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.

“Beware, however, Hillary junior is being primed for politics.”
The obvious answer here is to pay her POS Capo husband to “mount her again successfully.”
Blame it on the defeated candidate to preserve the voter fraud, weaponized polling and DNC/Media collusion would be my guess.
THAT, my friend, is the nutshell.
At 7:30pm Pacific Time on Tuesday, when I saw Florida turning red - I knew it was almost a done deal. When the Faux Snooze media refused to call Georgia and North Carolina even though President Trump was up by significant margins with 80% of the vote in - I knew we would win.
Her husband took on four strong challengers for the nomination -- one of them later got the nomination. The only help he got as the camps moved on was Ron Brown telling people to get behind the front runner so they could lock up the nomination early. But Brown didn't try to fix the vote, at least not openly. (Yes, I do think he had something to do with Tsongas in New York, but that's another matter).
Bernie and Trump were packing them in at rallies, and she couldn't draw a crowd to save her life. The signs were there.
And instead of building herself up, she chose to tear down. And play the woman card.
That was very entertaining, thanks for posting. I love how conservatives keep using some of my favorite music for montages :). Only selection by Grieg that I truly enjoy.
They did succeed in getting elite women (media, Hollywood, etc) to wear sleeveless dresses in the middle of frigid winters. Michelle's workout toned arms caused clothing stores to sell mostly sleeveless dresses for eight years, limiting choices greatly.
Thank you! So nice, so nice.
Nah....that is an insult to teenagers. "Terrible Two'ers" is more descriptive.
Wednesday morning I asked my six year old who he thought won the election. He said,”Donald Trump because he has a better voice.”
That clip of her lecturing union members must have turned many of them to Trump.
I played this at a piano recitial once upon a time so it’s still one of my favorites:

Thanks! That lead to a few more liberal reaction vids that were most enjoyable.
Hillary lost because her own base didn’t like her.
That’s why Democrats wouldn’t come out to vote for her and still others voted for her opponent.
I’ve never seen a candidate get beaten like Hillary Clinton.
She was headed for an easy win and instead lost to Trump in one of the most stunning upsets in American history.
You don’t screw it up as thoroughly as Hillary did.
I played a very simplified version at my first piano recital-probably why I don’t enjoy it as much: bad memories, I’m not musical at all!!
Poor Hillary. Where was Ross Perot when she needed him? Remember only about 41% of the voters elected her husband, while the other 59% of the voters wanted someone else to be president. So, was Bill’s win fair? No, it was not, even though it followed the system and the rules which made his election legal, yet, it definitely was not fair, as the popular vote of the country was against Bill Clinton. The popular vote was for the other two candidates. So why didn’t we have another vote between just Perot and George Bush, Sr.? Wouldn’t that have been the fair thing to do, you know let the majority rule, rather then giving the job to the candidate, who the majority of the voters didn’t vote for? Probably, yet that is not how the system works. It’s a process, clear and simple, no matter how emotional some may feel, win or lose, we have a legal system to follow, whether or not it “feels” fair or not.
and corruption and ugliness and incompetence and infirmity and a voice like a trash can full of beer bottles falling down an elevator shaft and a resume thinner than hotel toilet paper and a list of accomplishments you could write on a postage stamp and ...
This Tracey character must be confusing his personal finances with the rest of the countries.

We need Rudy as AG to squash CGI and take out Baby $itch before she even gets started.
Yep - much as they keep carping that she won the popular vote, if you only count living American Citizens he won by 8 or 9 million. His Mandate is clear and he knows it.
