Quote:To say she lost because of lost jobs because of Obama's economic policies is absurd. When Obama took office the unemployment rate was over 10% and rising. It's now about 4.9%

 

I can assure you, being a small business owner, many of my customers were affected seriously back in the great recession days. They lost their jobs, took pay cuts, reduced hours. We didn't see them for a couple of years. Our business suffered as well. They started returning to us in '11 and '12 and now our business is back to where it was before the collapse.

 

I think Hillary lost because she never ventured into the rural areas of the country to assure them the government was not coming after their guns or their income. Too many talking heads were scaring them into believing she would. She did nothing.

Not many rural folks would have voted for her anyway. I wouldn't lay her loss at the feet of "clingers".  The fact of the matter is she's a wholly unlikable shrill megalomaniac of questionable character. So much so that she lost to Donald J. Trump, for God's sake.

 

Much like Bob Dole did to the Republican party in 1996, the Democrats nominated her because many believed she was owed. Mainly for her loyalty after not divorcing Bill all those years and heaping more scandal on the man who was the best thing to happen for the Democrats since JFK. The Democrats are suffering from a self-inflicted wound.
