The apology from Hillary

[7,052,770]

Anyone who leans left and didn't vote Hillary should apologize to America and the world for what they vainly, selfishly inflicted upon all of us.

A daily reminder of why I hate this party.

Truth hurts, doesn't it. If everyone who preferred Hillary to Trump had just voted for her, we could have had her as president.

     The condescension of saying people who did things you didn't like "should apologize to America and the world" isn't winning people to your side.

Yawn. People who wanted Hillary to win but didn't vote for her deserve far worse than some light "condescension"

How does one receive 'answers to the debate'?

Apparently CNN snuck her the questions on one their debates.

Trump had a lot of negative pressure in those debates.

He had the sexual assault allegations on top of that.

it was a primary debate. Trump has been conflating this with the presidential debates. HRC didn't receive any questions to the presidential debates, not that the questions are really hard to guess.

Citation?

Hillary proved she can easily win a debate without the answers. She humiliated Trump in all three debates, he lacks the stamina to stay on stage and focused for 90 minutes while she prepared and proved she was prepared for the presidency. I would therefore like the 63 million people who voted for Donald Trump(less than Hillary's 66 million) to apologize to America and the world.

Hillary was not entitled to those people's votes. She didn't earn them, so those people didn't vote for her. I can say the same for Al Gore.

[Dr. Arch]

Good grief. We're still going on about this.

Hillary is to Trump like Batman is to the Joker. He can't exist otherwise.

She absolutely is entitled to the votes of people who want her to win.

Too bad a small but sufficient percentage of the electorate who wanted her to win decided they were just a little too #triggered to vote for her and just left it blank or wrote in Bernie or whatever, selfishly thinking that she had it in the bag so they were safe to mooch off everyone else's votes.

No, she is not entitled to votes from people. She didn't earn them, plain and simple.

Haha, this is god one! She is his perfect foe.

I have no idea what this even means. It's a tautology. Anyone who doesn't get any votes didn't earn them. Proving what exactly - why even discuss elections since ultimately anyone who gets the most votes obviously earned them so there's that (of course Hillary EARNED more votes than Trump, but that's not what we're talking about right now).
Ultimately, this she didn't earn the votes concept lets people off the hook for not doing their homework and realizing how dangerous voting for Trump or Johnson actually was.
Perhaps her campaign made some major errors, but that has nothing to do with people making poor decisions, regardless. Why can't both be true?

[elcorazon]

Well, voters determine the winner, so yeah. It's the voters fault when we elect criminal incompetents. Even if it's a way to lose an election, it's still true that it's the voters fault!!

She earned the votes of people who wanted her to win.

I'm not referring to the "liberal" nimrods who wanted her to lose. I'm referring to people who legitimately wanted her to win but for whatever reason decided not to actually vote for her, preferring to rely on everyone else to do it instead.

Those people aren't solely responsible for her loss-- any set of sufficient voters could change the outcome -- but they're the most logical to blame because they're the ones who wanted her to win and didn't help.

And it was only one question. And it was a question about what the government should do about the water situation in Flint, Michigan. And the debate was in Flint, Michigan. It was the stupidest non-scandal one can possibly imagine.

[Pericles]

Hillary did say sorry, she said 'I'm sorry' in her concession speech, another historic first.

[Lincoln Republican]

Anyone who leans left and didn't vote Hillary should apologize to America and the world for what they vainly, selfishly inflicted upon all of us.

But obviously voters in the key states of Ohio, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania did not want Hillary, that's why the Dems lost the election.  

You see, these voters did not like being taken for granted by the Democrat Party, nor did they enjoy being talked down to by the very epitome of establishment politics,  crooked Hillary Clinton.

If anything, the Democrat Party owes the people of the United States an apology for perpetrating "deplorable Hillary" upon the American public as a candidate.

Enough voters did want Hillary in those and other states (such as Florida), but enough of them for whatever reason failed to cast a vote for her despite wanting her to win.

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.

[dead0man]

She didn't have "a clear preference of the electorate against" Trump too?

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.

Hillary Clinton campaign logic:

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

Wait, seriously, she stopped by California?

[Pericles]

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.

[Lincoln Republican]

I absolutely love how the Dems on this board since the election have been crying and screaming that Hillary would have won if this, if that, if only, if, if, if.

Well, as the Roger Whittaker song goes

I don't believe in if anymore, if is for children, if is for children, building day dreams, building day dreams

And Hillary could have a 5 million vote margin in California, big deal, she still loses, in spite of her margin on the Left Coast.

The fact is, the Dems put far too much belief in the fallacy that the vaunted Blue Wall was impenetrable.  The arrogant Dems were taught a lesson they had better not ever forget.

[MasterJedi]

I think Sanders should apologize along with Stein and Johnson for helping Trump becoming President.
