5. That's hooey. Clinton ran a good campaign, won every debate decisively . . .

was leading "bigly", if I may, before Putin, Assange, and at the last minute, Comey pulled that unprecedented, underhanded, clearly calculated bullshit.

No other candidate in history has had to deal with the FBI director, a foreign actor (our chief rival power), and a fugitive leaker working to defeat them.

Opposition forces seized the opportunity and pulled every string behind the scenes against the Democratic candidate to secure all branches of government for the repugs — the media (Morning Joe, FOX, right wing radio), the aforementioned operators — now they have SCOTUS too.

Let's face it. It was a right wing power grab, a coup that happened right before out eyes.

Put the blame where it rightly belongs. Bernie would not have won either with that kind of unprecedented undermining.

The only saving grace is that the repugs always lead the economy into a recession or depression with their favor-the-rich policies (Hoover, even Ike, Reagan, Daddy Bush, W).

Let's hope that happens this time before Trump gets to fill all the upcoming vacancies on the Supreme Court.
