I voted Hillary and Obama so you know where I'm coming from....
Hillary needs to wake up. Sure she would have been the better president and I know for a fact that EVERYONE would be much more happy and better off at this point, and MUCH more surprised at Hillary's leadership abilities compared to what they had expected.
A lot of people simply hated Hillary including many of her own, democrats especially young democrats, but the thing with Hillary and with politics in general is that if someone like a Hillary had been elected the people would eventually come around to supporting her once they experienced the true-life Hillary opposed to the made-up Hillary the right had crested.
By now even the right wing would have had to admit that Hillary as president wasn't near as terrible as they had feared or predicted.
Just as with the Bill Clinton presidency, hate him as they may president Bill Clinton did indeed make things pretty darn good for most Americans. The economy was booming, jobs soaring, the national debt nearly eliminated and we were pretty much war-free.
Yet despite all of that, the right wing republicans still hated Bill Clinton.
Well, Hillary too would have restored America to true greatness if she had been elected.
At this point we would have had a more solid stable healthcare system, continued job growth, higher incomes and wages, Putin would have been kept in his place, everyone would be much better off at this point if Hillary had been elected.
As a professional and I mean by getting down to the dirty work of actual governing, Hillary would have surpassed all expectations.
We would have never experienced the total insanity of Donald Trump nor the instability we now experiencing under Donald trump.
Why Hillary lost was Hillary's fault and none other.
No electoral college, no popular vote, no challenge from a Bernie Sanders was the cause. Hillary lost simply because of Hillary.
She should have realized the monkey on her back long before she decided to run, and addressed it back then while she had the time and opportunity.
Policy Hillary needed to become the forefront and Hillary the flawed Clinton the downplayed. Kept hidden in the background, somehow someway.
Hillary lost because she could not connect. She was terrible at the presentation of Hillary Clinton. So she should have tried to downplay the woman part and the Clinton part and the glass ceiling breaking part but instead focus every day on the policy part.
Forget about presentation, just let the people know and make it crystal clear time after time with every speech what she planned to do as president and how exactly she would improve the everyday lives of all people.
Face it. People do want affordable and inclusive healthcare. College for their kids. Good paying jobs, decent wages. Clean air, clean water, safe foods. A strong military. Etc etc....
And Hillary as president would have provided exactly that.
She knew it, we knew it, and deep down inside even the most right wing conservative knew it.
But for some flawed reason she instead went with the presentation of Hillary Clinton. The woman Hillary Clinton. The glass ceiling breaking Hillary Clinton. The history making Hillary Clinton. And by doing that she had already lost the battle when people just did not like or attract to Hillary the person.
Still, they did like the Hillary Clinton policy maker.
This is why we as Americans will never see a border wall with Mexico, nor the exporting of the so called DREAMERS (will never happen), or any ban on Muslims entering the country, or any success at taking away Obamacare by republicans.
Because while it has appeared that America has gone totally insane by electing a failed game show host as their president, people still want their stability.
People want healthcare they can afford, and wages that pay the bills, and jobs they can be proud of, and college for there kids, and an accepting heart when it comes to others that dream of becoming an American citizen.
People are still basically good and just as normal as before Donald Trump.
They are not mean spirited, evil, nor ready to toss the baby out with the bathwater.
When it comes to their personal lives and the their families future, they believe how Hillary Clinton believed, and not as some rich fat childish self centered thinned skinned pompous failed game show host.
The people are Hillary people, truth be told.
Hillary is smart, brilliant, effective, has thoughtful intelligent ideas, is a proven leader, and is a good person. Hillary's problem was that she failed to convince others she was not what republicans made her out to be.
She failed to accept and to simply say she realized her flaws with the presentation of Hillary Clinton, and focus on the policy part of Hillary Clinton.
Hillary just failed to connect. And knowing as I am sure she did having problems with her own base, Hillary should have stuck to addressing the peoples issues and forget about the presentation. She would have done herself much credit if she had never brought up the woman thing but instead just blew it off as I DON'T THINK THAT MATTERS. I'M NOT DOING THIS TO BREAK GLASS CEILINGS. I'M DOING THIS FOR BETTERING THE LIVES OF ALL AMERICANS.
