Thank God Hillary Lost
Despite being a rabid HRC supporter, I now see the greater good that has come about since she lost the election.
The threat to our national security due to her email server, a headline story for months, has now completely disappeared from the news. I can only assume that this is due to that ominous threat having coincidentally ended on election night. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I now sleep a lot easier at night knowing this dangerous threat to our safety was somehow eradicated the minute Trump was elected.
The overwhelming problem of her Benghazi involvement, also coincidentally, ceased to be problematic at the exact moment the election was called for Trump. Kudos to those PTB who, after endless investigations, somehow resolved our long national nightmare in a single 24-hour news cycle last November.
Being a great admirer of Hillary’s, I am particularly happy with the sudden turnaround in her health. After months of reading about her suffering from dementia, seizures, Alzheimer’s, a brain concussion – along with the mind-altering drugs she had to take to counteract the effects of the many life-threatening conditions she was reportedly suffering from – I am thrilled to see that she has somehow pulled back from imminent death and appears to be in perfect health.
I am forever grateful that Hillary not being elected POTUS means we no longer have to fear the wars we were told she was determined to start, specifically with Russia. Instead, we can all rest easy that we have someone in the White House who has such a close, intimate relationship with Putin that there is literally nothing the Russians can do that would cause him to stop praising their leader’s every move.
But the real upside of Hillary’s loss is that those who warned us she was a corporatist who would place her Goldman-Sachs, billionaire buddies in Cabinet positions were heeded, and their encouragement of others to vote third party to avoid that catastrophe really paid off. Congratulations to those who saved us from having monied, out-of-touch, clueless incompetents put in positions of power simply by virtue of their financial wherewithal and/or their generous campaign contributions.
Let’s face it, fellow Hillary supporters. Things have apparently turned out for the better, when you consider how many of HRC’s “problems” are suddenly not problems any more. The things that were an overwhelming threat to our national security have miraculously been dealt with to the point where they no longer warrant so much as a mention by the MSM.
Thanks to all of those who refused to vote for Hillary. You helped us dodge so many bullets that now no longer seem to exist.

I wish this point would be brought up again and again. The fragile flowers who live on spin, cowering in the face of facts and truth while claiming they are suffering deliberate attacks of fake news ought to be reminded that the real president faced it every single day with unfaltering dignity.
But I get what you're saying. Great post.
Yep, short sell before the crash!
I wish your hopes were true. 
This election gave us just what we needed: a (fake) tough guy! Who needs decades of political experience and knowledge about the military when you can just fake it and make people feel good? This country was getting too soft and too relaxed under Obama. Everyone was taking everything for granted, and now Trump is just the person we need to stir the pot and get more people "woke"!
Which I'm pretty sure is composed of vintage Yugo parts. Purring like a kitten, she is! All ahead full!
Can't top your terrific screed, NanceGreggs. Thank you!
heartbroken that while I appreciate the message and snark, it still brings me to tears. 
But Hillary will never stop working for us all, even though some never appreciated her one whit - and still don't. Screw them forever! Hillary would have been a President for ALL Americans even though the terrible insults, slanders and lies have STILL NOT stopped and likely never will.
I am STILL with her. To me, voting for Trump - or not voting or voting for anyone other than Hillary - and STILL not regretting those choices are absolute lines in the sand. I do NOT want such people in my life at all. They will not be welcome in my home or anywhere near my personal space - whether they are family members or consider themselves "friends."
What is amazing to me is that some still do consider themselves friends. They seem to think that I'll "get over it." But these differences are not simply political differences that can be accepted - even when difficult - as with Bush II. They are existential lifestyle changes and I simply will NEVER "get over them."
As for family members I must meet in certain situations (holidays, weddings, funerals, etc.), I will be minimally courteous. But I will remove myself from their presence as soon as possible and will avoid such occasions like the plague.
I am DONE with them. They'll literally have to crawl back. If they don't, I won't miss them at all. My life is a very full one without them.
understand your musings ?
The last things the willfully ignorant get are satire and irony.
Brilliant writing and astute observations by my favorite DU contributor.
All of this would have happened with a Democratic congress and president.
I'm very angry at the leftists who didn't support our Dem candidates for president or congress claiming they weren't liberal enough or some such bullshit. Allowing these sociopaths to take control over all 3 branches of government is already screwing us all. The people who didn't vote for our Dem candidates should be ashamed of themselves.
America is very vulnerable right now due to our incompetent leadership and empty positions in many national security roles. Meanwhile our Republican Congress is gleefully gutting social programs, regulators, scientific research, destroying our environment, and eliminating entire agencies.
The only positive hope is that this will energize liberals to throw these assholes out of office.
are nowhere near the White House! 
Bullet dodged and all that, right.
and this OP is a prime example. Thanks Nance!
