Hillary Clinton still blaming press, Russia, FBI
Washington Times ^ | 5/29/17 | Cheryl Crumley

Posted on 05/29/2017 5:36:06 PM PDT by markomalley

Hillary Clinton, who lost the presidential election, just can’t quite seem to get it through her head — that she lost the presidential election.

In a recent interview with New York Magazine, she told the writer she should’ve won — she would’ve won — had it not been for those dang, pesky Russians.

Her words: “I would have won had I not been subjected to the unprecedented attacks by [former FBI chief James] Comey and the Russians, aided and abetted by the suppression of the vote, particularly in Wisconsin,” where I didn’t bother to campaign.

Oops — that last was a bit of editorializing. But then again: it’s factual, so how much editorializing can it really be? Let’s just say Clinton’s trying to wave a magic wand here and forget the fact it was her campaign — not the Russians, not Comey’s investigation, not the crappy voters in Wisconsin — that caused the big shocker loss.

Fact is: If Clinton actually ran on something, rather than against something, she may have given voters something to hold on to and support at the ballot boxes.

Running a campaign on two platforms rather than policy only works if the two platforms resonate. And her choices — 1) I am Hillary, hear me roar and 2) Trump stinks — clearly nosedived with voters.

The “deplorables” have spoken. You have been weighed in the balance and have been found wanting.

‘Cause she doesn’t want to be remembered like Don Cherry coaching the Boston Bruins with too many men on the ice against Montreal in May 1979, lol.

The candidate who couldn’t stoke a crowd but for high recognition entertainers to warm it up.

Who would even have shown up to see just her tired old self?

Anyone notice the obvious IRONY that the LEFT believes the weak conspiracy theory that TRUMP obstructed justice by firing Comey (the investigation continues w/o Comey, but a minor detail..) — YET, EVERYONE KNOWS HILLARY deleted 30,000 emails and didn’t cooperate with the investigation!!

Hillary totally obstructed justice.

How do you figure? There's not one guilty person in prison; go ask them.

How many people in prison are $Billionairs like Hillary. She has stolen so much money she can’t afford to be charged. It would cost her every cent and every favor she still has. Why let her off the hook. If Trump isn’t in the mix she could easily buy the 2020 election. Lets divert her
goals. They will be clamming up and circling the wagons with charges pending.

The lack of energy among Hillary supporters and expectations of Hillary being the inevitable winner, because it was her turn, elected Trump.

Robby Mook selecting the wrong travel stops for Hillary and spending heavily in the wrong states elected Trump.

There are many terrible reasons for President Trump’s victory, but there are two things that were not a factor. First, Hillary was the perfect candidate; nothing she did harmed her candidacy in any way. Second, President Trump was the worst candidate imaginable; nothing he did helped his candidacy at all, except with racists, sexists, bigots, and the rest of the basket of deplorables.

...and who cares about them?...

Today and every other day we should be thanking the people that fought and gave their lives for our freedoms that we so much enjoy along with thanking God that He has His Hands on Our President that gave up his life he built to give back to the Country and the people he loves...

...what did they ever give up? Hillary and Bill, what have they given up?...

Real reason she lost is because of basics: She was an unlikable, lying, corrupt, incompetent, NWO, communist, arrogant, self serving, big bag of pus.
