JiU 2,194 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I honestly don't know what to think, whether she's right or not. I feel like most people made up their minds at that point in time, so would that have influenced the results much? I'm not an expert in politics, just thinking from a rational point of view.

REALITY 80,328 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 It's so sad that she didn't become president... Now we have this dufus in the White House, and he literally knows next to nothing about how politics works. I will say though, that I think a big thing we should focus on is also how the Electoral College system works. Obviously, there were other factors that resulted in her loss, but the fact that she won the popular vote by 3 million votes says something. Not only does it say that America is (generally) moving to a more liberal direction, but it says something about how we elect people into office. It still boggles my mind that she won by so much, but still ultimately lost. Like, yes, she has to take responsbility, and yes, other people have to take responsibility, but also, the system need to be looked at, because, she easily would have become president if it was based on the popular vote.

She could have pulled an Al Gore anf fought for it, but it's kinda nice that she was the "bigger man", not only then but in the whole race. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even want to delve into this mess about how he won because it's too complicated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please educate me I do fell that everyone was against her this election. Both Republicans and Democrats dislike her for things she has done several years ago and even when she was the first lady. She played fair and used Trump's mouth to her advantage but then her email hack ruined her, and not to mention the FBI announced that both HILLARY and Trump were being investigated, but only Hillary's was spread like wildfire. Was Hillary the best canidate? No, but she would have made a better president than Trump and more realistic president than Sanders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only announced Hiliary's investigation & not Trump's! Which is why her's spread like wildfire.... Egypt. W Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even want to delve into this mess about how he won because it's too complicated. I don't think it's complicated at all The average American isn't rationally thinking. They don't care about practicality or experience. They want a president that can make them feel. Hillary would've been (and hopefully still will be ) an amazing president but she's cold. It's part of her image. She's calculated, level headed, and stable. She also has a few political shadows, some real and others cast upon her by witch hunts and dishonesty. Those that are her fault, she's taken responsibility for so I don't really hold it against her. Spoiler Like, big whoop, she had a private email server. SO DOES EVERYONE ELSE Everyone complains about the 30,000 emails she deleted, (I believe) 12 of which had confidential information on them but they were incorrectly labelled. No one talks about the 22 million that Bush lost or the private servers of every other politician, especially the Republicans But whatever Trump on the other hand...well, it was something I heard often here. "There's a guy you can have a beer with!" so obviously, let's make him f*cking president No matter how much crap was thrown at him, all of it deserved, it never stuck to him because people thought he was cool, funny, and had a sick charm about him. That's why he even stood a chance. Though the reason he won is because our election system is archaic. Instead of living in a democracy, we live in a broken republic Whimsical bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morphine Prince 110,026 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 We are truly living in an anti-intellectual era. You can have negative opinions about Hillary but you cannot honestly say Trump is more qualified than her. People in this country are so stupid, I can't They just went with how Trump made them feel and how he pandered to their irrational fears. We truly need a president to adress some of these people's issues to ensure they don't fall for a demagogue again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
