It takes a lot to lose an election when your opponent is Donald Trump. But Hillary managed it.
One reason was for that very reason. That once he won the nomination, she won the Presidency. This was her thinking.
And so she was silent, waited out the clock, salivating whenever Trump made another gaffe which she witnessed from an undisclosed location.
And then she made the worst comment in political history, when she described Trump supporters as deplorable and irredeemable.
Irredeemable is a concept not embraced by many Americans and certainly not Liberal ones.
People on Death Row are not considered irredeemable, nor should they be.
Hillary lost. She should never been coronated and no one ever explained to the Democrats why they were given no choice as to their nominee.
Trump beat 17 opponents. I believe Bernie Sanders would have beaten 17 opponents.
Trump began in two full poker tables, where he played one off the other, collecting more and more of chips each time a rival busted out.
Hillary was in a game of heads-up, with a massive chip lead from the beginning and all the fellow pros cheering her on from the rail.
America wanted their next President to be an outsider. Trump vs. Sanders would have electrified all voters, not half of them.
But now it is over and the President will soon be Donald Trump.
Many people think Donald Trump is legally unfit to be President. if this is true, articles of impeachment should directly be drawn up.
Most reasonable people do not believe this.Many reasonable people hope that something from the President’s past or immediate future stop him
It is hard to know how many Democratic voters would prefer if Trump was a successful President good for the country and how many would not.
What really seems to disappoint the left is the vast amount of their fellow Americans who they feel were either duped by a mountebank or…
who share his “hatred” and “misogyny” and “cruelty” and so on.
Most, i feel, think the latter is the case. that desperate people bought snake-oil.
The people who believe the former, hat half the country are irredeemable racists,truly hate their neighbors,but I think this is a myopic few
So, then, they are profoundly disappointed that tens of millions of their fellow Americans were duped into scapegoating and worse.
“Wait until Trump’s base realize he will not do what he promised”, they warn.
This makes you wonder if they want Trump to act on his more outrageous rhetoric or not. Which would make them more unhappy.
They are convinced that they must be unhappy with a Trump Presidency. They simply have too much invested in its failure.
To put it another way, Trump is too big to succeed.
Obama faced the same dilemma. Some would rather see him fail than the country succeed.
Many on the left are shocked that America is still a racist country.They are not racist.So for the country to be racist, all else just be.
Of course half the country do not like to be condescended to by the other half and do not feel like they need to be told why they voted.
To be called deplorable is obscene but to be called irredeemable is profane.
No one knows what the next four years will bring.
But the losers in this cycle worry about hate becoming the prevailing emotion.
The answer is not to hate those who voted for a different candidate.
The answer, and it is the only answer that ever has been or ever will be, is not to hate but to love. And the greatest love is of your enemy.
