The MSM by trying to HELP Hillary ended up HURTING her by giving positive reinforcement to the weaknesses of her campaign. LOL!!!

Hillary was so overconfident that the fix was in in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, she didn’t even campaign there much. She DID campaign in States that weren’t in play because she didn’t want to lose the popular vote.

I’m shocked Trump didn’t win the official popular vote, but Fox News and other Establishment media probably caused enough moderate Republicans to stay home.

“Hillary was so overconfident that the fix was in in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, she didnt even campaign there much.”
I don’t think that Hillary had the requisite stamina to conduct a successful campaign against Trump. Then you can add to that the fact that she thought she was a shoo in, and a lousy candidate people didn’t like, and those three factors did her in.

Backing up a few months, to spring/early-summer 2016, Trump was in the single digits. The LSM reasoned that with Canky such a baggage-laden candidate, they'd get, in their (small) minds, the weakest R candidate. So, they gave Trump 90%+ of their R air-time, operation suck-the-oxygen-out-of-the-room for all the other candidates. Trump was the "joke" candidate. Go to youtube, and find numerous examples of ridicule - like Coulter's "If the election were held today, Donald Trump"... "". Well, the MSM created Trump the monster, and the rest is history. Thank goodness for Trump, and the great stuff he has done already. But, all the same, FU LSM.

She thought “Philly fats” Eddy Rendell and his mob buddies would deliver enough fraud in Philadelphia to put her over the top—never saw the HUGE Amish vote coming.

Too much baggage from the past 20 years, inc. Benghazi and the email transgressions which she clearly lied about from the get go. Low energy, all the way.

The liberals, with the help of the media, believed their own propaganda and didn't work as hard as Trump.
Trump was having rallies almost daily at two or three different locations. Hillary was having one rally once a week at best.
Attendance at rallies was also a factor. Trump filled arenas with 20-30K people at a time. Hillary couldn't fill a high school gymnasium.

What a bunch of BS. If the MSM hadn’t been covering for Hillary’s crimes, incompetence, poor health, greed and lies 24/7, she would have been screaming “Why am I behind by 50 points!?” instead of coming just a few states short of absolute power.

Her last night:
Hit a gay bar in Miami, there were maybe 15 people who showed up. The photos were sad even to a Hillary hater.
The Donald: He flew to maybe FOUR different states in ONE night..?
The woman seemed BENT on losing.

“Trump was having rallies almost daily at two or three different locations.”
Nigel Farage stated that multiple times, and he was totally in awe of that. When Nigel was campaigning for Brexit, he could barely keep up with one rally.

What a crock. The fact is, the MSM did everything in their power to tear down Donald Trump, and prop up Hillary, and, even in the face of the most vicious campaign of character assassination the world has ever seen, they were
still unable to thwart the will of the American People.
The only thing the MSM accomplished was to somewhat blunt Donald Trump's electoral landslide.
But make no mistake. The Esatblishment and Media (but I repeat myself) did everything humanly possible to destroy Donald Trump and install Hillary in the White House, and they almost succeeded.
Even though their power is waning, and now stands repudiated and in tatters (just like their reputation), the MSM still proved to be formidable, inasmuch as they were nearly successful at their coup attempt, despite the Peoples' enthusiasm...
