Secret CIA assessment says Russia was trying to help Trump win White House

135. My point, which apparently sailed over your head,

was that Hillary, a powerful woman, also had some agency here, wouldn't you agree? She was not a nonentity with no capacity for action herself, was she? Not just a helpless victim? Right?

Sure there is and has been a VRWC and every Democrat, liberal or progressive has had to cope with that, not just Hillary. Some, like our current president, succeeded anyway.

If she was the best, most experienced, most qualified candidate ever shouldn't she have been one of them?

The truth is she was a weak candidate with more baggage than Samsonite--not all of it of her enemies' manufacture--and she lost* to a racist misogynist fascist pig. A combination of hubris and incompetence did her in, imo: Not listening to warnings, even from Bill. Building a ground game that was apparently far less professional than rumor made it. Spending time chasing Arizona and Georgia instead of securing the upper Mid-West.

I don't know what is wrong with people who can't get that.

*yes, I know she actually won by near 3 million votes but you go to the voting booth with the system you have, not the system you want. Don't you.
