Is this the new defense? I ask because I've also seen people here defending biden by mocking people for not liking him "because he's not perfect". No one hates these slimeball politicians because they're a little less than perfect, they hate them for doing heinous shit like supporting genocide. We all saw how hillary laughed after she was key in destroying Libya. She was a favorite of billionaires and gave well-compensated speeches to big banks. She's a garbage out-of-touch politician who threw her weight around in the democratic party and in the media to shut out Bernie, who was an actually great candidate who would've beaten trump.
In her mind, it was her turn for the presidency and you can see how bitter she is about that loss because she still won't shut the fuck up about it to this day and she loves to insert herself into conversations. So yeah, thanks for giving us trump, you selfish asshole. At least we all can point and laugh at you for your repeated embarrassing public displays of bitterness over never achieving your power-hungry dream of becoming president. Pokemon go to hell.
Clintons are the "NEW-Money" in politics. Bill was governor and Hillary was a lawyer getting kickbacks from Bill and vice-versa. Nothing illegal but it was all "gray-area". People hated this type of double-dealing. Just barely-legal but completely unethical and morally-bankrupt. Then Bill got caught lying with his pants down.
Hillary never understood peoples sentiments that the Clintons smooched on the system and tax-dollars yet they still got away with it.
This is a problem of character meets long-term actions and tendencies.
Hillary never got "her turn" because dirty politicians are not loved. She forgot that hard-work pays off when you are clean. And she forgot to campaign in Michigan and other places instead wanted to take a break.
Hindsight 20/20. If she and Bill had come clean, told the voters that they wont be doing the old runaround and clean up the system and take responsibility and have Bill "SHUT THE EFF UP YOU PERVY IDIOT". There might have been a chance that Hillary could have garnered sympathies as a hardworking housewife with a screwloose husband.
Dems snatching defeat from the jaws of victory and all that.
