What an accomplishment!
HRC would have been one of our greatest Presidents; instead we have ended up with the absolute worst so-called President ever!

And what they still continue to do to her. Her only crime was being a competent, center-left, strong female politician. I am in awe of her for enduring what they put her through.

And I try not to think too much about how we could have had a much more competent, compassionate, law abiding, and visionary woman for President .... instead of the disgusting train wreck we have now. It was stolen from her. I just get too depressed thinking about it.

against us - by design. I am not proud of it, but I have such a fine, hearty hatred for the entire republican party and especially Trump, who has turned it in to a bigger sewer than it already had been.

that a lot of Democrats bought into it as well. The right absolutely hated her husband, but he had enough charisma to ward off their assaults. Being an intelligent woman, Hillary was a much easier target, but it did take decades of persistent attacks based on nothing.

Only one of two things can be true:

1) Hillary Clinton is guilty of every offense that the vast Right-wing conspiracy has accused her of but she is so smart and manipulative that she has evaded every effort they've made to bring her to account. (If she's that savvy, maybe she should be president!)

OR

2) She's not guilty of everything they've thrown at her.

What does the evidence actually show?

Steve Schmidt and Nicole Wallace were once part of that smear.

They ran Palin, a lead smearess.

and sold it to a gullible misinformed America.

Their fear of her winning changed American democracy, broke Congress, brought down the entire Department of Justice, and drove Republicans to consort with misogyny, racism, betrayal and treason.

It wasn't her loss - it was our loss.

Twenty five years ago, Reagan led the charge to de-regulate the public airwaves. The subsequent concentration of media ownership coupled with the vile of right wing shock jocks paved the way for our current crisis.

We MUST unravel the media monipolies and re-regulte campaign finance.

We can expect it from the rightwing because this is what they did for decades. But you could still read the same rightwing propaganda and conspiracy theories here on DU just to push another candidate.

because that would force the defendants to testify under oath. Conway said it best “unless you are under oath, you can say anything”.
