My opinion is she fired back but in a Wellesley College I'm smarter than you and I know it snotty way. She lacked the social skills of Bill.
This is a failing of many Democrats over the decades.

Or is it the failing of voters who value social skills/charisma over competence and actual policy positions.

Politics is like branding. You can have the best product on the market, but you need to sell it.

Clinton was a great brand but a sh!tty salesperson.

Again, is it the fault of a 'non charismatic' politician or the fault of a shallow, thoughtless electorate.

It only matters who fault it is if there is any intention of changing things. Otherwise its simply reality and either the electorate will have to adjust or politicians will and clearly it looks like some politicians have figured it out.

The Electoral College decided that it was time to eliminate Hitlary Clinton. and won.

The only thing that has stopped me from recommending to you that what you post could be easily replicated by a bot is that I'm wondering if that's already happened. lol.

Fskihole, in the last major election in California, Republicans didn't even have the opportunity to vote for a Republican candidate as their Senator because of a system that you support. Imagine, 1/2 of Californians disenfranchised because of a slimy backdoor way in choosing a Senator. No wonder you hate the fairest system that the United States has come up with . So fsk you and fsk the nasty little slimy systems you want to come up with to insure your choice wins.

They didn't have an opportunity to vote for a Republican candidate because their candidate was the third most popular candidate in the primary, lol.

You're arguing for a system where the third place candidate gets to make it to the general election over the second place candidate for no other reason than they happen to belong to your preferred political party, hahaha. Even better, you think preferring the third place candidate over the second place one is the FAIR solution.

Oh god, hahahaha. This is amazing. Keep on telling us more about how giving Republicans extra special electoral preference is the FAIR way to do things. The idea that you're enraged by not getting electoral welfare makes it even funnier. Tell us more about all the electoral welfare you need so you can implement your policies saying welfare is bad. Hahahaha.

At least the citizens of California got the choice of voting for Hillary Clinton.
No choice at all for voting for a Republican for their Senator.
Thanks for this input from the Ministry of Truth though.

If you want welfare just come straight out and say it, we won't be mad. Just say you want the person who got fewer votes to go to the general election purely because they are a Republican. Keep showcasing your ridiculous sense of entitlement.

You have no idea how funny it is that you are demanding electoral welfare so that your candidates can cut other welfare.

Nope, I don't live in California, I very happily live in Texas, but you can see why I don't give a rats ass about the whiny little bitches crying about the Electoral College when what they would do to conservatives and Republicans is far, far worse if they get the chance.


Would you like one of these as well?

You mean... gerrymander them into submission & irrelevance? Oh, wait... they'd have to beat Repubs at their own game for that....

Gotta love it. Conservatives have been raving about how "We're the Majority!" when the only way they have majority representation is by rigging the game...

LOL at the hate toward better states. It is obviously California that they envy. It's okay, California will still pay for your hurricane relieve, welfare, and defense spending. We make more money than you no matter what.

It was a concessions to the


The truth is the EC is no benefit to small states, that is a myth. It is a massive benefit to swing states. No one campaigns in Texas, Oklahoma, Alabama, Road Island, etc during the general because all of their EC votes are locked up.

If the EC went away they would actually have to campaign to the entire country, not the 7 states that might actually swing. The idea that without the EC they'd only campaign to a handful of metros is not based on anything other than a Republican talking point.

Exactly plus no more saying my vote doesn't count if we went to popular vote because regardless how the majority of your state votes your vote still counts toward your candidates total.

Democrats gerrymandered the entire State. Again I can see why you're in favor of it. It was gerrymandered in your favor.

Tell us more about the electoral welfare you want where you think the third place person should beat the second place person because they are a Republican.

Seriously this is hilarious. I'm sure you see how funny this is, right?
