The president's mood has been buoyed by recent polling and his visits to battleground states, as Trump sits in a Manhattan courtroom for his criminal trial.

        Utterly unelectable is a weird way of describing someone who got 3M more votes than the other guy.

            She lost because the electoral college is broken. That’s not the same as being “utterly unelectable”.

              Wasn’t her whole schtick that she knows politics better than anyone? She really should have seen that coming and campaigned in swing states

            It was Russia that tipped the scale, including by convincing traditionally democratic voters in key states to vote third party or not at all.

                She was by far the most qualified presidential candidate in history. You’ve fallen victim to a smear campaign, but are blissfully unaware of it.

                  It’s really insulting being told that my opinion is the result of a smear campaign.

                  I witnessed the smear campaign. It was unfair. I still didn’t like her.

                  Then I’m repeatedly fucking lectured that an embattled former First Lady, two term Senator, one term Secretary of State was the MOST QUALIFIED EVER candidate. Being embattled and disliked isn’t as great an asset as you want to think, especially when you LOSE.

                  No, she fucking wasn’t. And the insistence that she was really hurt her chances because a mythology was being built up around her rather than presenting her as an honest, straightforward candidate.
