Isn't this resistance more like Chocolate Mousse and Latrine?

If only.  "Haven't we met before, monsieur?"

As close as it was in three states that mattered, any number of issues could've moved the needle just enough to  matter. Like women-hating fetusfuckers that finally got to get back at Mommy and Grab that Pussy.

I was talking about the Democrat best positioned at the moment to capture the "resistance" movement identified in the last episode of "The Circus".

Fine, I amend my statement to just--

Warren has already wandered into Clinton/Pelosi Cunts Real Americans Fucking Hate territory.

--so she's right out.

I strongly dislike Pelosi and Warren. -_-

Sorry if this has been posted.

QuoteClinton stated broadly that she takes "absolute personal responsibility" for her failure to win the White House. Yet the Democratic nominee declined to fault her strategy or message, nor did she acknowledge her own weak­nesses as a campaigner or the struggles by her and her advisers to at first comprehend and then respond to the angry mood of broad swaths of the electorate.

Instead, Clinton attributed her defeat to a range of external ­forces, including saying she was a victim of misogyny and of "false equivalency" in the news media.

Clinton said she was confident that she was on track to winning the election until two things reversed her momentum: the release of campaign chairman John Podesta's emails, which were allegedly stolen by Russian hackers, and Comey's Oct. 28 letter to Congress that he had reopened the bureau's investigation into her use of a private email server.

"I was on the way to winning until the combination of Jim Comey's letter on October 28 and Russian WikiLeaks raised doubts in the minds of people who were inclined to vote for me but got scared off — and the evidence for that intervening event is, I think, compelling [and] persuasive," Clinton said.

:lol:  Go back to the woods, Hillary.

I don't see anything she says there as being wrong.

This election was close enough that there were probably ten different minor effects that changed the outcome.

Trump needed to have everything break just his way to win...and it did.

Her mistake was getting only 3 million illegal votes when she needed 4 million.  What an idiot.

So close to saving the country. So sad.

So you think she was taking "absolute personal responsibility" for losing the election?

Seems to me Donald took a bit of break from saying retarded shit but he's definitely back on his game.

Blowing that Oval Office metaphor reference was priceless.  The man is as deep as a pan of Jell-O.

I heard Hil didn't even go to Wisconsin one time. That sounds like bad strategy. Maybe she didn't make all those plans herself.

I don't know... maybe if they run a white guy?

The Hilary lost because white guys didn't vote for her seems hollow when matched against the fact that 53% of women voted trump and minority turn out for Hilary slumped from barrack. But sure it was white dudes that cost her the win.

That's not to say racist and bigots didn't vote for trump, but the they would have voted for trump regardless of the democratic candidate.

Maybe some of that 53% of white women would be more comfortable voting for a white guy as well?

Not sure a white guy other than Bernie is going to do that.  Warren seems the best bet.  Fienstein was getting jeered and booed at her town hall  meeting for being too mainstream.

Warren?

I think she'd have an uphill battle with a lot of the people who went for Trump. She may also have a hard time with the Yis, Valmys et. al. who went for Hillary.
