In reply to the discussion: Why do Hillary haters almost invariably deny Russian influence in the election? [View all]okieinpain
(9,397 posts)87. i disagree. i think HRC had a bad campaign and to me
they got overconfident and let their guard down. yes she had a lot against her but she only needed 85000 votes in 3 states to get across the finish line.
and i also can not forgive the fact that between her campaign and the dnc they only spent 2% of millions with black owned businesses. in my very humble opinion that is some bullshit.
even if she lost she and the dnc could have made big in roads with the AA community if they had helped some of those businesses have a really great year. instead it comes across like what a lot of people in the AA community were saying that they only give a damn about our votes.

Because I think she ran a great campaign. But the FBI rigged the whole thing against her, much worse
