Poll: More Hillary Voters Regret Their 2016 Vote Than Trump Voters

According to a new national Politico/Morning Consult survey, 2016 election buyers' remorse is more prevalent among Hillary Clinton's voters than those who cast ballots for President Trump.  "Among Clinton voters, 13 percent say they would either vote for a different candidate or not vote at all," the survey finds, while that number among Trump backers is four points lower.  In other words...

The more she talks, the less popular she becomes.  It's not necessarily all that surprising that there would be more agita and recriminations on the losing side of a major campaign, but we've been told endlessly that Trump is so uniquely terrible that it would stand to reason that feelings of horror and regret would be fairly prevalent among casual voters.  Nope.  And given the national climate, one might imagine legions of Americans taking greater pride than ever in their original act of "resistance."  Not so in many cases, it seems.  None of this will sit well with the failed candidate, who has written a tendentious, blame-filled account of the race in What Happened.  In a passage that perfectly encapsulates her sneering entitlement and undying arrogance, Clinton writes that she's unwilling to grant "absolution" -- her word! -- to those who might regret their choices (content warning in the tweet):

Allahpundit writes what we're all thinking: "A non-sociopath approached by apologetic supporters after a tough loss would think 'How sweet of them to extend their well wishes' or 'I should have done more to get these people excited to turn out' or 'Did I really not visit Wisconsin once?' But her we are." Imagine how Her Highness would react if she encountered one of the scores of people who actually did vote for her, and now wish they hadn't.  It might not even compute.  This simmering bitterness and contempt seems directed especially at women who declined to follow the course of action Hillary set forth for them.  She makes this fairly clear in her assessment of the voting patters of white females, a majority of whom went for Trump:

Hillary Clinton says white women voted against her because they felt pressure from men: https://t.co/ar2izBA434 pic.twitter.com/s01dhtW9UW— Glamour (@glamourmag) September 15, 2017

They couldn't possibly have reviewed their options and come to their own free-thinking conclusion that they weren't interested in this candidate, you see.  It must have been "pressure" from the boys, or whatever.  Mark Hemingway snarks, "does the fact that I think women are capable of making decisions independently make me a bigger feminist than Hillary Clinton?"  But according to the fawning, Hillary-endorsed propaganda site "Verrit," don't you dare call her a flawed candidate.  This is real -- er, I mean, "verritfied" -- folks:

After a brief flirtation with the idea, Hillary has now clarified that she's not going to contest the election results (on what basis?), but here's to hoping she changes her mind in the months leading up to next year's midterm elections.  America is counting on you, Hill.

I posted this on another thread: I seem to recall a fellow freeper suggesting this could be how HRC gets in: The dems win House & Senate, choose HRC for speaker, impeach Trump, Pence, oust them and HRC’s in.

[samtheman]

Yes. I wish they would just wander away and forget everything.

"I wish their (sic) had been a Republican candidate."

You mean like Jeb Bush or Lindsey Graham?

Maybe she is unaware that only the voter is allowed in the voting booth. Men would not know if the mind-numbed robots voted for Trump.

Dead people are happy Hillary lost...

I had a discussion with someone about the social justice warriors rioting on campuses and in public in response to various excuses. I’d previously said I wasn’t happy with Trump’s seeming waffling on DACA. So the person asked if I was now rescind my vote for Trump.
I said no. The liberal bullies rioting see it as their right to do so in response to fighting fascism, and they see all conservatives as evil fascists. They’d still be going after conservatives on college campuses and the workplace, injecting far left politics into EVERYTHING.
The difference if Clinton had won was that they’d have the full weight of the federal government behind them, instead of pulling away from them.
So while there is stuff I don’t approve of Trump doing (DACA waffling, few too many compromises), I approve of ending mentally ill transgenders in the military, the title 9 abuse and rape tribunals, Islamic terrorism being honestly addressed, challenging the corruption.
NONE of that would be happening if Clinton were in charge.

We didn’t get all working class Americans this last time - some still voted Democrat.

Next time that won’t happen.

Lee asked for the terms, and Grant hurriedly wrote them out. All officers and men were to be pardoned, and they would be sent home with their private property--most important, the horses, which could be used for a late spring planting. Officers would keep their side arms, and Lee's starving men would be given Union rations. Shushing a band that had begun to play in celebration, General Grant told his officers, "The war is over. The Rebels are our countrymen again." [This Day in History: 04/09/1865 - Robert E. Lee Surrenders]

Grant was Republican - attempting to do what was best for the country...Nice homepage Civ.

Thanks GOPJ!

Lol - so you are the one supporter Lady Lindsay had?

What about the dead people who voted for Hillary? Were they included in this poll?

Partner, Hillary cheated big time and she still did not win the election since she is a loser and she will always be a big time loser!

The Clintoon corruption during Bill's administration was gargantuan yet nobody in that administration went to jail since W. did not lift a finger to do or say anything about the corruption that occurred during the Clintoon administration.

Enough is enough of her period!!! She is a big time witch!!!

President Trump is currently facing the big time corruption that occurred during that America Hating, Marxist, Mooselimb, Imposter Obama. The Obama administration was so corrupt and we are slowly finding out the illegal wiretaps and everything else that happened illegally during the Obama administration.

I think this is what sticks in her craw the most. She cheated enough to win... and still didn’t win!
