They did both for the same reason, Marv.
Maybe it was too classy. The mood of the country was not to keep with the same 'ol, same 'ol politics as usual. People on both the left and the right wanted radical change, and I really don't think she ever got the message. She did what Democrats always do: they assume that people will come to their senses and think rationally. This time, they didn't. I think she got a lot of bad advice. She didn't court the younger generation like she should have. Granted, there was a lot of ground to cover this time as far as policy is concerned, but you see that Trump didn't do it, and it worked for him. Trump won on smear and fear. Maybe Clinton should done more of that, too. Trump got the most reaction from the revelations of that Access Hollywood tape. So, why didn't Hillary push this? Why didn't she play up that lawsuit alleging Trump and another man raped her as a 13-year-old in 1990? It would seem that it would have been a slam-dunk for her. Was it because of Bill Clinton's problems with Jennifer Flowers, Monica Lewinski, and others? I don't kn ow about you all, but I was really hoping someone would come up with something so damaging to Trump that he would lose, but no one did. Larry Flynt, and others even offered to pay the legal fees of anyone who came out with evidence. It's out there. There is still time.
I can't wait to see this on a billboard in a few months:

TnT, you and da hooch...sounds like a plan! LOL
I read this earlier and feel some of his points are quite valid
The Democrats Screwed Up
....such as:
Liberals miss this by being illiberal. They shame not just the racists and sexists who deserve it but all who disagree. A 64-year-old Southern woman not onboard with marriage equality finds herself characterized as a hateful boob. Never mind that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton weren’t themselves onboard just five short years ago.
Political correctness has morphed into a moral purity that may feel exhilarating but isn’t remotely tactical. It’s a handmaiden to smugness and sanctimony, undermining its own goals.
and I totally agree with:
I plan to use greater care in how I talk to and about Americans more culturally conservative than I am. That’s not a surrender of principle or passion. It’s a grown-up acknowledgment that we’re a messy, imperfect species.
also:
Democrats bungled a terrific opportunity to retake the Senate majority by ignoring the national mood as they picked their candidates. A party that prides itself on looking out for the little guy went with the biggest names it could find.
Can't argue that and I've seen it first hand and probably been apart of it more than I'd care to admit. But as I said somewhere else, the reasons are many. Some more valid than others but trying to come to a definite one is futile imo.
However, based on what we are seeing out here....HATE TRUMPS THEM ALL. The devil is alive and well, although my pastor tells me his time is almost over...hmmmmmm...we shall see.
"But as I said somewhere else, the reasons are many. Some more valid than others but trying to come to a definite one is futile imo."
The point of the article is not to be definitive, but to point out that a number of the wounds were self-inflicted.
“Heartbroken” Hillary Clinton Blames One Person For Defeat: FBI Chief James Comey

More than he can take credit for beating her. One congressman said openly that the main reason for the Benghazi/private server hearings was to damage her politically. And if you think that the media was not compliant, ask yourself why you haven't heard about e-mails since Monday. It's because they were never important to begin with. She underestimated both how many enemies she had and the extent that they were willing to go in order to get her.

Well, that didn't take long. The first of my Negrodamus prophecies has already coming true.

You got that right! This is one time I have to disagree with Mrs. Obama when she says when they go low, we go high! This is not that type of country anymore. When you are in a fight with a PIG, you have to get down in the mud with him and kick his ass.
