(3,433 posts)Hillary is a good person who has dedicated her life to helping the most vulnerable in our society. That being said, Hillary lost the election because Hillary was a bad candidate. Even before she announced, there was a substantial number of people outside of the Democratic who just didn't trust her. She substantiated that distrust by waffling on the big issues of The Key Stone Pipeline and the TTP trade agreement and the e-mail situation. Towards the end of the campaign, she neglected to show up in the states of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Ohio. I believe she made another mistake by not selecting a minority for Vice President. What we should learn form this is that we should not nominate somebody because we are in love with them personally; we should use our critical thinking skills and nominate a good candidate.
