Hillary Clinton blames Comey and WikiLeaks as 'determinative' factors behind her 2016 loss

I graduated from high school the same year that The Moody Blues started as a band. I was hooked with their 2nd album, Days of Future Passed, and have been a fan ever since. I play their music all the time.

Their unique style of classical music merged with rock and glued together in the beginning by the keyboard sounds on the Mellotron, shot them to the top of the charts, where they stayed for a decade.

They are one of the few rock and roll band where you can actually understand the lyrics to their songs.

But I was never able to see them in concert over the last 50 years until last October. I traveled from Florida to Arizona to attend my 50th high school reunion. I spent a month there so I was looking for people to see and things to do.

I by chance saw an ad on TV for them in concert at the Venetian Hotel and Casino In Las Vegas. Their last night in Vegas was the first Saturday I was in Arizona. Las Vegas is only 4-5 hours from Phoenix. So I drove to Vegas and saw my favorite all-time rock and roll band, The Moody Blues, live in concert for the first time ever. They were great and I had a fantastic time.

It was their 50th anniversary concert tour and it was my 50th high school reunion. Definitely the highlight of my retirement life.

This thread was about The Moody Blues wasn't it? :-)

“Hillary Clinton blames Comey and WikiLeaks as ‘determinative’ factors behind her 2016 loss”

interesting perspective. I was under the impression that Hillary lost because she got caught lying over and over again, committed large numbers of criminal acts over the many decades of her tainted political career, not to mention that her only campaign platform was to attack Donald Trump, as well as his potential supporters, which apparently wasn’t a great way of getting them to vote for her.

She arrogantly counted on the Monica Media to drag her carcass across the finish line. They did their best, completely ignoring Wikileaks, but alternative media filled in.

Then she took all that time off, thinking her television ads would do the trick.

But her biggest mistake was ignoring Bubba when he recommended campaigning in the Rust Belt states.

Well, what a nice story. It's glorious how we get attached to music that inspires us.

I enjoyed hearing your analysis of what made the Moody Blues unique. I looked up the Mellotron and discovered its origins and the many British bands who used it.

So congrats on a life-long dream fulfilled to see them in concert.

WikiLeaks exposed the actual contents of emails sent and received by Clinton and Clinton campaign officials.

So, if Clinton is blaming WikiLeaks for her loss, then she is blaming the truth about herself and her campaign for the loss.

The truth caused her to lose. Imagine that.
