The ex-wife thing was part of it. The hypocrite factor was
also part of it. NO MORE CLINTONS was a big part of it.
Some on here like to pontificate that “Bill” could have been
elected AGAIN if he could have run. No. He could not have
been. The rapist albatross was hanging around his neck and
he was wearing real thin. I think this repudiation of
Hillary has soundly proven that “Bill” would not have been
re-elected no matter what.

The thing of Hillary sitting behind the same desk where
Bill got his blow-jobs and either Bill or Huma serving as
hostess of the White House was nauseating to many of us.

Here silly road trip to Iowa last year should have been an omen of things to come. The fact that she was chauffeured out there instead of flying was a big red flag to anyone who recognized the potential medical implications. Every stop that was reported in the media came off as either scripted and fake, and on every stop that wasn’t part of a scripted media event she seemed to have no interest in even being there.

Actually, she didn’t win because NOBODY wanted her

She’s past it and has been for a very long time. EVERYTHING she could possibly do wrong, SHE DID1

THEN still went around acting like she was ENTITLED to the office!!

Another big reason Clinton lost was that she was a lazy candidate who thought that all she had to do is show up, and she would be elected. She held a minimal amount of rallies, and even avoided her fawning lapdog media.

Hers was a LOW ENERGY campaign if there ever was one. She depended on massive amounts of negative ads, and when there was person to person contact to be made, she depended on Bill, Sanders, Warren, Biden, the 0bamas and even Gore. Her celebrity tour in the last week of the campaign made her look extremely weak.

On the other hand, Trump campaigned non-stop, never more than a day or two without a rally, and on those days he had other kinds of public events. He campaigned like he wanted to win, whereas her events were so tightly scripted and short that she gave everyone the impression that she really didn’t want to be there.

6) She tried to rerun the Obama campaign despite being the whitest woman currently walking the planet.

And she said something like, “I ain’t noways tired.” And she said it in a way she thought black people spoke...which should be seen as condescending.

She lost the election in the final two weeks because of avoidable things like
Obama embracing her that sent the electorate a frightening message. The
Royal Idiot's ringing endorsement of Hillary meant many people had
moved over to the Trump side.

CAUTION: prolonged viewing causes violent retching.

This frickin' faked pose oughta be good for a point."

Hubby BillyBoy Clinton was a BIG reasons why she lost.

Hillary lost for one reason and one reason only. No one likes her. In 2008 the democrats ran to a first term senator and in 2016 she had to rig the primaries to beat an old commie. Had Joe run, he would have beat her in a walk.

And in the general she faced a political neophyte who did everything wrong and should have lost by 30 points and still couldn't win. Because nobody likes her.

She didn’t dress sexy enough.

If she had just shown more leg and cleavage she coulda won this thing.

She also nominated a demented creepy clown as her VP.

When her health became visibly shaky a lot of voters
fled in horror.

Dittoes on Anthony Weiner. Thank God for this pervy POS.

Because the FBI started investigating him sexting a minor which lead to discovering Hillary emails on his personal device which lead to Comey reopening the investigation again Hillary, I saw that as the one key final straw that lead to Hellary’s defeat.

So, in your first three weeks on FR, how’s the blog pimping going?

C'mon, Bob- be fair. He did not excerpt it, so we can choose to go to the blog or not, without having to do so to get the rest of the story.

6. Voters are getting damned tired of legacy candidates with a sense of entitlement to the Presidency or any other high office. Hillary lost the Presidency for the same reason that Jeb lost the GOP primaries: she strutted around with the expectation that the Presidency would just be handed to her by default, rather than doing anything to earn it.

Another suggested #6: Her voice.

I can’t think of another woman alive who has such a nasty, grating, shrieking, ear-shattering voice. It’s a million times worse than a billion fingernails screeching down a chalkboard. (”Just stop, stop talking, stop NOW!”)

6. She didn’t bother to campaign.

Exactly what I've been telling all my "alt-left" friends. Hitlery is the perfect embodiment of the Millennial class of people. She EXPECTED to get the nomination and EXPECTED to be elected. Why bother putting yourself out there when she KNEW she was pre-ordained to win.
