Obviously, Hillary Clinton prefers fantasy to the harsh political reality of her disastrous campaign

It has been six months since the political world was rocked to its core with the upset election of Donald Trump as President. One person who has not gotten over Trump’s victory is his opponent, Hillary Clinton.

Of course, in the days before the election, almost every pollster and commentator predicted a Clinton victory. She was overconfident and believed the media spin. Incredibly, she was outperformed by a political novice, who won 306 electoral votes in 31 states, an unexpected landslide.

This week, in an interview with Christiane Amanpour of CNN, Clinton blamed the loss on “the combination of Jim Comey’s letter on October 28 and Russian WikiLeaks.”

Obviously, Hillary Clinton prefers fantasy to the harsh political reality of her disastrous campaign. She said, “I was on the way to winning” until these supposedly disastrous circumstances united to derail her candidacy. It is quite convenient for Hillary to blame everyone else but herself.

Hillary claimed that Comey’s letter and WikiLeaks disclosures were critical factors that “raised doubts in the minds of people who were inclined to vote for me but got scared off,” For good measure, she also blamed misogyny, using the sexism card once again.

Of course, this is pure nonsense, a web of fantasy woven by a sore loser. The day after the interview, President Trump tweeted “FBI Director Comey was the best thing that ever happened to Hillary Clinton in that he gave her a free pass for many bad deeds!” Comey could have recommended an indictment of Clinton, but he refused to pursue charges, even though he castigated her for “extremely careless” handling of top secret email communications.

The WikiLeaks disclosures exposed the Clinton campaign

The WikiLeaks disclosures exposed the Clinton campaign using improper influence with the Democratic National Committee and the media to steal the party’s nomination away from U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders (D-VT). Without such unfair advantages, Clinton may have lost the nomination to a 74-year old socialist, an amazing situation for a candidate with so many advantages, including having a former President as a husband.

In her imaginary world of victimhood, Clinton now wants to galvanize opposition to Donald Trump. Reports have surfaced that next week, she will officially launch a new organization called “Onward Together.” She wants to capitalize on the motivated leftwing activism protesting the President. Her supposed new mission can be summarized in her recent statement to supporters, “let resistance plus persistence equal progress for our party and our country.”

Ironically, many of the left-wing activists challenging the President are supporters of Bernie Sanders and not Hillary Clinton. They realize how horrible a candidate Hillary Clinton was in both of her losing presidential campaigns, 2008 and 2016. Thus, even though Hillary is becoming “part of the resistance,” it is not clear how warmly the hardcore liberal activists will welcome her.

Notwithstanding her rhetoric and blame shifting, Clinton did not lose because of outside influences, she lost because she was a horrible candidate with an unpleasant personality. She does not exude warmth or empathy like her husband, in fact, she has a reputation for being the “Queen of Mean.” For example, numerous security officers who served in her protection detail in both Arkansas and the White House claim she is a nasty person with a horrible temper. This anger and selfishness was also apparent on the 2016 campaign trail.

It is obvious that Hillary and her party will do almost anything rather than examine their own failings

It is not surprising that during her race against Donald Trump, she did not connect with the millions of average Americans who struggled during the Obama years. These voters in the Rust Belt and other areas of the country were looking for a champion and they found that in the candidacy of Donald Trump, not Hillary Clinton.

Clinton spent over $1.2 billion in the general election, outspending Trump 2-1. Even though she possessed this incredible paid media advantage and the so-called objective news media were totally behind her, Clinton still lost to her underdog opponent.

Today, Democrats continue to obsess over a supposed Russian-Trump connection. This exercise in futility is a diversion from the soul searching the party should be doing to understand their historic loss.

It is obvious that Hillary and her party will do almost anything rather than examine their own failings. Instead of looking in the mirror, they prefer focusing on a make-believe world of conspirators and political opponents plotting to deny their candidate her long overdue victory.

While some Americans might like to believe this fairy tale, most prefer reality. In the real world, the only person to blame for the Democrat Party’s embarrassing loss is Hillary Clinton.

That witch needs to go bury her head in sand and get over the fact that the better person won by a landslide.

From time to time good things come to past and the "sorest loser" is one of them. If the "demolition" party had any smarts at all they would avoid the "Queen of mean"." Shim" ( a cross between a female and male) being smart as she claims ought to retire with her ill-gotten millions. That is not likely to happen as persons like her always have to be in front of the parade. The thing that might stop her is for her either explode or implode. either way is fine for me, however imploding is a not as messy.

I don't know. Take away the Comey thing, take away the wikileaks disclosure is the race a lot closer? I think it accounted for a few points but Trump still wins. This is just a discussion point. I too believe that the majority of the conservative electorate was really, really tired of obama and her vow to continue his policies. Add the fact that we desperately needed a conservative justice in order to prevent the collapse of the country over the next four years and we win. I was as stunned on Wednesday morning as I was when the muzzie was re-elected. Elated, but stunned. Now, I'll say that Trump had better get his promises kept in order to get a second term.

Hillary is mentally disturbed- she's a reality denier.

Living with Billy Bob had its price.. she had to develop denying into a major part of her psyche and, well, now she has that really, really dark creature Obama as a wee buddy-boy, so... that's probably what we're witnessing.

Take away the DNC's underhanded help to Hillary, her criminal behavior, and the fact that the e-mails did expose her disdain for her own supporters and she may have won also. If Trump is the idiot loser the Democrats portray him as they should commit mass suicides for losing to such a person.

S. Maturin

"... they should commit mass suicides for losing to such a person."
Tut, tut... you're just wishing... naughty lad.

lindajoy Loc: right here with you....

With you on that!!! The more "relevance " we give her the more she will believe she's still got it!!

Ignore her and she'll slither away not to mention causing her "fans" to see she just can't do it again either.. Warren toying with running I don't think the D's will fall for Hills again???? Then again,~~~~

We cannot ignore her because she has no shame and she has a following willing to excuse any degree of moral turpitude in their favorite witch. We need to keep reminding her that she is an unindicted criminal who should be behind bars along with her husband, for the betrayal of our nation for money, and the perversion of our justice system where the Attorney General as well as the FBI were agents of her corrupt activities.

Ignoring her will not make her go away, she needs to be lanced like any festering boil.

S. Maturin

Yes. Cowardly Obama chose to 'ignore' all the threats to America and none went away. So, there it is.

(OK, so cowardly Obama also nurtured America's enemies while ignoring their transgressions.)

Great post Rivers. When were your years of military service?

S. Maturin

When what?

When did four years of service become a perquisite to voting or being citizen enough to comment upon political affairs in the USA? If that is one of your assigned requirements, then you feel people like, say, Charles Krauthammer should just shut up and not dare speak a word about this country's deeds and conditions?

I may agree that service to one's country should be a requirement to living in this great country, but my personal feelings on the matter should not limit another's participation----- until laws change, right?

I was only curious. Jeez

S. Maturin

Ok, but that demand sounded like, well, a demeaning put-down such as has been ised here numerous times before.

Maybe the question might have been phrased a bit differently?

Maybe I read a bit too much into it?
