I was and still am proud to have supported Hillary.

[boston bean]

She was a great candidate. She faced unprecedented meddling from a foreign nation swaying an election.

It took an FBI director to bring her down.

She was one hell of a candidate who received millions more votes.

I am proud of Hillary.

1. And my postmortem thoughts:

[LisaM]

2. I stand with you.

She would have been a wonderful president.

[applegrove]

3. There are so many reasons why she lost. Many of them beyond her control.

[TwilightZone]

12. Agreed.

It's nowhere near as simple as many want to make it.

[democrattotheend]

4. I wouldn't go so far as to say she was a great candidate

But I am proud to have supported her, because I think she would have made a great president.

I am proud of her too. I think she will be looked back on as the woman who paved the way for whoever finally breaks the glass ceiling.

[RoccoR2]

5. I hope she stays healthy and lives a long life

She fought many battles and deserves a happy and long retirement

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

6. Here, here!!

[applegrove]

8. Yes. I'm sure she and Bill will do great things.

[brer cat]

7. Me, too, bb!

[ismnotwasm]

9. Well hell yes

We lost a once in a lifetime opportunity to bigots, Republicans, political naïveté, and some very successful trashing from the left.

Trump should have got nowhere near the office, but Republicans nominated him, and outsiders from the left helped lay those weights around her neck.

In spite of everything--she did fabulous, and I have never admired a woman more. Like all feminist who have been successful change agents she took a hit for the rest of us. For our daughters and for their daughters.

10. Clinton WON by 2.5 million votes. it is the iniquitous inequity of the Electoral College system

which put the King of Clowns in WH. THe Electoral College proportionally disenfranchises those of us who live in more densely populated districts and states.

THis result is astounding considering how the M$M (90% controlled by 6 corporations) pushed the GOP's Big Lie that she did something criminal or at least egregiously out of the ordinary at DoS. That was bullshit, thanks to M$M only a few percent of the population knows the Clinton email "crisis" is for the most part BULLSHIT.

The real Clinton email scandal is that a bullshit story has dominated the campaign

[StevieM]

28. Great article. Thanks for the link!! It does a great job of debunking some of the GOP lies. (eom)

[Bill USA]

38. here's another. Classified info in unclassified system not at all limited to Clinton

.. Note that Clinton did not initiate any of the emails in question. Which begs the question, if Comey REALLY thought some emails contained classified information ....WHY ISN'T HE INVESTIGATING THOSE WHO SENT THE EMAILS???? Too embarassing for GOP Toadies of M$M to ask?

Did you ever hear anybody on M$M point out that Clinton did not initiate any of the emails in question? THis bit of information would have made her statement that she trusted the career professionals at State to know what was classified. This statement itself should beg the answering of the question: "What, you mean when they say 'Hillary's emails' they mean emails that were received, not sent, by her???"

note: this article should not be read but studied... and read more than once -- to gain a full understanding so you can talk about it to others.

Use of Unclassified Email Systems Not Limited to Clinton

Of the 30,322 emails made public, 2,028 have had portions redacted and are now classified at the lowest level of classification, “confidential.”

Nearly three-quarters of those emails were classified because they contained what is called “foreign government information” — a vast category of information, gathered through conversations and meetings with foreign counterparts that are the fundamentals of diplomacy, but which had to be protected when the emails were released.

Last week, in an apparent attempt to dispel criticism that many of the emails were improperly sent, a top State Department official argued in a letter to three Senate Democrats that the nation’s diplomats and officials were in fact allowed to send “foreign government information” through the government’s unclassified computer systems.

“Department officials of necessity routinely receive such information through unclassified channels,” said the letter, dated May 2 and written by the assistant secretary of state for legislative affairs, Julia Frifield.

11. I am here bb!

[Paladin]

13. I'm with you. And I'm damned sure with Hillary. (nt)

[tenisfin]

14. There has been some arm chair quarterbacking. . . . .

done and no one is the perfect candidate, but I supported Hillary with deep and principled pride and continue to do so. She ran an amazing campaign full of great ideas informed by her decades of knowledge of how public policies can make real differences in peoples' lives. My reaction to this sickening election had more to do with a grieving process over her lost opportunities than anything else. She was a hell of a candidate and for the rest of my life, I will take pride in my support for her.

[hrmjustin]

15. I will always be proud of Hillary and proud to have voted for her 7 times in my life.

I am proud of each of those votes and I will always believe she was the most qualified to be president. No person or campaign is perfect and no doubt some things in hindsight could have been done differently, but all in all I am proud I supported the candidate who took the high road!

I will always be proud to say I campaigned for Hillary many times in my life and I made many good friends doing it. I saw a lot of NYC doing it and had the time of my life.

I still can't look at her without crying. I was like that in 2000 with Gore and I know this loss will hurt till the end of my days. I also know that we win elections and lose them, and no matter what happens we must keep fighting for our values no matter who wins.

May God bless Hillary and her family with good health and happy days.

Fight the good fight!

[murielm99]

16. I'm still with her, bb.

[Gothmog]

17. I do not regret supporting Hillary Clinton and I was proud to be one of her delegates to the DNC

I do not regret supporting Clinton. The trip to Philadelphia was not cheat up. I do not regret going to Philadelphia as one of her delegates and supporting her

[realmirage]

18. So was I, but we have to move forward now

[shenmue]

19. Amen

[Beartracks]

20. All the biases, obstacles, ridicule, lies, and dirty tricks, and then...

... she STILL won the popular vote by millions.

That is pretty damn incredible. And so is she.

==================

[Branmerr]

21. I am always with her!

I am proud of her and my vote!

[kebob]

22. Me Too!

Who wouldn't be?

[mike_c]

23. yeah well, I think I'd rather have a democratic party president....

...but more power to you.

[mtnsnake]

24. Really? I would never have thought it.

I hope you're just as proud of all the Bernie supporters who voted for Hillary in the general.

[LS_Editor]

25. Meh.

[lastlib]

26. I Stand with Hillary!

It took an FBI director to bring her down.

It took a LYING FBI Director who needs to be FIRED TODAY! And a media that had a passionate bromance with the Orangefeuhrer.

[TCJ70]

29. This is a new one...

...what did he lie about?

[mcar]

27. Me too!

[Squinch]

30. My Hillary bumper sticker is staying on my car till we get a decent president. Luckily, I

donated a number of times and have about 5 other Hillary bumper stickers to replace this one with when it gets worn. This could take a while.

[Sunlei]

31. I am very proud of Hillary Clinton. She was held to a higher standard & met those challenges with

grace & strength. Her team are also remarkable people, hard workers & loyal friends for decades. Great Americans all of them. Hillary is up by close to 3 million popular vote, she won this election.

[jmg257]

32. She came SO close!! nt

[lunamagica]

33. Me too. I'm very proud of my President, Hillary Rodham Clinton

[AgadorSparticus]

34. She is simply amazing. It breaks my heart thinking how she has been treated.

And it makes me love her even more.

[Cha]

35. Hillary is a leader to be very proud of, boston and it's not over yet..

[Warren DeMontague]

36. I am proud to have supported her in the GE, and I'm proud to have supported Sanders in the Primary.

I am proud to have voted for every damn Democrat since Dukakis, because I'm sure they would have made a far better POTUS than whatever Republican they were running against.

Hell, I might have even voted for Fritz Mondale, if I had been old enough, since I really didn't like Reagan. I don't know what Mondale's fucking problem was with NASA, though.

[Martin Eden]

37. I take no pride in my vote for Hillary

It was a no brainer. Donald Trump is a narcissist, a misogynist, a sociopath, a racist, a pathological liar, and a dangerous demagogue wholly unqualified and unfit to be president.

If I had travelled to a battleground state and done everything I could to GOTV for Hillary, then I might be proud.

I am not proud. I am deeply ashamed to be associated with a nation that elected the likes of Donald Trump to the most prestigious and powerful office on the planet.

[NastyRiffraff]

39. Agreed.

As far as I'm concerned, she's MADAM PRESIDENT.

[Starry Messenger]

40. I am too. I miss seeing her now.
