Bill's 'Hillary' moment: (Australian election)

Bill Shorten's disastrous election campaign is being compared to that of Hillary Clinton after both left-leaning leaders were unexpectedly defeated by their conservative opponents.

Mr Shorten spent the last day before the election drinking beer in a Melbourne pub with Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews, while Mr Morrison took a whirlwind, last-minute tour of five marginal seats across three states.

The contrast echoed the eve of the United States election in 2016 when Mrs Clinton spent time with Barack Obama, Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi, while Donald Trump went to five states and held a midnight rally in Michigan, a crucial swing state.

.....

Mr Trump congratulated Mr Morrison during a phone call on Sunday, with the US President telling his Australian counterpart that he had predicted the result.

'He was very congratulatory and very pleased about the outcome. He said that he always thought that it would happen,' Mr Morrison told the Daily Telegraph.

'We'd already struck up a good relationship and looking forward to the certainty of me being in the role for the next three years. We talked about that and I look forward to potentially being there later in the year but certainly getting together at the G20 (leaders summit).'

It's hard to imagine an outstanding nation like Australia allowing anyone as depraved as ILLary to rise beyond the title of Insect Control Officer.But come to think of it having visited the Outback...and having become familiar with the “Aussie Salute”...Insect Control Officer is probably an important one. :-)

Exude the confidence of being 10 points ahead. Campaign like you’re 10 points behind.

IOW: Get after it!

The left around the world is showing us their neck - if only we’ll strike.

unexpectedly defeated

Polls don't win elections, people do.

Unexpectedly!

Discerning folks do not want to be DOX’ed by the Media and SJW.

Truths are spoken to those known for many years.
You confirm to pollsters and strangers whatever dopey narrative is trending that day.

I understand from an Aussie mate that Shorten is a weapons grade asshole.. sort of an amalgamation6 of Gore, Hillary and Obama if you can feature that.

Not a good week for the Australian Labour Party ...

... or for the Australian beer industry, I gather.

Don't know if you've ever done so but on a few occasions I've watched youtube videos of debates in the Australian Parliament.Sometimes things get so feisty that you'd almost expect a brawl to break out.It's particularly fun to watch the Speaker toss members out of the chamber under Rule 92 (I *think* it's Rule 92).

I don't have clear memories of Shorten but leftist a$$holes seem to be the norm in Western countries.

[Bonemaker]

Haven’t seen the Australians but do watch Brit’s Prime Ministers questions.

[Gay State Conservative]

Yup,the British Parliament is very interesting.I particularly enjoy listening to Jacob Rees Mogg...a man who proves that an Oxford education *can* be a real plus.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

What this really says is that the Left’s censorship and silencing of their opponents is blowing up in their faces.

[Repeal 16-17]

The Elites’ arrogance does them in every time, regardless of country.

Isn’t it so delicious when the elites think they have an election in the bag and a good, firm dose of how-in-the-hell-did-that-happen? hits them squarely in the face?
