Why Hillary Lost: A Premature Obit (HuffPo meltdown!)

On the high, crenelated ramparts of Castle Clinton, a chill breeze is stirring ― a faint but gnawing sense that the White Walkers are coming, wearing “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN” baseball caps on their skinless noggins.

If Donald Trump does sack the fortress, no one who lost the battle will want to admit it was Hillary Clinton’s fault. It will have had nothing to do with, say, “transparency” or calling bearded villagers “deplorables” or the Iraq War vote or the simple fact that middle-of-the-road Clintonism ran out of gas as a public philosophy.

No, other individuals, groups and forces will have to be blamed. In fact, they already are, pre-emptively. If Trump wins, we’re all going to be too busy moving to Canada to read the postmortems (or write them), so we offer them to you now: RANK REASON

1 THE MEDIA Everyone’s piñata. Trump will blame the media. Gary Johnson will blame the media. Jill Stein will blame the media. (The media will ask, “Wait, which one was Jill Stein?”)

2 THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING Actually, they arrived long ago and got into her phone.

3 MILLENNIALS Ugh. F**cking idealists, right?

4 BERNIE SANDERS Remember when people worried that running unopposed in the primary would hurt Clinton? It's going to be an endless wail about how Sanders should have withdrawn sooner.

We need to demand that the Russians release Hillary's medical records. :)

Because America is filled with sexists and misogynists who hate to see women get ahead.

That could be straight out of DU - and they would be serious.

It’s not so much that they now are coming to believe this but that AOL is letting it be published. Seems the ass covering is beginning already.

“You know, you can put lipstick on a pig,” Obama said, “but it’s still a pig.

He added, “You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called ‘change.’ It’s still gonna stink after eight years.”

I hadn’t looked up that quote in a long time. What a perfect description of his upcoming presidency osamabama gave.

Hillary lost the will to win. It’s obvious. She barely campaigns anymore.

I disagree. Hillary lost the energy to compete, and that's why she barely campaigns anymore. She is hoping that surrogates and the media can prop her up until the debates and that in the debates she can trigger a Trump response so bad it will swing the momentum her way - enough for fraud to make up the difference. She still has that insatiable lust for power but can no longer act on it, but she's staying in and hoping she can enjoy absolute power once she is carried over the finish line.

Well actually none of the Clintons care one iotta how the country feels...never did. It's about you making sure you understand their superiority and that you are unable to understand or how a country needs to be run...only they know. Everything she says about Trump she's addressing to every citizen of this country....and is how they see us.

"MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN” baseball caps on their skinless noggins." I wonder what the writer meant by that little jab?

I imagine they were thinking of Pol Pot, round 2 - socialists stacking up the bones of their patriotic opponents, but this time still wearing the baseball caps that identify those of us who love freedom. Whether of not it was intended, Freud would attribute this to the bloodthirsty nature of socialists.

Neither Clinton is a true believer in anything but themselves. Obama and Sanders actually believe that Socialism will work, so they keep doubling down on state intervention and regulation.

The Clintons have both tacked left or right as required to win elections. When Hillary discusses Russia now, she is only a couple of steps to the left of Curtis LeMay. She cozies up to Wall Street, then supports regulations to kill off their smaller competitors.

Her foreign policy decisions show short term focus for political gain, rather than any serious long term vision. She is willing to do or say whatever it takes to win and stands for nothing except Clintonism.

I think the notorious White Walkers from the television series Game of Thrones have no hair on their heads.

We need some pictures of Hillary with a “Make America Great Again” hat on her head.

How about?

The Democrats win too easy through fraud, lies and intimidation. So they throw in the towel really early.

The flip side of that is that the smart ones simply know that Hillary screwed them. She and Bill and Obama and Biden and all the high ranking Democrats knew she was sick. They wanted the Clinton dynasty to continue so the gravy train could keep running.
