In a recent interview, Clinton added that she believed “misogyny played a role” in her loss.

The only woman anyone hated was Hilliary! She was positive the presidency was HERS this time and Trump was her dream opponent. Too bad she didn't get it that nobody wanted her - except the dyed-in-the-wool Liberals who only voted for her because she was the Liberal Democrat candidate.

Imagine how much she would have lost by if it wasn’t for the corrupt so-called media. They certainly did what they could.

It's scary how close they got to actually foisting that wretch on us!

Donald J. Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton in November came as a shock to the world.

Only those living in the liberal bubble world were "shocked" when Hillary lost to Trump.

Expectations were a little bit different, out here in the real world. From the moment Trump clinched the nomination, I knew it was all over, but for the crying.

Looking back, I had a very strong feeling that Trump would win it all, when he first threw his hat in the ring. He had a freshness, a boldness, and a uniqueness that no one else could match.

I felt the same way after Trump wiped out the other GOP candidates. After Pernie the Commie, the stench from Clinton showed she was rapidly becoming a fly blown carcass waiting to be buried. Trump was more than up to the task.

I really thought that video, of her collapsing on 9/11, should have been her campaign’s death knell. But her most ardent supporters, BIG MEDIA, pushed that video to the background, so most people didn’t even see it.

I think most people, including Democrats, did see that video, despite big media's attempts to downplay it.

It was prominently featured on loads of major news sites, and was viral on the internet for weeks. It led to a slew of follow-up videos (some by real medical professionals) which attempted to diagnose or explain what was wrong with her.

The major media didn't want to talk about it, but the internet buzzed for months on end about her very obvious health problems.

LOL!

Only thing that would have been better, is if she'd collapsed in the street before the Scooby van swooped up to haul her away.

Can’t believe they missed the obvious title, “Schlonged”.

To say Bernie and Joe were better candidates is “faint praise”.

Mook had “declined to use pollsters to track voter preferences in the final three weeks of the campaign,” despite pleas from advisers in crucial states.

We speculated at length if this might not have been the case. Clearly the swing to Trump was not sudden nor should it have been a surprise to any professional running the campaign in any normal way. They turned off the alarm system and flew blind, secure in an illusion of inevitability, and found out that the clouds were full of rocks.

True, Hillary was an almost grotesquely unattractive candidate: imperious, arrogant, entitled, and corrupt, corrupt, corrupt. It was not so much a matter of her failure to appeal to certain key demographics - working class people, flyover zone inhabitants - as it was an active aura of disdain and dismissal. Stating in public that not only was she happy to see coal miners lose their jobs but would do what she could to make it happen is only one example. Had she been more diplomatic and sympathetic that might have been walked back, but neither of those qualities is in her. They were her class enemies and must be destroyed. And they destroyed her.

This disdain extended to optics as well - somebody actually had to point out that her convention was embarrassingly free of American flags, for heaven's sake, before that was corrected. This was not an oversight, it was a reflection that she did and does not love the country, only those pieces of it that are bonded together by a sense of resentment and entitlement. That was the coalition she intended to ride to power and the one she intended to reward, and anyone not in it knew exactly what she was about. When her supporters responded to "Make America Great Again" with "America Was Never Great" the mask was torn off for good.

And so yes, it was a terrible, clumsy, repellent, resentful, mean-spirited campaign to put someone in office who was exactly like that. Thank God it failed.

Someone KNEW she was behind the last few days. The victory fireworks display was canceled several days before the election, and she was (GASP) trying to get on talk radio during that time.

Just think how inept they would have been when it came to running the country. We didn’t just dodge a bullet, we dodged a nuclear bomb.

When one is willing to eschew reality and tell her advisers, “Tell me something good”, one gets a lot of surprises....

‘Those pieces of it (America) that are bonded together by a sense of resentment and entitlement’

That coalition created by OBAMA AND THE DEMOCRAT PARTY. Those America hating people that wanted another America hating President. Somehow, regular Americans rose up to throw off the mantle of Socialism. Pray that our country continues along the right path now. The Left is always lurking just over our shoulder to destroy this wonderful country, founded for the freedoms that are bestowed on us by the Lord. The Left hates Christianity, too. Too bad for them it is a great way to live your life.
