The latest excuse from the DNC and all the Democratic establishment hacks is that its Comey who blew the election for Hillary rather than Hillary herself! Keep on spewing this DNC crap so we get Kaine as the next farce elected by the DNC (as the next "lesser of two evils"), who will end up losing by a landslide to Trump in 2020. Most of the polls themselves were flawed (especially from the major news networks) because they did not want Trump to win.

The fact is that most people viewed Hillary as compromising National security through her private email server. You were willing to overlook this (so was I) because you didn't want Trump to get elected, but the people in the heartland of this country weren't willing to cut her slack in regard to this. And why should they? They knew deep down she was a liar and farce.

Yes, Hillary won the popular vote primarily because of the big victory in CA with the immigration issue for Silicon Valley in terms of hiring software people and developers holding sway. But the popular vote means squat here, you should know that. This country is set up as a Republic, not a Democracy.

And Bernie Sanders barely makes the top 10 of the most liberal Senators, with progressive voting records. There are nine other democratic Senators who receive higher marks than Sanders:

I know you are living in a cocoon on your thread banning people left and right who disagree with the Holy Piece of Shit DNC and only reading the propaganda coming from them, but if you would stop acting as a sissy who is scared, maybe we'd finally get a chance to beat the Right Wing for once.

The DNC has a special interest excuse for not nominating a Leftist candidate. What's your excuse? Fear of losing?

Two crooks ran against each other and the better crook won.

<<<< And yet, if it hadn't been for Comey, Hillary would have won >>>>

We don't know that. Maybe Comey's actions pissed off hard core democrats and more of them came out to vote. What you seem to miss epicure is that the country has made a right hand curve. Just look at the republican winnings across the country recently! They are winning everywhere and those wins have nothing to do with Comey. Democrat leaders need to stop the incessant whining and look to the future. ............Even if Hillary had won, what would she have been able to accomplish? Trust is a fragile thing thing and once lost it is extremely hard to be gotten back - if ever.

The popular vote is utterly irrelevant.

There is no evidence Comey did anything but allow her to walk on a crime.

If you believe that somehow hurt her election chances I do not understand by what logic.
