The epic nature of Hillary’s collapse: Defeated by arrogance, hubris and gall
New York Daily News ^ | November 12, 2016 | Michael Tracey

Posted on 11/12/2016 5:46:12 AM PST by OddLane

Most devastating electoral defeats in United States history at least had some mitigating circumstances. In 1984, Walter Mondale got blown out by Ronald Reagan, a popular incumbent President presiding over an improving economy. Barry Goldwater lost the 1964 election by a large margin, but his opponent was another incumbent President with extensive resources to marshal.

Hillary Clinton’s stunning collapse is different. It’s hard to think of a historical analog that could come close to resembling the magnitude and depth of the failure. She had a popular incumbent President campaigning for her furiously; the popular First Lady did likewise. The economy is far healthier than it was eight or even four years ago.

One has to wonder if the polls showing the current president to be so popular are as worthless as the polls showing Hillary 12 points ahead.
************************************************************

Of course they are worthless, how could anyone think otherwise knowing what we know now?

On his road to take the White House, Donald Trump not only single-handedly vanquished two dynasties: Bush and Clinton, he left the democrat party in shambles, crouching in a fetal position sucking its thumb. “Where did we go wrong?”

Face it now, isn’t this what we as conservatives always wanted? To expose and humiliate the democrat party? And it took someone from the private sector to come along and do it. Our founding fathers were truly the wisest of men.

Donald Trump, you rock!

I wonder if there is any movement to PROVE the 10 million illegal votes? I’ve heard if you take the illegal vote out of just California, Trump would have won the popular too. Wonder if anyone is working on this.

Good points. No no one is working on this or addressing voter fraud. This is why I’m posting it like crazy so maybe someone will get it to President Trump and so that he will fix it.

We did it, RIV! We saved America! (at least for now)

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.

Beware, however, Hillary junior is being primed for politics.

Not if she gets convicted with a felony(s). Said before, Chelsea is quite indictable.

Favorite part of that video is when John Oliver, the latest resident Brit who somehow claims to know what Americans want, declares that America doesn’t want Trump to be president.

Great video, worth watching whenever the leftist MSM’s lies start to get me down.

I’m thinking popular president and first lady are just as off as the fake polls.
