Am I the only one who feels sorry for her?
She wasn't just another candidate. She literally wanted and worked for this her whole life. And she was beaten by frog memes and "build a wall"

Just imagine your entire life's ambition ruined over stuff like that

Holy fuck that is just hilarious

Holy fuck that is just hilarious

Maybe the severely depressed and French can appreciate the absurd humor in this, but I'm not there yet.

The only winner last night was Trump. Everyone else is worse off.

Thinking about this more rationally now... Gred, myself, other people in this very thread, Obama, the DNC, the GOP, major pollsters, political strategists and so many others really missed this trend that led Trump to this crushing defeat Clinton.

Are you serious? Several people, myself included, said not to underestimate him. You'd have to be an absolute fucking tool to think this wasn't a possibility "because polls".

I won't say I told you so, because I'm honestly not 100% convinced Bernie would have done better, but holy shit this is just fucking ridiculous to say.

Plenty of people pointed this trend out, in this very thread actually, and were shouted down into oblivion. Maybe pollsters, hipsters, fansters, Bernsters, who the fuck ever, should not be arrogant and listen next time.

My feed is blowing the fuck up with people afraid of their health care and future now.

Congratulations America, you've fucked yourself over and the people I'm training to serve in the process.

She wasn't just another candidate. She literally wanted and worked for this her whole life.

If you mean "worked on" you mean cheated, then sure. Go read the wikileaks stuff to see the shady shit she pulled to fuck over Bernie. Not counting the more overt stuff like DWS (who was her campaign manager in 08) being the DNC chair. She's the master of "technically its not illegal".

She's a female Jeb Bush. The electorate didn't want her.

For what it's worth, Hillary just took the lead in the popular vote.

Maybe if she didn't dodge press conferences for almost a whole year, only answer pre-prepared softball questions she knew were coming, and act like it was her birthright, and tell them the truth instead of lying as a default reaction to anything happening she would've had a chance.

Trump was out there grinding every fucking day, doing 3-5 rallies a DAY, while HRC showed up to a crowd of 1000-2000, did a 15 minute speech and went back to bed.

Gee I wonder which candidate is more likely to win.
Maybe the DNC should've elected a better candidate. If only there'd been one.

[Byrthnoth]

The electoral college + urbanites preferring Democrats is going to set this "win the popular vote and lose the election" thing for the next few forevers.

[djzombie]

All hail emporer trump. Can't fuckin believe this is how it went, but it's going to be tremendous.

I guess Hillary really couldn't win without the support of people that fuckin hate her and everything she stands for.

Nope, not her fault. Not a single thing she did this cycle is her fault. I'm sure when Gred finally posts, he will point out that she was 100% innocent in her loss, and it was all due to berniebros. But not her, never negative for her.


The only bright spot I can take is my state flipped a senate seat to blue.

[Byrthnoth]

Facts lost the war last night. Feelings are victorious.

[Olo401]

I'm seriously of the belief that Obama needs to have every single nuclear warhead sunk to the bottom of an ocean trench before he leaves office.

[Ratatapa]

So doomsday starts in January right?

[Xantavia]

Well, I'm seeing a recently re-elected senator (Collins I think) talking about the first 100 days will see the repeal of the ACA, starting to build the wall, and putting together a group to take out ISIS.

[Krandor]

So when I was cracking jokes about how all the polls are rigged/cucked, I was accidentally telling the truth?

Oh Dear

[Byrthnoth]

Building the wall is a good example of facts losing. The whole wall "plan" makes absolutely no sense.
1) Net emigration of illegals : http://www.pewhispanic.org/2015/11/1...ng-to-the-u-s/
2) The wall would either be massively expensive or totally useless
3) The lack of blue collar jobs is due to automation rather than illegal immigration.

Why pay to prevent the emigration of illegals with a huge, expensive wall? Is it to create guard jobs?

I definitely can. My first thoughts were how amazing the grand triggering of college campuses is going to be.

[Fiye]

Legit hope this dude is OK.

I'll second this but yeah. Its going to be a fun path to acceptance.
