(25,274 posts)her victory. I assumed watching her at her huge rallies and seeing how tRUMP was whining about the attendance of her rallies vs. his (what doesn't he gripe about?), that she was going to be aok vote-wise.
Of course, after I voted and then went to bed that night and found out that she lost, I was disappointed. A lot of us were.
Huge amounts of money were raised too, so that's not the issue, I suspect. Pointing fingers isn't going to solve this, getting voters to the polls, perhaps it was a matter of voter fatigue, but I don't know, djt was running nonstop for president for four f**king years. You would think that that would alone, driven people away from tRUMP.
Maybe it was the endless election cycle this year? It seemed like it went on forever, and if tRUMP was trying to bore people to death (and he did), he succeeded. He may have won by boring voters to death, they voted for him to shut up. This is not the 100% of why he won, but I do wonder.
We have had two cycles that we've lost a presidential election. We also had a presidential candidate who was changed at the last minute due to age. How could we have let this get so far? How could a candidate get this far into the process and us not catch it? Do we need to buff up our primary processes and bring in more aggressive and youthful candidates from the very get go? Lots of questions but I fear no answers. I think we're all shell-shocked still, perhaps.
At least this time around, anything that tRUMP does will be done in broad daylight for the most part. We'll see how much he screws up.
