It's pretty much self-evident that Hillary haters are either Russian trolls...

[MrScorpio]

Or DUPES of Russians trolls who can't help having Hillary live in their heads rent free.

This post is just to help any wingers reading this who have had thoughts about anything other than hating her lately.

Make sure to wave!

1. Sadly, some of these very folks created a self fulfilling prophecy.

2. A lot of people were disappointed by the Bernie blaming in her book

Her problems were much worse than having a successful primary opponent who made her work hard for the nomination and they were pretty much out of her control. I do realize the quotes from her book that appeared in social media and were picked up by the same crooked press she faced during the election were cherry picked. I just hope she goes into depth about Russia's role in the ginned up scandals, Comey's preciously opportune announcement, and possible hacking of easily hacked machines in swing states. We won't really know until the book actually comes out.

Obviously, the divisive quotes were leaked by the usual suspects.

What they don't realize is that Democrats, even those for Sanders in the primary, did vote for her and we'd do it again.

3. She didn't seem to hold back about Comey on Sunday Morning show.

5. I live in the southern Rockies and sleep in

so I have 2 excuses to miss those things. I'm glad she excoriated him. He richly deserves it.

The only thing that could deodorize Comey is his being pivotal in the process to remove the Orange Maggot.

7. What exactly was successful about losing?

And losing by more than 3.5 million votes -- or a margin of 43 to 55%, which is a huge margin of loss, electorally speaking. He wasn't successful, just obstinately persistent in refusing to cede that he wasn't winning the people's votes.

The polling experts began saying there was no path to the nomination for him as early as the beginning of March, and by the beginning of May it was generally acknowledged that it was mathematically impossible. Most candidates at that point would have bowed out, in the interest of the party's chances for unity in the fall, and what would be best for the nation. But Sanders continued on his crusade until the middle of June, making irrational claims that he would win hugely in California and railing all the way against the corporate media ( the left's version of "fake news" ), a"rigged system" (commonly known as voters), and the "establishment." Rhetoric that was very reminiscent of the pronouncements of another candidate, who shall remain nameless.

It was hugely damaging, and Clinton's putting him in the circle of blame doesn't even come close to the anger that I and many others felt about it.

That you can still call this in any way successful to me is just part of the irrational thinking that characterized the totality of the 2016 elections. It was brazen and mendacious, but to call a loss a success at this point is just plain depressing.

It's also fairly laughable to be so sensitive about " Bernie blaming" when he and his supporters spent a year and a half painting a (false) picture of Clinton as a crooked, evil, untrustworthy corporate shill ... and worse. And that is what gave the media the license to "investigate" this stuff as news.

I think Sanders and his most ardent supporters need to do some self-reflection and own up to the reality of the scope of his loss, the reasons for it, and the damage it contributed. Stop blaming others.
