I'd like to take this time to congratulate Hillary on her popular vote win. She truly demonstrated how a campaign is run to ensure this kind of victory.
True, and if not for Putin, Assange, gerrymandering, lies, fake news, and Comey - she would be living in the White House.
You forgot her lousy candidacy. None of those things would have had an impact if she wasn't the worst possible candidate the democrats could put forth. Heck, Skippy the Wonder Dog would have been better.
Exactly! If the Democrats hadn't pick such a deplorable candidate with a unfavorability rating higher than her favorability rating, maybe the Democrats would have won.
As it is, and as history shows, after 8 years, the nation's voters, who've been unhappy with the nation's direction since the 1990s, vote for the other party. When given only two viable choices, the majority of voters vote for the challenging party, not the incumbent party. This was the Republican's election to lose and they eeked out a win because, let's face it, Trump wasn't much of a better choice than Hillary, but at least he represented change.
