Although I suspect his next venture might be running against Governor Whitmer, in 2022.

Just like in ‘08 there were a couple states that went for Obama that went red again in ‘12, Michigan is gonna be back in the blue column this time around. There were several things that happened that caused an unexpected loss last time, most notably Hillary taking it for granted. If we take it seriously we won’t lose again.

That's why there was a last-minute flurry of visits by Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.
She didn't run a great campaign. That's just reality.

She was there when the 1st water disaster hit Flint.

She campaigned in Michigan & all the while against not only Trump & the NRA, Putin, Social media, bot farm bs, but also the shut out from media while glorifying the disaster we have today..

There came a point where no amount of campaigning, anymore than she & her team had already been doing, would have changed the outcome.


Stop treating 2016 as though it as a normal type of campaign & put to rest the smear that was fielded by the continuous oppo media messaging that Hillary was a flawed candidate, a lousy candidate, her hair, her voice, her illness, her fking shoes.
She did her part. She ran a great campaign considering who all she had to run against. It wasn't just Trump.

Pity no one bothered to hear what she tried to tell us.
Because they certainly all heard every smear, swiftboating meme by the right, the far left & foreign imaginary bots.

To blame that loss in any State on her 'not doing enough, is really an ongoing campaign to suppress what actually took place.
We Should have paid more attention to Hillary's words than jump on the swiftboat to hell & repeat it till it becomes the biggest lie of that campaign.





Stop it.
I have no intentions of relitigating 2016.
Here's your answer.
The shithole we are in today happened because more were interested in hearing & repeating the mass swiftboating of this candidate while praising the actual flawed one.

Don't ask me about this bs again. Thank you.

18. Well, the truth over the swiftboated lies are probably a good place to start.

Anyone can hang on to the version that none of that existed..

I'll stick to the facts as it happened.

Ya know, there were many States she never campaigned in yet they all managed to vote HRC Blue . They weren't complaining that she didn't come to their State 'enough'.
🙄
Maybe they were listening to her over the chatter of the lies of the swiftboaters.



Bye...

Trump was here every week for months, she showed up a couple times and then once at the end when it looked like she might be losing it.

If a guy like me knows 4 trump voters who now plan on voting for Biden the gig is up.

If Joe picks an African American female the deal is done.

Never forget, we went for Obama twice.
