I think you forgot to mention that Hilary self-destructed with the computer screw up at her home and in trying to hide it made it go ballistic. Tack that on the leaks made her look incompetent and weak.This was caused by BSers like James Comey and Ron Podesta.

But here’s some other thoughts:

Trump won 279 electoral votes to Clinton’s 218, although she won the popular vote, and the margins in the states where he scored stunning upsets were very close in Florida, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania. Still the last three are states that haven’t voted for a Republican for president since the 1980s. She lost the base that has been a “gimme” for over 30 years.

Hilarys entire campaign was based on old media and conventional tactics. Trump had an entire conversation with millions of people outside the media filter. He earned millions in “free media” by baiting the media to talk anything about him.

On October 24, the federal government informed Americans all over the country that they would be socked with double-digit Obamacare premium increases. Something like 2 percent of the State of Minnesota was facing the big premiums without extra help from the federal government.
True, some (if not most) will find those premiums offset by subsidies and tax credits. But not all. And that didn’t stop the headlines. Typical headline: “Obamacare Premiums to Soar 22%.”

So what were they thinking when they had her appear with a bunch of celebrities at the end? Donald Trump didn’t have to appear with a series of celebrities at the end. He was the celebrity. And we live in a celebrity-driven country. Clinton is a political figure. But somehow he became the hero of blue collar working class folk, while she lost the working class. The votes in certain states added up.

No, I didn’t forget.

The case against Hillary is so vast....the issues pile up like garbage after a Democratic convention.

I make the case against her one issue at a time.
