Could it perhaps been because of the DNC platform?

No.

 She lost because:

1) 8 years of Obama.  She kept saying she wanted to continue his policies.

2) She is a terrible politician. She is not her husband.

3) Lack of personality.  She is cold, calculating and insulates herself from the world. Her disdain for people is very apparent.

4) She's self adsorbed. It's all about her. This was suppose to be hers as in a coronation.

5) Lies, Lies, Lies, and even more Lies.  She's not even a convincing liar.

6) Calling Trump supporters "deplorables" and other unsavory names.

7) No accomplishments after 30+ years in government. As First Lady she kept the WH embroiled in controversies and scandals. As a junior Senator she accomplished very little.  As SOS she was a walking disaster as her and Obama's foreign policy destabilized the ME and lowered the US standing in the world.

8 ) Couldn't motivate her base.

  I could go on and on.  The DNC got snookered into nominating her (rigged nomination) and after 8 years of the worse president in history they needed some new energy, not a rehashed tired sick old woman.

The saddest thing about the cupcake/snowflake generation is that they believe democracy means they get to have their voice heard and nobody else gets to have their voice heard unless it agrees with them.
Typical spoiled brats.

Spin Zone / Win - Lose

I'm laughing at the people who are so fixated on who "won" the popular vote

Let's use a sports analogy

In Football, one team will win the turnover margin
In Football, one team will win the time of possession
In Football, one team will have the most 1st downs
In Football, one team will have the most yardage
In Football, one team will have the fewest penalties

While all of that might be important to varying degrees, at the end of the game, the only thing that counts is which team has the most points.

Spin Zone / A thought for the other side...
« on: November 09, 2016, 10:30:11 AM »
Posted this to my FB since I have friends and family who are reeling today...

I want to take a moment and share a thought with and for my friends and family who wake up today in a world that seems upside down and at odds with their beliefs, hopes and aspirations - this too shall pass. I fully expected to wake up exactly where you are, with real fear in my heart for the future of our nation and her people - I have been living this, each and every day, for more than a decade. My beliefs, values and philosophy have been under assault for roughly 12 years - simply because of the party or candidates I support I have, directly and indirectly, been called names I would have never expected, I have been accused of things that are unspeakable, and this is where we the people have to bridge the gap and reject the rhetoric of divisiveness.

I strongly believe that it is not only possible to disagree on policy and still be friends, it is needed. Rejection of a policy position is not rejection of the person who holds it. Disagreement about a belief is not a value judgment of the person who believes it. We must be able on all sides to separate this in order to escape the destructive effects of identity politics and be able to see the good in all Americans regardless of their positions.

I believe that the most important word in the name of our country is united. We are united as a people not because we hold the same exact beliefs or values and march in lock step, but because we are united in a system that provides the most opportunity ever provided, in a system that, when it is functioning, allows for disagreement and course corrections by recognizing the strength that flows from all of us, not any singular group.

I know from personal experience that today is painful but I hope that those who are wondering what this all means can reject the manufactured caricatures and seek to find common ground, since there is far more where we agree then we are being told by a partisan media.

Donald J. Trump was never going to be a 'good' candidate in any traditional mold, and what he has done, and his primary and lasting achievement IMO, regardless of what happens now, is that he has put the flame torch to the keep of the political-media establishment, and has if not permanently at least temporarily put the entire power structure on its' heels and I believe, as I have maintained throughout this election, that THAT is what is most desperately needed for all Americans.

Spin Zone / Suicide Watch at MSNBC
« on: November 09, 2016, 09:05:11 AM »
After Trump's speech I turned on MSNBC.

Oh my God.  Apparently, Trump won because ALL of us white voters are racist misogynists, and a Trump victory has unleashed us to drag our womenfolk by the hair to our next Klan rally.

The defeated Leftists are going to go scorched earth.

Rachel Maddow wanted is to think about all the people who will be living in fear with a Trump presidency - Muslims, immigrants, hispanics, women.

Lawrence O'Donnell embarrassed himself and should surrender his man card for saying that half the country is crying right now -"literally crying" - in fact he received a message from a college dormitory where EVERYONE is in tears over this.

It was glorious.

Once the corrupt comedian, Comey is gone, and Loretta Lynch with him, maybe we can rebuild trust in our law enforcement apparatus. Eric Holder, Loretta Lynch, James Comey, Valerie Jarrett and Huma Abedin have to be indicted. Hilary Clinton, Barack Obama and a score of others need to feel like the noose is tightening around them for their crimes.

Obama was an arrogant, far left, radical activist, who used the Office of the Presidency to Fundamentally Transform the U.S. into a communist, banana republic. Trump doesn't have to be arrogant like Obama, but must persevere to reverse all that he did, and also create an environment for capitalist, private sector, economic growth.

Agreed, but there should be no wavering relative to the wants and wishes of the left.  The citizens of the United States gave full control of the country to Team R last night.   No more progressive light.  Capitalism and and the ideal of a smaller government need another shot at salvaging this great country.  The war was won...now as gracious winners Team R needs to heed the wish of those who put them in office last night.  This is not the time for white flags and group hugs.

Trump has promised to appoint justices in the Scalia mold.  That is our only hope.  This is a major hit to the anti American, PC, Progressive movement.
Ted Cruz should sail through a nomination for SCOTUS. The rest of the Senate can't wait to get rid of him.

I rarely use the "C" word, as I find it far more vulgar than the "F" bomb. I reserve it for very few cases, and have said it rarely in my life. But, let's face it, Hillary is a classless "C".

Dammit!!  It was her turn!  She was owed this!   Those deplorables did this!

Hopefully the last we've heard of the Clintons, time for them to shuffle off to the old folks home and wither away.
No.  I want to hear more about them.  I want to hear that they get convicted on a dozen different counts of fraud.  I want to hear about them getting hit with endangering and disclosing national security data.  I want to hear her screech "right wing conspiracy" one more time.  And I want Chelsea to refund the foundation for the costs of her wedding.

The need that overwhelms the young, far left to be the center of attention at any cost is to blame, not the election.
Those pathetic, liberal, snowflakes have no idea how great they had it until they just had to elect human sewage like Barack Obama, Governor Moonbeam and maybe Hilary Clinton.
Wait till the gravy train runs out of cash and they actually have to fend for themselves.
Now THAT will be stressful.

The people who get prosecuted for security violations knowingly compromise material that they knew to be classified.
Sorry but this is clearly and demonstrably false, intent is irrelevant in crimes involving mishandling of classified information.  Intent does not show up in the law/regulations governing mishandling of classified information, Comey made up that up out of whole cloth when he first let her off the hook. 

The applicable statute deals with gross negligence, which was in fact proven, intent is not present in the mishandling law.  The entire and only point to having a law dealing with negligence is to be able to charge and punish for negligence which is unrelated to intent (intent is featured in other laws relating to treason, spying, etc.), but not negligence.  Comey did not say she was innocent, far from it he went on a 15 minute rant elaborating a litany of her errors, all he said was no reasonable prosecutor would bring charges - two totally and completely different things.

All this does is continue to serve as a direct reminder that there are two sets of rules, one applicable for we mere peons and the apparatchiks of power that do not support the Left (or fall out of favor for whatever reason), and another for the high muckity mucks.  The system is indeed rigged, if only someone were pointing that out.... oh wait

In only 8 years this administration has succeeded in politicizing, weaponizing and ruining nearly every institution of power in the US, the IRS, the DoD, State Department, DoJ, EPA, HUD/HHS, and now even the FBI - it is the most pathetic period of time in the history of our nation IMO.

Spin Zone / Re: Common Sense Gun Control
« on: November 06, 2016, 08:44:32 AM »
It seems to me that (a) one side wants to remove guns from people before they use them in crimes and (b) the other side wants to remove guns from people after they use them in crimes.  (a) is unconstitutional and (b) is too late.  We already have (b) and are slowly and steadily moving toward (a).  The problem is that a bloody schoolyard is a much more powerful image than hundreds of robberies that are prevented.
A bloody schoolyard gets better ratings on the news and plays the emotional card. However, a bloody schoolyard wouldn't happen if we had the proper security/police and/or armed staff/teachers to protect the children. Labeling schools as a "gun free zone" only makes it a target for criminals.

Still that schtick, eh? I don't know about you, but I don't vote to simply pick a winner. I vote for a person who I sincerely believe can lead our great country in a general direction of which I am comfortable. My vote is sacred. My vote is powerful. With it I can help effect change. With it I can send a message.

My message this election is to the two major parties: your candidates fucking suck, and they won't get my vote.

A principled vote is not a wasted vote. Period.

I'm reminded of the headstone with the epithet "He had the right-of-way."
