83. She Won By 3 Million Votes

Thu Jan 12, 2017, 02:52 PM

Jan 2017

It is the increasingly ridiculous Electoral College that caused her to lose.

I had reservations about Hillary like more than a few....you cannot take all that cash from Wall Street and not be beholden to them. I had a hard time with her Yes vote for the stupid Iraq war.

I did vote for her. But next time- we need to move younger and more progressive. And there are more families in the US than Bushes and Clintons.

I too had a big issue with those who said they just couldn't vote for Hillary......but you had no trouble voting for that reality show buffoon?

Strap in one and all. What George Carlin said is true more than ever .....it's a big effin club and we ain't in it.
