> And she is a demonstrated LOSER. <

True that. But one reason Hillary lost in 2016 is that she was lazy. Too lazy to visit the battleground states, and too lazy to stuff the ballot boxes.

She won’t make those mistakes again.

When your ardent articulate supporters are writing articles like this, take it as a very serious sign to STOP ALREADY.

Some people just don’t know how to take the message. Yes, you may have done X in good faith (or...well...not), but you should accept glaring signs that in doing so you *ed up, should shut up, and go about your business supportive of the cause before you tear down & alienate everyone (making matters far worse than damage already done).

I’m dealing with someone else who is pulling the same “but it’s their fault! and it’s all I’m going to talk about!” stunt. Driving me nuts, and it’s about to wreck a whole lot when it could be just patched & put behind.

she lost it to an opponent singularly unqualified to hold the office.

The left just says sh*t because it looks and feels good while American morons suck it up as fact from the a-hole media and cesspool social media. Notice how "singularly unqualified" is the talking point in all liberal media and social sites.

They really have no idea, do they?

She wasn’t “too lazy”. She hit her limits, couldn’t address battleground states when struggling to maintain just her base - both as base losing interest (held a pep rally in a HALLWAY while Trump was filling STADIUMS), and her physical limits preventing sufficient engagement with swayable voters.

And she didn’t just LOSE to Trump, she actively facilitated his win - on the delusion that he was “singularly unqualified”.

Yes, Hillary is "inspiring."

She inspires revulsion.

Her campaign had one theme: Donald Trump is horrible, don't vote for him.

Since the election the Democrats and the media have had as their theme: Donald Trump is horrible, he must be removed from office.

“an opponent singularly unqualified to hold the office”

uh, they’re talking about the guy who’s on the verge of bringing peace to the Korean pennisula after 2/3 of a century of previous failure and potentially denuclearizing same, right?

But when it comes to the national political landscape, she has not yet reached the point where she can sound off in a way that doesn’t reek of self-pity and bitterness and rationalization. Until that changes, she should recognize the yuge favor she is doing the GOP - and, by extension, Donald Trump.

The Atlantic ain't seen nothin' yet... Hillary WILL BECOME THE FACE OF CORRUPT LIBERAL 'ELITES' FOR ALL TIME...

There was no need to read further. President Trump has proven to be one of the most qualified and competent presidents to ever hold that office.

Hillary isn't going anywhere. She still has the media, the DNC, and whaddaya know, the Clinton Foundation Is Revving Back Up. She'll need to entice the Bernie wing back, and a shrewd combination of promising student loan forgiveness, free college, corporate tax hikes, and maybe Bernie as VP should snare at least some of his voters. She's tone-deaf enough to put young Gauleiter Hogg on her team as well.

This does not guarantee a victory in the national election - not even the 90% support she had in the media in '16 could do that - but it just might guarantee the nomination. True, 2020 is eons away in political time, but if the campaign began today she'd waltz onto the ticket. The Dems are looking for a savior and she's spent the last 20 years killing them all.

She’s going to run again in 2020.........bet the mortgage money on it...........................

No. A lot of the party hates her. The election was hers to lose and she lost it to Trump, somebody they really hate. So for Bernie's bros and some others in the party, she's to blame for the defeat and everything that went wrong.

It's like Everett Dirksen denouncing Thomas Dewey at the 1952 Republican Convention: "We followed you before, and you took us down the path to defeat! We will not follow you again in that regard."
