It’s OK To Mourn For Our First Female President

Honestly, I dont see how she was held back for being a Woman. She had plenty of opportunity in her life, was a Senator, Secretary of State, but because she lost a Presidential Election, it's because of sexism and not how she ran her campaign? Trump actually worked harder than she did when it came to going out on the road and campaigning, whether you liked his message or not. Had he not done that, he would not be president
Many polls showed her up 8 to 10 pts before Comey. Also I think there was a 4 point change for Trumpers refusing to cooperate with polls...
Liberal pundits had her at 400 electoral college votes.....:rofl:
Everyone had her winning easily before Comey...
'Everyone' had her winning after Comey as well.

'Everyone' was wrong.
Duh. WHY? "I think there was a 4 point change for Trumpers refusing to cooperate with polls..."
Why?
Because they based their projections on algorithms that were totally incorrect this cycle.
 
She had more policies than tax the rich. Spending was her second policy.

Spending is bad enough, but what Democrats do is spend money on their constituents and not for the better of the country. Vote buying is costing us an arm and a leg but liberals are too blind too see it. They want to keep spending and even expand spending on social goodies like what big-ears did.
The GI bill, infrastructure investment, and cheap college was what made us great. Stopping investment in America is what's made us chumps the last 35 years. Thanks New BS GOP and the dupes.


No. Some govt policy is not what made our country. That came from ethics and morals. Not some worthless bureaucratic policy that is never held to accountability.
Good gov't policy IS good ethics and morality. Like the Greatest Generation and FDR and Truman, Ike, JFK, and LBJ.
LBJ? He was a racist and a thug. The Dems set the bar pretty low.
Medicare, Medicaid, civil rights, dupe- too bad about the gd war.
Republicans are responsible the for civil rights LBJ took credit for. Remember he said " I will have those ******* voting Democratic for the next 200 years."

You do realize that censoring that word defeats the purpose of using that quote.
 
How exactly did Gerrymandering win trump more EV?

I've noticed, in the past several years, “gerrymandering” popping up with increasing frequency among liberals' excuses for losing elections; even on votes where there is no plausible way for gerrymandering to have any effect. I suspect that the overwhelming vast majority of those who make this excuse have no clue at all what gerrymandering is, how it works, or what its limitations are.

It might be interesting to see a liberal trying to explain how gerrymandering is supposed to have affected the Presidential election.

Democrat voters are like trained seals. They are told what to say, not understand what they say.

The Party of Excuses just gives them talking points and they come to places like USMB and repeat what they were told.

In the mind of a Democrat, most of the country is liberal. Their friends are liberals, most of their family are liberals, their coworkers are liberal, and everybody at Starbucks is liberal, therefore, most of the country must be liberal in their mind.

Sure, there are Republicans, but they are on their yachts or in their pickup trucks with a gun rack on the back. But they are very much the minority. After all, the Democrat politicians told them Republicans are a dying breed of old white men and will soon be off the planet.

This is why when Republicans win seats and even the presidency, they flip out. They can't understand. Republicans can't be winning fairly because most of the country is liberal just like me! Something must have went terribly wrong!
Gerrymandering has never been worse, ditto reporting and foreign interference- and voter suppression (that one, maybe not lol). Some people still like thinking.

Gerrymandering has absolutely nothing to do with the ev, which is determined by state, not congressional district. So how did it cause Hillary to lose?
It's only in the House, dupe.

I don't think there is enough facepalms for this moronic response.

Of course gerrymandering only affects the house. That is precisely what I've been telling you. You guys are the idiots who keep trying to claim that gerrymandering is why Hillary lost.

This is precisely why I'm not impressed when people brag about advanced degrees. Where did you get your masters, clown college?

If she won by enough to get congress, not true. False GOP line...

Are you talking about her getting elected Senator in bat shit crazy Libtard New York just because of the name of her husband? LOL

She wasn't even from that state and she had absolutely no qualifications and the idiot Moon Bats elected her to the Senate. Of course they got what they voted for. A do nothing Senator that voted for the invasion of Iraq.

Crooked Hillary has always been a piece of shit. Thank goodness she will not be President. She need to spend the rest of her miserable hateful life in a Federal Women's Correctional Facility.

If by wrote and pushed t laws you mean filibustered the bills to delay civil rights for nearly a decade then you would be right.

We saw what happens when a woman dares to seek power. It was heartbreaking.

Six months ago I lay in bed with tears in my eyes. I was staring at my tiny iPhone screen, watching a larger-than-life woman stand before a packed crowd in Brooklyn, dressed all in white like some kind of goddess wizard, making history as she officially became the presumptive Democratic nominee for president.

For the first time, a woman had a shot at real political power. For the first time, we could tell our daughters: You could be anything! And it would actually be true. As autumn approached, you could feel the excitement. Women were on the brink. On the morning of Election Day, they dressed in pantsuits and welled up, holding their little girls’ hands at the voting booth, posting adorable photos.

That night was a devastation. Ambitious women and girls across the country didn’t get a new role model. They got a smackdown.

Though the sexism behind Clinton’s loss has hardly been a secret, it’s taken me awhile to truly grapple with what lays at the bottom of those election results. Clinton’s loss isn’t simply about emails or Russian hacking or James Comey or the perils of the Electoral College or the struggles of the so-called white working class. Underneath that, her loss has everything to do with the different expectations men and women face in our country. Her loss is about what we do to women who dare to seek power.

This struck me as I read Ta-Nehisi Coates’ incredible essay on Barack Obama’s presidency. “To secure the White House,” Coates writes in The Atlantic, “Donald Trump needed only money and white bluster.” This is the simplest evidence you need to understand that of course racism played a role Trump’s election, Coates writes.

Immediately, I realized, Coates missed something.

It wasn’t just money and bluster.

Trump is a man.

Much of the country went for the guy. Sure, technically she got more votes, is winning the popular vote by millions, but a huge percentage of the country went for him. Obama voters switched sides. He won.

With his utter lack of government experience, track record of lies, without disclosing his taxes, with his hateful comments about women, his boast about sexual assault. For all that, Trump was seen as more “authentic” than her. More likable.

That’s sexism. You can dress it up in as many ill-advised email servers or Benghazi hearings as you like.

Time and again, men get a pass.

Not really.

You do not seem to understand how polling works. It is heavily weighted on assumptions that the pollsters make. Assumptions that they were utterly incorrect on.
 
ummm..... she didn't lose becuase of her gender, she lost because she was an ultimate- insider and rigged her own Primary :thup:

BTW- nice 16 smiley thread :clap2:

Incorrect.

We saw what happens when you nominate a previous Primary loser for a shot at the title; relying upon re-treads rather than new blood. Zero imagination.

We saw what happens when you nominate a corrupt East Coast Establishment Politician who is beholden to the Corporatists.

We saw what happens when you nominate a former (and under-performing) Department head who exited her assignment under a very dark cloud.

We saw what happens when you nominate a former official who repeatedly lied to Federal law enforcement and to Congress regarding her electronic security lapses.

We saw what happens when you nominate a former official who was under criminal investigation until just days prior to her nomination.

We saw what happens when you get caught with your pants down - telling Big Money that she has a Public Face for the Plebs and another Private Face for the Patricians.

We saw what happens when you nominate a former official whose spouse inappropriately interacted with the attorney general on an airport tarmac within days of the release of an all-clear statement by DOJ.

We saw what happens when your Party Chair has to resign the day your Convention begins because she was caught stacking the deck against your Primary competition.

We saw what happens when you're out-ed as encouraging party activists to interrupt the political events of the opposition.

We saw what happens when you flip-flop on LGBT, NAFTA, inner-city Super Predators, etc., simply to whore-monger more votes, at a time when America is clearly sick of that.

We saw what happens when you stand alongside an invasion force of 11-12,000,000 Illegal Aliens rather than standing alongside your own countrymen.

We saw what happens when you arrogantly delude yourself that you're The Anointed One, that you've got it in-the-bag, and that you can ignore White Middle America.

We saw what happens when you berate and label your opposition as a Basket of Deplorables.

We saw what happens when LibTards phukk-up and try to delude the rest of the country into believing that the LibTard agenda and their own behaviors were not to blame.

The fact that she is a woman has very little to do with it.

Silly, delusional little LibTard pekkerwoods.

Once again, Chief Chitting Bull lives up to his-her-its name...

I absolutely love the left's hysteria, absolute hypocrisy, and endless cries of Russia--keep posting!! Please don't stop.

 
Yeah, thanks to NaziCon gerrymandering, voter suppression, conspiracy theories, fake news, lies, Comey, and Putin. You must feel really proud.

How exactly did Gerrymandering win trump more EV?

I've noticed, in the past several years, “gerrymandering” popping up with increasing frequency among liberals' excuses for losing elections; even on votes where there is no plausible way for gerrymandering to have any effect. I suspect that the overwhelming vast majority of those who make this excuse have no clue at all what gerrymandering is, how it works, or what its limitations are.

It might be interesting to see a liberal trying to explain how gerrymandering is supposed to have affected the Presidential election.

Democrat voters are like trained seals. They are told what to say, not understand what they say.

The Party of Excuses just gives them talking points and they come to places like USMB and repeat what they were told.

In the mind of a Democrat, most of the country is liberal. Their friends are liberals, most of their family are liberals, their coworkers are liberal, and everybody at Starbucks is liberal, therefore, most of the country must be liberal in their mind.

Sure, there are Republicans, but they are on their yachts or in their pickup trucks with a gun rack on the back. But they are very much the minority. After all, the Democrat politicians told them Republicans are a dying breed of old white men and will soon be off the planet.

This is why when Republicans win seats and even the presidency, they flip out. They can't understand. Republicans can't be winning fairly because most of the country is liberal just like me! Something must have went terribly wrong!
Gerrymandering has never been worse, ditto reporting and foreign interference- and voter suppression (that one, maybe not lol). Some people still like thinking.
