To what?  Her connection to a Satanic Pizza parlor?  People want unapologetic dishonesty.  Saying "I'm sorry", or "I was wrong" only tells people that you did, in fact, do something wrong.

Disagree.  She should have doubled down on the lying.  Trump did that, and that was the secret to his success.

Clinton lost because she believed that the truth mattered.

I think that pretty much succinctly sums up the 2016 shit show.

just because a strategy for one person doesn't mean it would have worked for everyone. I don't think hillary could have so easily and casually flaunted the truth

plus, no one wants to see a lying, calculated woman. what worked for trump doesn't necessarily work for hillary

The kind of voters Hillary needed were not that type.

The woman's been typecast as a liar for a generation.  Done and done.

you're the one who kept talking about how bad of a liar hillary is and how it's not her thing, whereas trump excels at it. I thought that was a pretty good observation.

Hip plus Flynn is a POS to boot.

As important as Mattis would be in keeping that conspiracy nuthouse in order, he's not going to be in a position to outflank Flynn.  Crazy is going to win those battles.

Of course they were serious.  Bigly serious. She needed to hoard the truth and carelessly handed it out, instead.  So sad.
