I agree... check077 Dec 2016 #71

Had Hillary HEEDED the criticism, instead of coasting to the end, we'd gratefully be rid of Fuhrer-Elect Cheeto Face and be callin her Madame President. InAbLuEsTaTe Jan 2017 #80

CENK jodymarie aimee Dec 2016 #9

I've got no time for TYT. They are part of the problem. dawg Dec 2016 #18

Yup they spent the whole campaign bashing her Thrill Dec 2016 #23

No they didn't. They held her to high standards, which shouldn't have been a problem. TonyPDX Dec 2016 #30

Oh yes they did? Where have you been? Al lyou have to do is search through their Thrill Dec 2016 #37

The polls were wrong. All of them. TonyPDX Dec 2016 #39

I wasn't pinning the blame solely on the BoBers Charles Bukowski Dec 2016 #42

Hillary probably has the biggest name recognition of any "private citizen" on the planet. TonyPDX Dec 2016 #43

Why would I appear butthurt attacking Bernie Busters, Charles Bukowski Dec 2016 #64

Sanders was not the candidate. In our other elections the losing candidate keeps a low profile . . . brush Jan 2017 #102

I'm less worried about what isn't a good look than saving the country. TonyPDX Jan 2017 #107

As a private citizen now without an office like Sanders and Warren she doesn't have much of . . . brush Jan 2017 #108

She doesn't have much of a platform? Only the biggest name recognition in the country. TonyPDX Jan 2017 #109

Because Cenk Uygur was correct ... earthside Dec 2016 #52

yeah had he only saved it all from that POS I wouldn't mind rbrnmw Dec 2016 #53

It is interesting to see the GOP toadies of M$M pretending Trump was not the M$M's favorite son, and Bill USA Dec 2016 #56

I'm not a huge TYT fan, but I like Cenk from time to time. welivetotreadonkings Dec 2016 #58

again who's fault is that. do you object to something that ended up being in Clinton's campaign or JCanete Jan 2017 #111

I'm sorry, for my money, as a Democrat myself, he was a Dem. Shouldn't those of us in the party JCanete Jan 2017 #113

IMO he may as well have been running as a third party because he attacked the party continuously brush Jan 2017 #114

oh, you're all in the talking points zone I see. His platform certainly didn't neglect people of JCanete Jan 2017 #115

Blah de blah blah blah. If those people didn't listen to and vote according to trumps dog whistles.. brush Jan 2017 #116

I would say its about a two-party system being a fairly undemocratic condition that we find JCanete Jan 2017 #117
