Ryan Grim has had a good week huh?

I really wish Hillary would stay out of the spotlight until after next election

I mean she's a private citizen and has the right to do what she wants, but her general presence is a gift to the GOP.

Warren desperate for that black vote.

Next she gonna pop up at Meg Thee Stallion next tour stop and twerk onstage

Not even @stomachlines would want to see that

 

[FAH1223]

they’d rather lose to Trump than see Bernie win

Warren perhaps as well. She’s being a team player but a lot of Obama people hate her guts since she gave them trouble.

I just don’t see how they can be so conceited and oblivious to not notice this. Her even being all in the media is pouring fuel on the right’s fire. She is their BOOGEYMAN. If you really give a fukk about this country, Hillary, you’d chill the fukk out somewhere until 2021.

GOP voters aren't turning out more or less because of Hillary.

I wish you all would just say you don't like her instead of trying to attribute it so some more noble narrative.

Bro every time she says anything she’s the front story on Fox News and everything their side talks about on twitter. She’s still their most hated politician and she definitely fires their base up. Saying otherwise is a flat out lie.

That's just not true.

The Non-Voters Who Decided The Election: Trump Won Because Of Lower Democratic Turnout

Take Michigan for example. A state that Obama won in 2012 by 350,000 votes, Clinton lost by roughly 10,000. Why? She received 300,000 votes less than Obama did in 2012. Detroit and Wayne County should kick themselves because of the 595,253 votes they gave Obama in 2012, only 518,000 voted for Clinton in 2016. More than 75,000 Motown Obama voters did not bother to vote for Clinton. They did not become Trump voters – Trump received only 10,000 votes more than Romney did in this county. They simply stayed at home. If even a fraction of these lethargic Democrats had turned out to vote, Michigan would have stayed blue.

This pattern is national. Clinton’s black voter turnout dropped more than 11 percent compared to 2012. The support for Clinton among active black voters was still exceedingly high (87 percent, versus 93 percent for Obama), but the big difference was the turnout. Almost two million black votes cast for Obama in 2012 did not turn out for Clinton. According to one plausible calculation, if in North Carolina blacks had turned out for Clinton as they had for Obama, she would have won the state. I saw a similar downtrend in my own eyes: I voted in a predominantly African American precinct in the south side of Chicago, and I can testify that the lines for early voting at the polling place were much shorter than they were in 2012.

Clinton lost because there was a sizable enough share of Democrat voters who were not inspired to turn out and vote for her. Not because she riled up the right wing base.

Trump had a smaller percentage of votes than Mitt Romney did in 2012.

Hillary is one of the most disliked people in the country and people still support her. At some point the voters should take a look in the mirror. This isn’t a reality tv show and people are sick of guys like trump winning because the elites can’t adjust to the current situation.

Truth is we talk so much about how terrible politicians are, but the electorate at large is no prize either

WaPo and NYT editorials are so

I read some Jennifer Rubin article the other day that was a generic re-wording of her other 50 anti-Bernie articles where she accused him of both not adequately supporting Hillary in 2016 and having a white affluent liberal coalition...again.

I never dreamed Hilary ego surpassed her husband’s.



The fact that she had the nerve to write a book titled “What Happened?!” after she lost to Trump is the HEIGHT of white privilege.
