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.

Think about it. hillary thinks she deserves to be Commander in Chief because she got lots of votes in a few horrible places. Commander in Chief, in charge of the military. Ran her campaign with no STRATEGY to win the most electoral votes. Yeah, she’d be real effective in times of war.

No Hillary... It was your corruption, incompetence, lying... and your ugly pantsuits!!!

The more she carries on with her excuses the more we know she is agonizing and suffering about the election loss.

And that makes me happy!

Her continued vigor is a blessing.

I'm praying hard she'll run in 2020.

PERFECT..!

I figured Hillary would just crawl under a rock after her disastrous and totally self-inflicted defeat and join Jeb Bush in political exile. But instead she is the gift that keeps on giving. The longer she wails and gnashes her teeth about how she was “robbed” of her presidency, the harder it is going to be for the Democrats to find somebody good to run against Trump in 2020.

True, my good FRiend, but Hillary lost for more than the above.

Ironically, for a girl (she would bristle at the term, ha ha) who sought to make people fear Republicans and men, her pathological mendacity, her preference for an insular and cloistered personal environment (while lying that she was "listening" to us, ha ha), her being caught CHEATING AT A DEBATE, AND COLLUDING WITH CNN TO DO SO (then, of course, lying about that, ha ha ), her state of general health including keeling over at a function and showing easily detectable symptoms of neurological disorder, which she lied about but voters saw through, ha ha, and which might be a non issue, or even a sympathy bonus, but she prefers to lie, then get caught, and lie again, ha ha), and then there's that whole issue of dereliction of duty as a SOC, then lying about it to relatives of Benghazi heroes, then lying about lying about it, getting caught, and lying about it more, ha ha, and let's not forget her rich history of cattle future fraud (then lying about it, ha ha), travel office firings, then lying about it, getting caught, and, haha lying about it, and then there were the FBI files, the Whitewater fraud, the Marc Rich and FALN pardons (which Hillary is suspected of honchoing), and the outright theft of White House artwork and furniture and tableware, all of which, when caught, she lie about, ha ha.

Much, much more, but that was just one sentence (of many) of why Hillary lost, ha ha ha.

let’s have some fun. Everyone interviewing Hillary should ask her to go more into depth about how the FBI was unfair to her.

Now she’s added “voter suppression in Wisconsin” to her imaginary list? Hmmm, that’s a new one.

Every interview where she whines about how everything except her own completely unelectable self lost her the election brands the Democrats as the party of ridiculously sore losers, even more than Al Gore did. Her endless tantrum is wising people — especially the low-info people who just vote Democrat because their parents voted Democrat — up to just how unhinged this party is.

Let’s do something organized, fun, and constructive. Conservative media as a bloc, be it TV, radio or internet, should begin its day, each and every day, with the soundbite of Hillary excoriating Trump for not promising to accept the results of the election. They should do this for weeks if they have to, until she finally shuts up.
