campaign is reason enough. How could we expect this woman to run this country when she ran a campaign that was filled with nothing but sycophants and arrogant opportunists? Bill Clinton is scum and was a horrible President, but you can’t deny the man knew how to win. If Hillary wanted to win, she should have listened to him.
Bill jumping up and down looked so goofy and fake, and she was ignoring him like he was just an annoying excited puppy lapping at her heels.
She probably was thinking in the back of her mind that she was through needing him, and was ALREADY planning his trip to Ft Marcy park.
Maybe before the evening was over. To get into office on a huge sympathy stance.
LOCK HER UP!
I think Der Schlickmeister believed/hoped the strain of campaigning would kill Hitlery. Just imagine how much “sympathy sex” he could have parlayed widowerhood into.

Pure horse vomit. Slick won only 43% of the vote in 1992 and 46% in 1996. He never won a majority.
Wow! It was precisely my fourth grade teacher who most mistreated me - and I was a top student.
Bttt! Lmao!!!!!
He won the popular vote because Perot took away from Republican middle. The article does not even understand the dinamics of his elections.
Eerie, that. Mine certainly was! One of our spelling words was her name. And it had better be right!
“Bill Clinton was busy pondering which way was up and which way was down.”
I’m pretty sure he never had a problem with the “down” part.
I’ll bet you that every time Hildabeast starts whining about why she lost the election Ol’ Bill heads to the nearest closet, enters, closes the door, and laughs his ass off.
“My wife would make a great President.”
My wife is a very intelligent woman with many wonderful qualities. She would NOT make a good president and I suspect, neither would I. Either one of us would be better than Obama or any other Democrat though.
And what is is.
Let me tell ya, Larri, Ah think Ah had somepthin' to do with that!
Who the stink cares?
We have enough to be concerned about with Trump trying to save the country and stop the republicans/kstreet...why is stuff like this even posted?
William Jefferson Criminal is a POS.
HIllaryous Rotten Criminal is a POS.
The Greatest Crime Couple in the history of this fabulous republic can E.S.A.D & R.I.H.
Sooner rather than later.
No doubt. But just for kicks I’d love to see Hilly in the hoosegow and Billy walking free. Now wouldn’t that just frost the beast. I’d LMAO for weeks.
What ever happened to the rumor floating around last week, that that bill was on his death bed in Lil’ Rock?
Now, but some of the women did.
Yes, that too...
“Bill Clinton is the best politician of our lifetimes.”
Nope. Donald Trump is. By far.
