121. So Hillary couldn't handle any opposition whatsoever?

Thu Jan 19, 2017, 09:24 PM

Jan 2017

One candidate runs against her, one candidate, and she loses so it's HIS fault? Come on.

She's been preparing to run since Bill won the presidency and she loses?

It's simple - so many people dislike her that many of them voted for Trump even though they weren't exactly thrilled with him either.

Sanders, BTW is giving the GrOP'ers hell everyday but where is Hillary?

He's old and will be gone soon anyway. We need to find new blood for the battles ahead.
