Trump won over Hillary primarily because Americans are incredibly stupid

[Yousaidwhat]

I say this with some caveats:

1) For the most part I did not like Hillary. She had a few strong qualities, but she was a terrible candidate. She was terrible at campaigning. It was incredibly embarrassing she lost to a degenerate like Donald Trump. A couple of her scandals had some degree to truth to them even if for the most part Faux News and republicans wildly exaggerated them.

2) It didn't help that the Russian puppets at Wikileaks targeted one political party to influence the election.

3) if Hillary had lost against a reasonable moderate like Romney or Huntsman, I could forgive the American people for making the still stupid mistake of electing a republican.

4) Lastly, I agree the DNC is corrupt and completely untrustworthy. They also majorly failed in explaining why the democrat party is better for average joe than the souless GOP who only cares about the profits of the richest among us. Can you imagine the troves of corruption we would find in the RNC emails? We didn't because Putin/Wikileaks knew helping a peon like Trump win was in the best interests of Russia.

However, despite all of that, Trump still should have easily lost. I think it is nothing short of a nightmare that ANY other republican in the 2016 race is not president instead. I wouldn't be happy in the least if Ted Cruz was currently president. I can't stand that creepy piece of shit, but at least I know he has some level of professionalism and intelligence when it would come to being president. At least Cruz would have understood the basics in designing public policy.

Hell, I would GLADLY take GW Bush over Trump and that says A LOT.

Trump on the other hand is no smarter or more emotionally mature than the degenerate sitting at the corner of the bar at 2AM spouting off conspiracy theories he saw on InfoWars. Trump is an unprecedented disaster in American politics.

All of his corrupt bullshit should have been more than enough for the large majority of American voters to say "fine, I'll vote for Hillary. It sucks, but obviously anyone is better than Trump."

The shrilary lost because she took the blue collar middle class workers that got screwed over by NAFTA for granted. She IGNORED them. And, she was an even worse candidate than the trumpster.

It ultimately shouldn't be about the propaganda techniques between the two parties. It should have been simple to realize ANY other candidate would have been better.

Then the Democrat Party should have ran a better candidate.

It was Hillary's turn. That is not a reason to vote for a candidate.

As a life long Democrat, I had a hard time accepting the insults and accusations.

And you still continue and some of us left because of people, just... Like... You!

The problem you face now is finding a viable candidate for 2020.

One that will bring back those of us who left.

Which I doubt will happen.

You will continue to insult, while failing to look at yourself and where the Democrat Party is going.

You will riot, destroy and burn.

You have Trump because you chose Hillary.

Now in 3,2,1...

You pathetic rant of intolerance....

So you agree with me that Trump didn't win on his merits, he won on Hillary Clinton's deficits.

Yes. I would say so.

But I'm willing to give him a chance.

Trump won over Hillary primarily because Americans are incredibly stupid

Trump won over Hillary, because Hillary and her pathetic sycophants have made it very clear that this is what they think of most Americans.

Letting people know that you think they are stupid is not a very effective way to win their support.

I don't understand how you people so easily misunderstand the basic premise of my thread. ANY other candidate in the 2016 race is far better than Trump.

We had 2, count them... 1,2 candidates to choose from.

Clinton or Trump.

Hillary was not an acceptable candidate for many of us.

You just can't accept this.

The Republicans had 17 candidates to choose from.

I'm not a Republican.

That's not why Trump won. He only won by getting a few thousand votes in 3 states. He got those votes over trade and jobs issues. Hillary's loss had nothing to do with Mac1958s rant.

It's who they are. And they're too full of themselves to see it.

Fortunately, there are liberals out there to point it out. These people are NOT liberals.

By all means Billy continue the Hillary playbook of calling voters stupid or better yet deplorables. Because by insulting voters you'll win big again.

 

[blackhawk]

Hillary lost in no small part due to the fact she displayed the same attitude as the OP towards Trump supporters when she called them deplorable, unAmerican, and irredeemable. She not only insulted those who were supporting Trump but anyone who was leaning or considering voting Trump that was her Mitt Romney fourty seven percent moment.

I fully understand the premise of your thread. What you fail to understand is how absurdly wrong that premise is.

And for all his faults, Mr. Trump was still not nearly as bad a choice as Mrs. Clinton would have been. Had your side run someone who had some vestige of competence and integrity, perhaps that candidate might have won. But you ran the most spectacularly corrupt, incompetent candidate that your side could muster, who went on to openly express contempt for a very large part of the American population; and then were surprised when that candidate lost.

Your side openly aligns with perverts, criminals, and other subhuman filth; siding against the interests of honest, decent, law-abiding Americans.

Your side refuses to acknowledge its mistakes, so it will continue to make those same mistakes, and will continue to lose in future elections.

"Incredible stupidity" is how 0bama won twice.

It seems the OP just hasn't learned. You can't win over voters by calling them names. It just doesn't work. Perhaps this worked in the 80s and 90s... people were proud and cared about how others thought of them. It doesn't work in the 21st century. The name calling just seems to galvanize their resolve... The Deplorables, for example. Hillary made the denigration and that group turned it into a badge of honor and wore it proudly.

You're just not going to win elections with identity politics anymore. But really, that's all you have because your party has become the party of special interests. You're not listening and responding to the general public, you have to pander to this group and that group. Younger generations are becoming less and less hive-minded and more independent in their thinking.

It is your failure to understand the changing landscape of politics which has landed you in this predicament. You've now lost all your political power. You don't control any branch of government at the federal level and on the state level, only four states have majority Democrat legislatures with Democrat governors. It's the weakest the party has been in over 100 years.... and it ain't because the Republicans are all that great.

And here you are.... continuing to try and denigrate and insult your way back to relevancy. Calling people stupid isn't going to work. But hey... please, don't listen to me, don't take my advice. I hope that you all remain clueless and continue to do what you've been doing.

It's not the young that are voting for idiots. It's the hive-minded older folks (mostly in rural America). There was a time when I patiently and respectfully tried to reason with them... Didn't seem to work.

 

[Bob Blaylock]

Both Obama and Bill also had substance, but so does Hillary, far more than Trump has. The nimnos voted for Trump because they are dumb, no doubt about it.

Hubris, corruption, and utter contempt for the very public that they purportedly sought to serve and represent, do not constitute “substance”.

And Trump beat them all.

Really the status quo people had it down to Jeb and Hillary, that's who they wanted. They win either way, same old, same old.

That's not what happened though.

Their whole rigged system is imploding and it is glorious to behold to say the least!

I agree with you, there are more stupid Americans, fortunately there are just enough smart Americans for the Don to have won the election. God Bless the USA!!!!!
