Hillary Clinton

(28,564 posts)I have many thought roiling around in my head that I need to harness so that I can articulate them in a sane way. Suffice it to say that I believe in 2008, after a pretty hard-fought primary, Hillary Rodham Clinton dusted herself off, grabbed the mop and bucket, and went to work wholeheartedly for her opponent.
I do not think that this behavior was repeated by the runner up of the 2016 primary.

(2,322 posts)Hacking was a big deal until the results didn't agree with all the polls and we accepted them without asking the obvious question: Did somebody change the totals in the swing states?
I have to believe Obama is having Comey look into this. And that Comey loves his country.

Haven't seen any reports about hacking but it has certainly been a thought for many...
Could this be possible?

We have to stay strong together.

(28,564 posts)2008 - Hillary pulls more popular votes in the primary. Concedes (yes, I know, it's about delegates, not votes, but she still earned more, and yes, I'm counting Michigan and Florida because people did go out and vote).
2016 - Hillary wins the primary by a wide margin. Primary is apparently "rigged".
2016 - Hillary is currently ahead by more than 1.1 million votes in the popular vote.
Sense a pattern?

(75 posts)states shouldn't be voting; people should be. Hillary won the relative majority of votes; she has the moral right to office.
