    She can’t let go.

    She can’t stop talking about what happened. She wrote an entire book about it. Now she’s telling people in other countries about why she should have won. In India last weekend, she told an audience that she won in all the smart, cool places — and then hit a pandering low that puts a catalogue of others to shame.

    Hillary Clinton just can’t quit herself.

    ...

    No good seems to come to those who serve in this administration. Cue Peter, Paul and Mary: Where have all the soldiers gone, long time passing?/ Where have all the soldiers gone, long time ago?/ Gone to graveyards, everyone/ Oh, when will they ever learn?/ Oh, when will they ever learn?

    The same song could be sung about Clinton, if only she could hear the music. But then, she was always a little tone-deaf. In India last week on a private trip with her friend and loyal adviser Huma Abedin, Clinton gave a few speeches as part of her ongoing global book tour to promote, wait for it, “What Happened.”

    At least Al Gore, who suffered a similar fate — winning the popular vote in 2000 but losing the electoral college to George W. Bush — went on to only grow a beard and make documentaries about the end of the Earth. Clinton seems committed to a personal Groundhog Day, in which she adds not new talents and feats of heroism but fresh targets to blame for her destiny denied.

    She has variously blamed former FBI director James B. Comey, Russia, sexists, “deplorables” and, during a speech in Mumbai, racism. In one of her worst-yet panders — quite a distinction if you remember Clinton’s 2007 speech in Selma, Ala. — she apparently noticed the darker pigmentation of her Indian audience and adapted.

    She started out by reiterating her disdain for those who failed to recognize her virtues, saying that she won in places “that are optimistic, diverse, dynamic, moving forward,” compared with Trump voters who are always looking “backwards.” Then, mockingly, talking to “those people” who voted for him, she continued: “You know you didn’t like black people getting rights, you don’t like women, you know, getting jobs, you don’t want to, you know, see Indian Americans succeeding more than you are.”

    Yikes. So, the people who voted for Trump resent Indian Americans’ success? Funny, because surely her audience was aware that the president selected Indian American Nikki Haley to be the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. And it’s a good bet they knew Haley had previously been serving her second term as the governor of South Carolina, where she was the first woman and ethnic minority to be elected governor in the state’s history.

    Such a lack of awareness, combined with Clinton’s clear disdain for millions of Americans whom she would have served as president, confirms she shouldn’t have won after all. By her insinuations, she has demonstrated a loathsome prejudice against the poorly educated and unemployed, as well as rural whites, social conservatives and women who stay home with their children — to name a few.

    What happened, you ask?

    That.

            Here ya go again - muttering something really idiotic, then playing that stupid "you didn't get it" crap. If you have something intelligent to say (fat chance of that) then just spit it out. Or, just keep spewing forth stupidity - that seems to be all you're capable of doing.

              How about Hillary Clinton's former 2008 campaign manager, Patti Solis Doyle?

              Source: Former Clinton Campaign Manager Admits Hillary's Recent Comments on Trump Voters Were 'Bad'


              Hillary Clinton’s 2008 campaign manager, Patti Solis Doyle, criticized Hillary’s recent remarks in India that Trump voters were racist and sexist. She told S.E. Cupp Tuesday that the comments were “bad” and she couldn’t sugarcoat them. She also echoed Meghan McCain’s comment on “The View” that this was bad messaging for Democrats headed into the midterm elections.

              "His whole campaign: 'Make America Great Again' was looking backwards,” Hillary told a crowd in Mumbai of Trump. “You know, you didn't like black people getting rights, you don't like women, you know, getting jobs, you don't want to you know see that Indian American succeeding more than you are, whatever your problem is, I'm going to solve it.' So it was a symptom."

              "Look, this was bad. I can’t sugarcoat it," Solis Doyle said. "She was wrong and clearly it’s not helpful to Democrats going into the midterms and certainly not going into 2020. She's put herself in a position where Democrats are going to have to distance themselves from these remarks and distance themselves from her, particularly those Democrats that are running in the states that Donald Trump won."

                Whenever she does these "off the top of her head" ramblings, it reveals what a screwed up head she really has.

                  No, she's just pointing out what screwed up heads Trump, and many of his supporters, really have.
