Liberals need to stop using Trump as a shield for their own incompetence in losing
National Post (Toronto Ontario Canada) ^ | 2017-06-18 | Rex Murphy

Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton. That is not a complicated sentence. Nevertheless the fact conveyed in that sentence came as a monstrous shock to many of the best political minds, pundits and reporters in the whole United States. The greatest brains, the wiliest strategists, the most experienced campaign advisors were in so deep for the Hillary win that they assigned to it a certitude normally associated with the mutterings of Fate. I still receive merriment from the memory of election night, when a bare hour before the polls were closing such oracle-organs as The New York Times and its compeer The Huffington Post were assessing Hillary’s chances of victory at 92 and 98 per cent, respectively. There is a lesson here for future campaigns: never let the cheerleaders do the polling.

Within the deepest chambers of the Hillary hive on that same election night, as any reading of Shattered, the definitive account of the Clinton campaign, makes manifest, the conviction of her triumph was set in steel. The Ice Queen was going to obliterate the Tycoon Clown. Why, even weeks before the vote, they were bracing themselves for a landslide. For besides having “the best presidential candidate ever” (Obama), a war chest larger than many national treasuries, and the greatest political brain of a generation (Bill) on their side, had not the lustrous millennial triplets — Katy Perry, Lena Dunham and Amy Schumer — pledged their collective heat to Hillary’s ascent?

Fate, however, is a sly bastard. There is always a banana peel on the path to a sure thing. (...)

This will backfire on them.

From the article:

Most of all, they should cease using the excesses of Trump’s manner as a shield for their own incapacity to act as adults when they lose an election, and lost it mainly because they ran their campaign so poorly, and chose a candidate who had everything except a reason for her candidacy.

They can't. They cannot be wrong. Their whole self-image and persona is built on the idea that they are very, very intelligent, and therefore are never wrong.

- It’s not their incompetence they’re shielding - it’s their necks - from the nooses Hitlery shouted about - from finally being held accountable for their crimes...

except all those now in position to do something are recusing themselves or being threatened out of action or office - or shot - WIMPS

The Lying left can’t help it.

If you’re the Lying left, you lie. That’s what you do.

BTW, can we please quit calling the Lying Leftists “liberals”? They have absolutely nothing to do with liberty.

Professional political analysts understand the strength of a rigged election, what they did not understand was actual popularity. Popularity of trump caused such voter turnout that complacency caused by how many ballots they had stuffed brought their destruction.

Clinton clearly thought the election was in the bag. She didn’t even try to win.

No kidding! Remember all the BS when W “stole the election” in 2000? Recounts, hanging chads, it was more than a month before they would even concede. Sore losers, still.

“They can’t. They cannot be wrong. Their whole self-image and persona is built on the idea that they are very, very intelligent, and therefore are never wrong.”

The essence of leftists the world over. Hundreds of millions were killed last century because leftists couldn’t admit they were wrong.

The MAIN reason Russia is pushed so hard is not about the election loss, it is about keeping the real stories off the front pages AND keeping the Demonrat criminals from being arrested and tried.

Is anyone still discussing the DNC fix to nominate Hillary?

Is anyone still discussing the DNC Podesta email correspondence which shows the RATS are not a political party but that they are more a criminal cartel that makes the mafia stories look tame by comparison.

Is anyone discussing the presstitutes collusion with the DNC staffers?

Has Hillary and her criminal band known as a staff been indicted yet?

The DNC Russiagate silliness is working as planned. The RATS are skating and causing havoc which they plan on exploiting to get Demonrats back into power. Americans in general are the biggest set of fools in history.

Why just in losing? They need to fess up and stop using conservatives as a shield to hide their just BEING incompetent.
