10. Hillary did not run the smartest campaign, but I do believe this election was stolen.

Dec 2016

I do believe she won Wisconsin and Michigan, and possibly Pennsylvania. I believe Donald Trump was doing what all nefarious and sneaking people do by hiding the truth in plain sight -- he said the election was rigged and he knew this to be true because his team was the one rigging it.

I don't want to denigrate Hillary. However, I do think it's important to know what went wrong (or the MULTIPLE things that went wrong) so that we fix them in order to win in subsequent elections.

Putting our heads in the sand and saying there was nothing Hillary could have done to change the outcome is simply not true.

Fielding a better candidate would have also helped our chances. It would not help to pick a more popular figure next time, since so much of this stupid country is obsessed with celebrity.

Yes. That's exactly what I'm suggesting. Obama would not have had the election stolen. Tatiana Dec 2016 #14
