So tell me again where we went "wrong". [View all]

Hillary championed the rights of women. Trump talked about grabbing women by their pussies, because men with money and power should be allowed to do that.

Hillary disclosed every detail of her tax returns and said, “This is out there for all to see.” Trump refused to disclose any of his tax returns, and bragged about how not paying taxes was “smart”.
Hillary provided details of her proposed policies, how they would work and how they’d be paid for. Trump simply said, “I’ll fix everything – bigly. It’ll be great, believe me!”
Hillary’s message was about government working for the 99%. Trump’s message was about lowering taxes for the 1%.
Hillary talked about how we are “stronger together”. Trump incited violence at his rallies against those who thought “being together” was a worthwhile endeavour.
So tell me again how the HRC/Democratic message was the “wrong message”. Tell me again how the candidate that promoted that message was the “wrong candidate”. Tell me again how that message was SO wrong, the majority of voters found it to be “right” – and cast their ballots accordingly.
This election wasn’t about what was wrong about our candidate – it’s about what is wrong with an antiquated electoral college system that hands the presidency to a man the voters have rejected. And in its aftermath, it’s about people who are more interested in saying “I told you so” than admitting we had the right candidate all along.
The people have spoken. They chose HRC as their next president. And THAT is something some people simply choose to ignore, because it renders the “we had the WRONG candidate” narrative to be totally without merit, and reeking of wanting to say “I told you so” being far more important than anything else – including the welfare of their fellow citizens.
