I thought she should've faced her supporters. They stuck by her all night, and I think they deserved a chance to hear her speak, even if it was a concession.

This is why I voted it "the worst".  The fact that she didn't face her supporters.  Losing sucks, and I've worked on my share of losing campaigns, but the folks behind her deserved the leader to stay to the end and give the bad news.  She couldn't even face them to tell them, personally, to go home, it's not looking good, but it isn't over.

The fact that this imbecile thinks crying over losing a video game and crying over losing election are the same thing says everything. I'm glad he comes from such cushiness that the winner of an election doesn't matter, but not everyone has that luxury. Although it seems clear that pointing out just how much so many people have to lose under President Trump would go right over this moron's head. I suppose these folks wouldn't really count as "real Americans" anyway. Roll Eyes

F-cking pinhead.
Ad hominems and personal insults. Nice. Is this the 'tolerant' left in action once more?

Being a dumbass Republican is a choice, and I am more than happy to judge you on it. Purple heart

I love how Trump has exposed leftists.

I always knew it, but this election has made the proof undeniable.
Exposing the hypocrisy of others is what Trump does best.  It's why he's both entertaining and successful, often despite his lack of message discipline and a verbal filter.

I can imagine that Hillary was utterly devastated by her loss.  It was on a par of Broadway Joe's 1968 Jets dumping the 13-1 Colts in the Super Bowl; a rude, humiliating upset in which the winner won a bit ugly.  But you go out and face the media; THAT'S WHAT A LEADER DOES!!!  Cry later.  Get drunk later.  But show up, buck up the troops, put your supporters first. 

I don't want to put too much on this, but the fact that Hillary couldn't come out at 2:30 am when the going was tough begs the question of what kind of LEADER she really is.  Trump wouldn't have shied away.  He'd have been throwing bombs, talking about the rigged system, etc., but he would also have been talking about the "wonderful", "fantastic" people that stuck with him.  He'd have showed up; maybe he'd have been Trumpus Maximus, but he'd have shown up.  Hillary wasn't the sorest loser I've ever seen, and I enjoy a sore loser from time to time; at least moreso than a loser faking "good will".  But she was a self-absorbed "no show" when she needed to show, and that does speak volumes.

1. I didn't know you were now a leftist.
2. Are you pro-carbon tax?
3. Shutting down air travel would cripple the american economy for little gain.
4. Stealing cigarettes should not earn a death penalty.
5. Really? Abortion, affirmative action, healthcare, gay marriage, social security, prison policy, the 2nd amendment, tax rates for the wealthy, the size of the military, voter registration, green energy, and marijuana are what now?
6. Obama has at no point said that.
7. If you roll a fair die, and someone says it probably won't roll a 6, and you say it certainly will, you are wrong,  even if it did. You didn't outpredict pundits, you were stupid and lucky.

Remember the Clinton campaign sent this photo to Drudge? A picture of him in Islamic garb sent by "stressed Clinton staffers" during Obama's surge:

http://a57.foxnews.com/images.foxnews.com/content/fox-news/politics/2016/07/07/photo-obama-in-muslim-garb-shows-deep-ties-to-faith-oreilly-says/_jcr_content/article-text/article-par-5/images/image.img.jpg/880/558/1467920479674.jpg?ve=1&tl=1

The Obama campaign 100% believed her campaign was the one who sent this photo/started rumors of Obama not "having American roots" or "being a secret Muslim."

Hillary Clinton when asked by Steve Kroft if Obama is a Muslim: "No no no! There's nothing to base on... as far as I know."

As mentioned before, Obama blamed HER for these rumors/pictures. Thus, I take what Obama says over fake "fact checking" organizations.

Clinton invented birtherism.
So, you have a quote from an obama that Clinton got mad when Obama said she was responsible for a staffer implying he was muslim. You then use that as proof that Obama said Clinton was the originial birther. That's an impressive jump.
It's a jump people can believe.  Most folks believe that Trump's "Birtherism" was a hamhanded sideshow that was part of politics.  Most folks view Hillary as calculating; as one who would use surrogates to screw over a rival while maintaining plausible deniability.

Hillaristas are in massive denial over the fact that there are tangible reasons people hate her so passionately.  And they're in massive denial over the fact that she staffs her campaigns with the kind of smarmy folks who specialize in screwing folks over while maintaining plausible deniability.  Let's get real; this is a person who's minions seriously discussed a "Catholic Spring" movement to infiltrate the Catholic Church and pressure it to become more conforming to "progressive" dogma.  That's Podesta and Palmieri, Hillary's Bobsey Twins.  Thanks to Wikileaks, we know this.  That's why the Hillary Crowd are so out of joint; they were exposed for the malevolent folks they are during the 2016 campaign.  THEY no longer have "plausible deniability" about their character.
