Featured Clinton blames Comey for loss! Who is really to blame?

She lost the moment she called Americans deplorable

 

What she's saying is the bad news hurt and so did the good news. She just can't accept that all this is her fault. No private email server, no scandal.

 

Racists, white supremacists, hypocritical Christians.

I would say THANK YOU Comey for an early Christmas gift then!!

 

Don't know how you figure that. If Christians had not been such hypocrites, many more folks could have stayed home and he still wouldn't have won.

Paul, so let me flip this on its head a bit. Do you see Trump as a moral and virtuous man? Certainly not a Christian. See I don't see our country healing until we have come to terms with Christ being Lord and repented of our sins......only that will heal the wounds. Micah 6:8

 

The voters are to blame.

People didn't go for the one who said sweet things to them, and they weren't just miffed that Hillary said mean things. It wasn't just any change they wanted. They wanted the right change. They wanted survival even if it meant staying united behind a flawed candidate who wouldn't be kowtowed, because Heaven knows, that's how the other side fights.

So now we're going to hear about "dialogue" and "debate" and "the exchange of ideas," the time for all of which was over when they had the House and the Senate. They had to act. They had to get things done for the American people.

Well, now the people have spoken, and there is no denying that. Bernie would not have won against Trump. This election transcended personalities. Now those who truly represent the people of the United States have the House, the Senate and the White House. They own Washington now. And the time for dialogue and debate is over. It's time to get things done for the American people.

 

So the candidate who worked with her party's national convention to rig her primary wasn't able to energize her base during the general election? Who'd a thunk it?

 

So why did they not select Walker, John Kasaich (spelling) or even Cruz? Why Trump (clearly flawed on so many levels). Aaron, on a clear Christian level, they could have had very moral men. Trump, not so much.
Personally, I question his sanity! Anyway we are all going to have to wait & see & pray for this character.

 

Because an anti-career politician sentiment was running high this year. Look at the runners up, Bernie and Cruz, both running as "outsider." Then you have Clinton and Trump, entrenched pol versus true outsider.

 

Your career Military......how do you feel about private militias?

 

I would not use the word militia for something that did not have the veneer of governmental support, be it federal, state, county, municipal.

Now, if a group wants to pool resources for training and preparedness, that's their business as long as they are not breaking any laws. Calling each other colonel or general seems silly to me, though.

Our founders greatly admired a Roman named Cincinnatus, so much so that they founded an order named after him. I believe we would be better off with more Cincinnati in office, and fewer political dynasties like the Clintons.

Thanks for this reasoned response, which forestalled my possibly making a less reasoned one.
As long as the party losing a national election chooses to blame the "deplorables" on the other side for that loss, the losing party's future will look dim.

"Basket of Deplorables" was HRC's version of Romney's "47 percent" blunder (though his had at least a tenuous basis in fact.) Telling a quarter of the electorate that they are awful characters is not the way to win friends and influence people. Also, I wonder how much effect the announced major increases in ACA premiums had on the election.

 

Im a big fan of the Cato Family. Cato the Elder in particular. The Donald does not share these virtues, which of course were early Roman Republic standards, not later Caesar dictator (decadent) later years....more the type we resemble.
