Hillary Clinton Suggests She Ran 'Best Campaign,' Had Election 'Stolen' From Her

The two-time loser appeared Saturday with husband Bill Clinton at The Forum in Los Angeles for another installment of their national tour, "An Evening With the Clintons." Sitting in comfy chairs on stage, actor Ted Danson, who played host for the evening, asked Hillary what advice she would give to the slew of 2020 presidential candidates now running for the Democratic nomination.

"Keep your eye on the whole landscape as it is moving forward," she said. "I think it's also critical to understand that, as I've been telling candidates who have come to see me, you can run the best campaign, you can even become the nominee, and you can have the ~~primary~~ election stolen from you."

The crowd whooped. "And that, my friends, has nothing to do with the economy, does it?" she continued. "And so part of our challenge is to understand what it will take to put together not just the popular vote but the electoral college" as well.

Hillary got crushed in the Electoral College in the 2016 election, losing to Republican Donald Trump in a landslide, 304- 227. She did win the popular vote, but Trump won 2,626 counties nationwide to Clinton’s 487 counties — another landslide.

Clinton lost states that are usually won by Democrats, like Wisconsin — which she never visited during the campaign — and Michigan. And she lost other swing states, too, like Ohio, Florida and Pennsylvania. Yet she has blamed the Russians for colluding with the Trump campaign to somehow — inexplicably — prompt millions in those states to vote for Trump.

Hillary has continued to press those claims during her flagging tour, questioning how Trump could continue to talk with Russian President Vladimir Putin after the release of the report from special counsel Robert Mueller.

Mueller’s report, she said, "not only decisively proves, but goes chapter and verse about how the Russians — in the words of the report — conducted ‘a sweeping and systemic interference in our election,'" she said, according to the Seattle Times. "And then you wake up and your president is spending an hour on the phone with Vladimir Putin, who was the mastermind of the interference and attack on our election."

-I think she should be telling people not to use a private email server instead of using a government server to get around the FOIA.
-To not spend years giving paid speeches to the banks before running for president just before you announce you're running for president.
-To not have a private and public opinion on issues that people care about.
-To think twice before voting for illegal wars on countries that haven't threatened ours.
-To not spend your entire tenure promoting fracking to the world when people are concerned about climate change.
-To not say that you don't support the TPP as it's written after spending your entire tenure pushing for it.
-To not call people who might not vote for you deplorables.
-To not spend the weeks before the election at private fundraisers and at least visit the states that your campaign says that you're weak in.
-And never tell people that single payer health care will never, ever happen!

She was with Bill during both his primary and general runs,

ran herself for the Democratic Presidential nomination twice and in a general election for President once, has unlimited access to Obama, Kerry, Gore and others who ran for POTUS and her challenge still is to understand the electoral college? Lady, if you don't get it by now, you never will. Please sit down and shut up already.

"And that, my friends, has nothing to do with the economy, does it?"

Could you possibly be more clueless? And that, right there, is why you failed the alleged "challenge" of the electoral college. Ironically, wasn't your sleazy husband the one who, with Carville's help, used the slogan, "It's the economy, stupid," against Bush the Elder? Carville was right. Insincere obviously (he's a Clintonite and his lips were moving), but correct. Every head to head poll in 2015-16 showed Sanders defeating every Republican hopeful, including Trump. The only reason that you didn't get a clue from that because you didn't want one.

And she lost other swing states, too, like Ohio, Florida and Pennsylvania.

Not exactly. She lost ALL swing states, including those that we've come to consider blue states. She won only the brightest blue states, the ones who electoral votes would have gone to Godzilla, had Godzilla been the Presidential nominee of the Democratic Party.

Thing is, the very bright blue states, the only states whose electoral votes she won, tend to be densely-populated. So, yes, she won the popular vote of the states no Democratic Presidential nominee would have lost. And, who knows? Even there, the vote may have been rigged in her favor. But, I'll give her "Undisputed Popular Vote President." Too bad for Hillary, Gore and a few others, there is no such thing.

During her book tour to publicize one of her novels that keep getting mischaracterized as "non-fiction," she claimed to take full responsibility for her Presidential campaign--but blamed everyone ad everything else for losing the election. That prompted me to post an essay here titled something like "Hillary takes full responsibility for her winning Presidential campaign."

And now, we may know the reason for this humiliating tour: Having failed so to do with her book, Hillary is still trying to convince everyone that the allegedly most qualified Presidential nominee in US history, defeated Trump, the most improbable winner of a Presidential election in US history.

Would the last person out of the venue please inform Hillary she lost the election, then turn out the lights? Thanks ever so.

@HenryAWallace @HenryAWallace He wasn’t all bad. There’s a scene in the first film where he destroys the Diet Building (basically Japanese parliament) which reportedly brought cheers from Japanese audiences.

(OT edit: the most recent Godzilla movie, Shin Godzilla, wasn’t really a giant monster film as it was a farce about how government fails to act in the face of a crisis. It was a thinly disguised allegory for how Japan handled the recent tsunami. Well worth watching.)

Three states gave Hillary her plurality

@HenryAWallace Saw a talk by the head of Third Way (gopers pretending to be democrats). Hillary won MA, CA, and NY by a whopping seven million votes. Trump won the remaining 47 states by four million. Trump did not do much better than Rommey. When democrats in swing states asked the national HQ for help, they were either not answered or essentially told to fck off--the smart kids knew better.

I'm not understanding "plurality."

@MrWebster

Hillary had a majority of the total popular vote and Trump had a majority of the total electoral vote. There was no plurality. Hillary's husband, on the other hand, was the only President in US history to date to win by only a plurality twice. That, of course, did not stop DINOs/New Democrats from declaring a resounding victory by Clinton over "bleeding heart liberal" Democrats.

As far as Massachusetts, google tells me its total population is 6.9 million, as compared with California's 39.56 million and NY State's 19.54 million. So, I'm guessing Massachusetts was not the decider of her over-much mentioned popular vote win. However, all three states prove my point: The electoral votes of those three states would have gone for the Democratic nominee had the nominee been a jackass's turd.

Side note on Massachusetts: It was considered so important for Hillary to win the Massachusetts primary that her husband was there on Super Tuesday, going from one polling place to another, a total of four polling places, IIRC. Hillary, who had the endorsement of almost every Democratic officeholder, including those in Massachusetts, won the state's primary by all of one delegate. However, in general Presidential elections, in modern times, Massachusetts has gone only for Eisenhower and Reagan, both landslide winners.

Massachusetts was the ONLY state to go for McGovern, which made it psychologically/symbolically important to the Kochs, who backed the Scott Brown fool heavily, and to Hillary, who was trying to establish "progressive" cred.

Over at Booman Tribune I had a diary...

@janis b
About a conversation between my sister and I and a lady we met in a supermarket. It was in an upper income suburb and she was dressed well. She overheard my sister talking about Hillary (pro-Hillary) and joined in. She was a Trump booster, a middle manager for a company that relocated to Asia. The ultimate indignity for her was being turned down for a burger-flipper job at Burger King because she was too old. This woman was your typical middle class suburban Republican. When I mentioned Bernie Sanders, the lady smiled and said, "Yes, he's good too!"

BTW, this was in the heart of the district in which Sean Casten (D) blew away incumbent Peter Roskam (R), heir and former aide to Henry Hyde. When their ox is gored, these people are reachable. The one percent and .1 percent are the enemy, not the 10%.

EDIT: To make it clear, this woman despised Hillary and Obama. She had never voted for a Democrat in her life, but "Yes, he's good too!", with a smile.
