5 takeaways from day 3 of the DNC: Clinton has an ‘I told you so’ moment

During the 2016 presidential campaign, the Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton, repeatedly warned that electing Donald Trump posed a risk to the safety and security of the nation. On Thursday, Clinton returned to the spotlight with a message that, at times, seemed to say, “I told you so.”

“I wish Donald Trump knew how to be a president,” Clinton said in a live speech from her home in Westchester County, N.Y. “Because America needs a president right now.”

Clinton, who, since losing a close election to Trump in 2016, has often spoken out against the president and those in his administration, recounted what she had heard from Americans distraught over the direction the country has been heading.

“For four years, people have said to me, ‘I didn’t realize how dangerous he was.’ ‘I wish I could go back and do it over.’ Or worst, ‘I should have voted,’” Clinton said. “Well, this can’t be another woulda, coulda, shoulda election. If you vote by mail, request your ballot now, and send it back as soon as you can. If you vote in person, do it early. Bring a friend and wear a mask. Become a poll worker. Most of all, no matter what, vote. Vote like our lives and livelihoods are on the line, because they are.”

Clinton won the popular vote in 2016 by more than 2.8 million votes, while losing the Electoral College to Trump, and on Wednesday, she reminded those watching that history could repeat itself in 2020.

“Don’t forget: Joe and Kamala can win by nearly 3 million votes and still lose,” Clinton said. “Take it from me.”

What you say is true. But since Hillary was talking to her followers, not the American citizens, my interpretation is very relevant.

Four years later and Hillary STILL does not understand that you can’t “win” the national popular vote because there is NO SUCH THING. She’s REALLY slow.

dems have to win so they can shut down spygate charges and trials

What trials would that be? Maybe the ones Q is holding engineering or all those thousands of secret indictments that Sessions had in his pocket. Maybe the ones Durham is going forward with he dealt severely with that clown that lied making the FISA warrant possible they slammed him with 6 months or about 1/10th of what they wanted to give Roger Stone, a sentence that Barr was perfectly fine with.
