Add YET another excuse as to why Crooked Hillary lost the election ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ‘We Didn’t Show Up’ — Obama Says Clinton Lost Because She Didn’t Visit Rural Areas Kaitlan Collins Entertainment Editor 10:38 AM 12/19/2016 Barack Obama believes that one of the reasons Hillary Clinton lost the presidential election is because she ignored rural America.
