Hillary can write each American a personal apology when she's bored in her jail cell!!111!!!!22

(I hope Trump locks her up in all seriousness know, but they won't do lickity-split).

Trump is succeeding in his plan to distract you from his corruption by attacking Hillary. Hillary Clinton is not relevant now, while Trump is the President, and he has serious ethical problems. Clinton is not relevant, but Trump is.
No he isn't? There is wall to wall negative coverage focusing on Russia, spies, Nunes, etc. They media is grasping at straws to create a scandal here but so far all I've seen is story after story and bombshell after bombshell that proves nothing.

On the other hand, the unmasking stuff (which is not the same as Obama bugging Trump Tower, to be fair but equally serious) that his opposition has been up too seems more and more real each day. Notice how ever since Susan Rice's name got dragged into the conversation, the media has pivoted towards the sleepy Gorsuch filibuster once again.

This thread makes a great argument for getting rid of this forum.

If anything, the Democrat Party owes the people of the United States an apology for perpetrating this "deplorable" upon the American public as a candidate.   
That's who I've been blaming.  It's not Hillary's fault she sucked as a candidate, everybody should have known she did, it's why she lost in '08.  The Dems (apparently) had nobody else better.  That's entirely their fault, they had 8 years to prep one for us.

No matter how many times the haters say this, it will never be true. She got 3 million votes more than Trump, and it would have been a much larger margin, including an electoral college victory, if some of the pwecious snowflakes who were rooting for her to win had bothered to pitch in and help, rather than their "noble" "protest" of leaving it blank or #writeinBernie or whatever.

It's not Hillary's fault she ran up against a buzzsaw who added millions of voters to the rolls, reached out to Democrats like no Republican ever could have, and somehow still hung out to all of the "values voters" (ha!). And despite all of his unique advantages that no other Republican could have brought to the table, the American people were rooting for her victory by a landslide margin. She wasn't a terrible candidate or even a mediocre one - she would have trounced the other Republicans, and even had a clear preference of the electorate against the Republicans' strongest candidate.

She lost to Donald Trump. Therefore, she was a terrible candidate.

Also nobody campaigned to win the popular vote. They campaigned to win the EC, so using the "muh 3 million votes" argument is disingenuous at best.
Just like bernie lost to her, making him an even worse candidate?

And we would use the popular vote if we were in a country which wasn't stuck in the 18th century when it comes to elections.

Hillary Clinton campaign logic:

Campaign stops in California: 3
Campaign stops in Wisconsin: 0

Wait, seriously, she stopped by California?

Do you remember when people mocked Trump for holding sporadic rallies in Mississippi? Great times! Never once heard about the reverse.

They were 3 campaign stops only for fundraising elites...not for the common folks and peasants

Todd Akin was known to be terrible from the start, to the point where the McCaskill campaign ran ads trying to get him nominated.

On the contrary, when the party coalesced around Clinton during the 2013-15 era, Clinton was still viewed net favorably. In June 2014 I made an Atlas poll entitled "Who would be a better General Election candidate?" featuring Hillary or Elizabeth Warren. At the time, I wrote:

The response from Atlas? 84% of y'all (who were active at the time) chose Hillary. And yet I'm the one who's always made fun of for my few mistaken predictions in the past. As late as January 2016, Republicans were trying to help Bernie on the belief he would be a weaker candidate. All the attacks on the Democratic party are worse than hypocritical.

Because clearly Todd Akin was the best candidate the GOP could put up in MO-Sen 2012 since he was the one who won the primary, right?

And yes, the American political system is hopelessly irrational, as evidenced by the fact that the main "left-wing" party nominated someone like Hillary Clinton in the first place.
I never argued this, did I.  I only said Bernie was a even worse candidate than her.

... Basically every President has won by a landslide margin in the PV by this definition.
