Hillary Clinton ran a great campaign and I can prove it (HC GP)

SNIP/

Hillary Clinton is releasing her book about the 2016 election, and she’s placing the bulk of the blame for her loss on herself.  This is where I stopped reading... But she’s also pointing out some of the other culprits involved, including the media and the fringe left, prompting them to fire back by accusing her of having run a poor campaign. However, that’s a silly claim. Hillary ran a great campaign, and I can prove it.


Hillary faced a general election opponent in Donald Trump who was criminally conspiring with a major foreign government to rig the election in his favor. She also faced a mainstream media that was intent on giving Trump a free pass by not vetting him, and free advertising by airing his rallies in full, because it didn’t want to lose its ratings cash cow. Finally, Hillary faced an FBI Director who went rogue eleven days before the election by releasing a letter which falsely claimed that she was under criminal investigation when she wasn’t. These aren’t excuses; they’re facts. And yet she still won the election by three million votes.

But she screwed up by not spending enough time in Wisconsin and Michigan, right? Wrong. She had those two states locked up, until James Comey sent his letter and frightened her least-sure voters into staying home. There was no way she could have anticipated Comey’s letter – and it came so late that there was no way to properly adjust strategy after the fact. Whatever you think Comey’s subsequent efforts to stand up to Donald Trump, the cold hard reality remains that he misled the public about a presidential nominee just days before election day, because he was assuming she would win and he was trying to cover his own ass for after the fact.

In fact the political reporters now attacking Hillary’s book are some of the same ones who spent the entire election flat out lying about her. It’s always great ratings to falsely scandalize the frontrunner while propping up the underdog, and most of the media didn’t hesitate to play that game. Hillary’s mere continued existence serves as a reminder of how thoroughly and inexcusably complicit the media is in Trump’s rise and the damage he’s currently doing to America. It’s why the media keeps trying to shush her now. It’s why the media is attacking her book without having any idea what’s even in it. They want her to go away, so we’ll forget that Trump is their fault.


Meanwhile the media rarely aired Hillary’s own words, and instead spent most of its time lying about her emails. The media ignored Hillary when she talked policy, and only aired her when she went after Trump, and then falsely claimed that she didn’t spent enough time talking policy. Major news outlets gambled that they could spent the entire election scandalizing and demonizing Hillary while giving a free ride to her opponents, and that their ratings cash-grab wouldn’t impact the final outcome anyway. They gambled wrong. The media didn’t understand the impact of Trump-Russia collusion, and didn’t see the Comey letter coming. Combined, they all conspired to rig the election against Hillary Clinton.


Again, these aren’t excuses. They’re just the facts. If you’re not aware of any of the above, it’s because you were misled or you weren’t paying attention. Despite the media placing its thumb on the other side of the scale in both the primary race and the general election, Hillary Clinton won them both in multimillion vote blowouts. Despite Russia and the FBI trying to sabotage her, Hillary still blew out Trump. She ran a great campaign. The end results prove it. Anyone claiming otherwise is peddling fiction.

I posted sections to do with the general & left out the middle b/c it's got to do with the primaries.

Pretty much the entire book is blaming other people.

1. those that supported this are traitors

I will add... You knew and were ok with it because you wanted trump to win. I will also not rule out shenanigans at the voting booth level and totals hacked giving trump more votes that he really had.

wait... what?  Maybe I need to read that again... for the first time...

  It's the MSM's fault for being in the lap of the [R]s...

So... Hillary takes the blame for her loss, ... but it's really the MSM, Stupid voters, FBI, and Russia that's to blame?

2. Yep there was so much f*ckery going on. It took a lot of our strength to put one foot in front of the other.

Oh... I almost missed it. It's from the Palmer Report.

I can prove she ran a great campaign, too: She Lost!!!!

Nothing like such a reputable source as the Palmer Report.

Ironclad.  Their record is impeccable...

Shit! Who am I kidding!   Palmer Report = 

[Drafe Hoblin]

One or two of her PACS were immediately bankrupt, weren't they?  I seem to recall a campaign-HQ snafu, where they insisted on leasing an exclusive office-building instead of a modestly-priced stripmall location.

There were two 'official' campaign-websites to start...  One was for Christians.  Then both of them disappeared.

Finally, she chose a women only event on some island to announce she was running... but they had to open it up to males because of low-attendance projections.

" This is gonna be a cakewalk for Cruz, "  I was thinking...  Trump hadn't even announced he was running yet.

Donald Trump is President of the United States.

Hillary Clinton will NEVER be President of the United States!

Any questions?

This Palmer kook also fails to point out that the media didn't have anything to do with individual citizens logging on and reading the DNC emails unfiltered on Wikileaks. And 10's of millions of voters did just that; they read them with their own eyes. The media tried to sweep the emails under the rug.

Well, with that ditzy Brit blonde female discredited, DU-folk have to get their "news" somewhere!

[ADsOutburst]

And this gem makes an appearance again:

And yet she still won the election by three million votes.

Leftists, take note: You are the ones who look stupid when you say stuff like this, because even a high school dropout would probably know that our presidential election is not decided by a nationwide popular vote.

DU folk were smoking other things and doing other people when the US Constitution was taught.

Granted, my trivia shows attract a little more intelligent group than your average person.  But tomorrow night's matching round is regarding Constitutional amendments.  I'll report back how well it turns out.

Maybe if Hillary had had the strength to put one foot in front of the other.
