Then how does it feel to be knocked out...?

This question just won’t seem to go away. Hillary supporters are still crying, marching, vandalizing, and recounting about it.
So I'll examine 5 reasons why I think Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 election.
5. Bill Clinton – It was Hillary’s husband who had signed into law the NAFTA trade agreement that had cost so many their jobs in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. The perfect revenge would be to vote against this Clinton, Bill’s wife. No way were they going to vote to give her a job when, with the stroke of a pen, her husband signed their jobs away to foreign countries. So when Trump proposed renegotiating NAFTA, he opened the door wide to people who were primed to be against Hillary anyway.
4. Her Policies – She supported TPP, then she didn’t. Wikileaks revealed her support of open borders. She wanted to raise the corporate tax when it’s already the highest corporate/business tax rate in the world. She wanted to continue Obamacare when people were furious that their rates had climbed astronomically after they were promised they would go down. She wanted to allow even more Islamic refugees than Obama had allowed and this was not a popular position with the attacks that had been waged on America by those refugees and on other countries where they were allowed in with very little examination (or vetting as it’s being called).
3. Her Alienating of Bernie Sanders Supporters – She insulted Bernie’s supporters in addition to Bernie himself. Wikileaks showed that Hillary and the Democratic National Convention rigged the nomination so that Bernie couldn’t win no matter what. Wikileaks released Hillary’s insulting comments about Bernie Sanders supporters, saying that they were “living in their parents’ basement.” A lot of those supporters, “came around,” to the idea of voting for Hillary, mostly because Trump was repealing to them, but a certain percentage of those who supported Sanders never forgave her.
2. Long History of Corruption – Whitewater, Benghazi, server bleaching gate, FBI investigations, multiple illegal conflict of interest uses of The Clinton Foundation, carelessness with classified information, private speeches for Wall Street insiders where she refused to release the transcripts, lobbyist, paid by foreign countries to get certain bills passed, etc. Barack Obama explains in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6f4tZFZ_-g
1. An Outsider, Anti-Establish Candidate Named Donald Trump – Trump wasn’t a political elite and as others have pointed out, that was probably his greatest strength as a candidate. Even Bernie Sanders said:
“How does it happen that they win elections and Democrats lose? I think what the conclusion is, is that that is raising incredible sums of money from wealthy people … but has ignored to a very significant degree, working class, middle class, and low income people in this country.”
Trump spoke to the working class and, in the words of Michael Moore, was a “human hand grenade,” to be thrown into the establishment. Therefore, people who were disenchanted and even furious with the establishment of both parties had an outlet in Donald Trump. They didn’t have to agree with him on everything, they simply wanted an outsider. Hillary was the polar opposite of an outsider. She was so inside that the insiders were outsiders compared to her. So Donald Trump was able to bring in a demographic of voters who weren’t even being polled because they hadn’t voted in so long due to being completely antagonistic to the establishment. Hillary couldn’t win by simply bringing in democrat voters who would vote for anyone with a “D” beside their name. And she didn’t.
"Americans either love Hillary Clinton or they hate her. Americans either love Donald Trump or they love to hate him. Trump will win because even people who don't like him want to listen to him."
Moby moore is not a hand grenade, The atom bomb was named fatman.
The media carried Hillary’s water and lied to Americans about the strength of her support. Socialism in America can only get so far...this time it got as far as two terms of a no nothing socialist community organizer from Chicago.
People knew Hitlery would put her personal well being and gain above the well being of the nation.
6. She’s Hillary Clinton and the more you get to know Hillary, the less you like her.
“America’s Ex-Wife”
That is funny! And that’s what she was! I’m going to assume that’s an original of yours because it’s very funny! Thanks for the laugh.
I have to be honest here. I think Rush Limbaugh used that term way back in the 1990s. LOL.
6. they only counted each vote for her 6 times
Hitlery lost because she is a venomous Harridan.
Pure and simple!
It was still really funny....and that’s how she comes across...like this person who annoyed you years ago and she’s still part of your life. Of course, I’m happily married, but I have a close friend who has an ex-wife like that. Anyway, I don’t care who said it first, I heard it from you first so thank you for the laugh!
He forgot to include/add: her arrogant/entitled personality coupled with overwhelmingly obvious phoniness.
If I set those other five reasons aside, I still think Hillary’s personality alone is a huge reason why she lost.
When she started (late in the campaign) going to black churches, eating “soul food” and hiring obscene rappers for her non-rallies, it was breath-takingly obvious to everyone that she is a desperate, fake, and hypocritical woman.
LOL — then you’re very welcome! :-)
She truly sucked as a politician, she had no natural ability to connect with people or speak spontaneously about something as simple as the weather.
Her empathy deficit disorder coupled with her corruption and compulsive lying made her the least likeable candidate to run for POTUS ever.
If she had been treated by the media like a Republican candidate twenty years ago she would be a nobody in politics, just a former first lady and a rotten one at that...
Just 1, incompetence.
Then how does it feel to be knocked out...?
Eggs Zactly. I can not get over how Hillary announced her run, on Twitter, and then for months and months was never seen with the people, among the people out campaigning.
Reportedly she was visiting American royalty in Hollywood and Media titans, in million dollar homes to raise money.
TRUMP, meanwhile, and from the start, was out there in hand to hand combat against the Bush Machine, the Clinton Machine, the Big Media Complex and Foreign European wags, every day all day long, and if this were not enough, seventeen other contenders, all backed by globalist gazillions through Wall Street donors, K Street, etc.
At the street level, Trump was the target for the Soros Machine funding all of it.
Hillary was a lounging lizard, who deigned to reduce her “campaign” to opening her bejeweled hand to receive cash and favors. Period.
Mentally unfit. HRC.
6. Ugly
That sums it up perfectly.
A “Two Sacker”, as is said in the South. You know.. in case the first one blows off.
Why Hillary lost: We didn’t want a traitor in the White House for 12 straight years.
