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

Trump didn't win. Hillary lost. She did not have a coherent message. Her entire campaign was "I'm better than Trump."

At least Trump had a message, "Make America Great Again" and he stuck to it. There were few specifics on how he intended to accomplish that goal, but at least he had a goal that was articulable, which is more than Hillary had.

Also Hillary raised over $687 million dollars to Trumps $306 million. Clinton's funding came mostly from corporate giants and people like George Soros. Trump's funding came mostly from small individual donors, raised over the internet.

This election was a grass roots movement from beginning to end. It was the electorate's way of saying "enough is enough" to Washington DC politics as usual.

Now soon-to-be President Trump has to figure out a way to avoid becoming part of "Washington DC politics as usual." And that is going to be very hard to do.
Did he not campaign on "Drain the Swamp?" We will see...:rolleyes:

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

You must be missing a screw or two ... no one would dare say he was any of the above, just not anywhere as bad as the other candidate, Clinton!

As for your fantasy land desire for a believer to get into office in your lifetime or mine. Dream on! That would be wonderful, but not really possible!

Let's see here.....Comey cleared her. Twice.

She lost, so they blame Comey.

Now had she won....The very same shrieking crybabies would have called Comey a hero, noting that "He did his job and cleared the wonderful name of Hillary".

The DNC, if they ever want to learn from this, had better wake up, stop calling people deplorable, racists, fascists, homophobes, xenophobes, transphobes, s3xists, etc etc and LOOK INWARD!!!! THEY PUT UP AN AWFUL CANDIDATE.

There is a word for you....try this one on for size....."Cynical"
BTW ..... Scott Walker is a believer & so is Cruz & Huckabee & so is Kasich. But you'd much rather prefer Trump! :Roflmao

PS: Maybe I'm the Cynic. Maybe I'm not giving him a chance. Maybe its colored by his making fun of a CP gentlemen, maybe its colored by his low opinion of women, maybe I'm biased toward fellow Christian candidates vs "yea, sure I'm a Christian.... I go to church on Christmas & Easter"(the famous Marble Collegian church in Manhattan, where he says he met Marla Maples) and a whole host of other things about Trumps character that I dislike.

I didn't vote for him, I have no allegiance to him other than to be gracious & wait till the honeymoon is over.

Did not notice those names on my ballot. Also, did not vote for Trump either in our primary or last week. I hope never again to be faced with two such unappealing presidential candidates. However, Trump is president-elect of the country in which I'm a citizen so I now support him, while being ready to criticize when I think he's going off the rails.

You didn't notice those names because Christians didn't band together to demand a Christian candidate instead of "The Donald" & I suppose there was some excitement when "The Donald" personally attacked Cruz, Bush, Carley Ferena etc. It was a brawl and most people (including Christians) wanted to send a message to Washington. Well they certainly did, and they joined in the revelry & ignored their christian values which I personally find shameful.

Over the others? They weren't candidates - the only choice (viable, that is) was T or C, & in this case I certainly prefer T.
Not speaking for RD2, but just answering your logic.

JFTR, my initial pick, before all the sifting, WAS Scott Walker!!

I see Trump as an accident waiting to happen. Wait till he begins his borrowing Trillions from China probably......all the while we are already into them for how many billions?!? :Laugh that's brilliant!:Rolleyes

So you preferred to pass on the "accident waiting to happen" (perhaps, but at this point just speculation) for the accident(s) that have already happened, and others guaranteed to happen that are NOT just speculation?:eek::eek:

I made my decision Monday evening, filled out my ballot and delivered it to the election hopper Tuesday AM.

Without telling my final decision - here is my decision list:

1) Vote for Hillary.
2) Vote for Trump.
3) Leave blank.
4) Write in my choice for president, but vote down the Republican column
(4 Conservative WA State Representatives were elected).

Just a reminder - while I am neither a Republican or Democrat, I am a realist (conservative Representative seats were up for grabs).

I had decided not to vote at all and throw out the ballot at one point.

However when I was called an irredeemable deplorable in a basket - that choice was CANCELED.

IMO, the left progressives of "love" have to learn to "walk the walk" as well as "talk the talk".
I believe Hillary revealed her true feelings when she made this statement.

Hilariously, CNN made the statement during the election that 73% of voters had already made their mind up before Comey said anything.

What.....!?! Your post doesnt make sense.

Let me re-phrase.

So you preferred to pass on the "accident waiting to happen" -----{Trump} ----- (perhaps, but at this point just speculation), for "the accident(s) that have already happened, and others guaranteed to happen that are NOT just speculation" ---- {Clinton} :eek::eek:

No..... I did not vote for Clinton. I am glad we are free of the Clinton's, in fact I abhor her & her slimy husband.
