You don't think if she had bothered campaigning in States like Michigan instead of taking them for granted she might have had a better chance...

You can find it as funny as you like but Clinton was so useless....Trump won..............Just like Labour would have a new leader now if Cameron had fought GE17.

She (and her campaign team) clearly made mistakes. Easy with 20/20 hindsight. I'm sure she realises that, but to use the fact she wasn't perfect as an excuse to vote for a buffoon, and then blame her for his buffoonery, just shows how daft some are.

Iran is a more or less functioning democracy in a region that is not exactly known for it. It does have an unhealthy relationship with one extreme kind of religion but its main sins these days seems to be that it is an enemy of Israel and it is not a push over for standard US 'diplomacy'.

Historically getting rid of a western leaning puppet did not exactly endear it to the west, nor did some of the rhetoric (or Hizbollah for that matter, but then one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter).

I do think they are a bunch we would be much better talking to than threatening, not that that is likely to happen with Netanyahu whispering in the Orange one's ear.

As for Trump apparently he has a fear of slopes and stairs. If he was part Dalek it would explain a great deal.

Trump's approval rating is back in the 40s...His handling of the Hurricane problem was given approval. (CNN words not mine)

With Incumbency 40%ish isn't the end of the World.

Clinton lost because the Black vote was lower in 2016 than 2012...

Prior use of the phrase Super predator and the controversial three strikes and you are out policy Bill brought in...may have contributed..

No evidence to suggest a Black President contributed to her defeat in anyway.

Black voter turnout 66% in 2012
" " " 59% in 2016

She couldn't get the vote out...Simple as.

That and a proportion of Trump voters probably voted for the first time in a while.

Vagaries on both sides...Feminists that felt ripped off by Barack in 2008 would have come back...Trump would have attracted new voters and some dithering Democrats...

8/10 of both totals are staunch GOPers and Dems who vote for party.

Fact is she lost by 10, 000 in Michigan...and 40,000 in Pennsylvania..Two states with sizeable black populations and two which would have won her Penn Ave..

Was quiet for a while in trump land but now we have his rocket man feud, healthcare defeat, arguing with the NFL and the warriors.

Why is he at rally's energising his base, there's 3 years until the next election - could he actually try being president and getting something done?

I'd love to know what his aims for office are, genuinely. He just seems to start fights in empty rooms and actually do nothing.

Getting nothing done.....Maybe he is taking his lead off Obama..

Dow Jones is at a 32 year high....

Standard of living has gone up....

Unemployment is at 4.3% which is the best it has been since 2002....

Trump needs to shut up and own the Economy like all Presidents do.....

Let the Economy take care of itself....Keep playing golf.

I wouldn't vote for Trump in a million years....Just pointing out the Economy is a massive driver when it comes to voting in US elections...........Don't make the mistake of thinking just because he's not well liked personally it means a great deal........

Had the GOP picked a better candidate than Mitt the stiff.............Obama would have been out in 2012...

The Democrats will still have to pick soundly should Trump avoid being impeached..

Can only think of two Presidents in history that didn't get a second term with a flourishing Economy.......Chester Arthur and that was over rows about Government expenditure and infighting in the GOP......and......Franklin Pierce and that was over slavery.

EPA Administrator under fire for same..Treasury Secretary under fire for wanting use of Private jet for his honeymoon....

What happened to "I'm going to drain the Swamp" ??

I see his Tax plan is basically a giveaway to his Mates.....Hope the Democrats that fixed it so Clinton could run against him are happy now......

The only candidate he could probably beat...

Laugh Who ever believed that was going to happen? Trump and his corporate dealings are a swamp in their own right. He doesn't, and never did, give a sh!t about it. One thing he is good at - spotting a sucker (or in this case, millions of U.S. voter suckers)....

Stop banging on about the Democrats/Clinton. The only people to blame are those that voted Trump. It's not like they weren't told about it by Clinton et al or couldn't find out the realities themselves if they'd actually opened their eyes. No, they actively chose to believe Breitbart etc over the MSM and real, bona fide experts. You can't teach that level of idiocy. They just chose to stick their heads in the sand.

Trump had a winning message and he's a world class salesman. He tapped into the feelings of a neglected group. Hes also obviously a liar and a twunk but at least he made them think he's on their side.

People will believe whatever they want to believe to be true. Look at the Canary over here. Every side sees bias where the BBC writes an article that doesn't flatter their side. Tribalism is human nature.

picard No. Sorry. To be told that what Trump et al were up to was lies and fabrication, to ignore acknowledged experts and to cut off their noses to spite their faces is, in my view, absolutely a form of idiocy. They'd be called Flat Earthers in another era. If you don't like 'idiots' (fair enough I guess), how about 'credulous' or 'naïve'?
Yes, I disagree with them but I would never vote for that Snake Oil Salesman, even if I thought Clinton was a poor choice as the alternative. Simply voting for Trump to spite Clinton is pathetic.
You're right in some sense in that not all Trump voters are idiots. Clearly some actually believed in him and voted for the right reasons and many were clearly fed up with business globalisation etc. However, to come up with this BS that it is somehow Clinton's fault that Trump is a loose cannon and not actually doing what he promised, is the height cowardice. Democrats who couldn't be bothered to vote - fair enough, I accept they can shoulder some of the blame.
Those that voted Trump, Trump himself and his followers own this and no amount of trying to abdicate their role will change that fact.

I know someone who voted Trump and he's done as hoped - make the rich richer.

People will believe whatever they want to believe to be true. Look at the Canary over here. Every side sees bias where the BBC writes an article that doesn't flatter their side. Tribalism is human nature.
Quite. Clearly, we aren't as advanced as we like to think.

It's effectively a two party system so Clinton and the democrats have to shoulder half the blame, her view that she was entitled to be President drove voters away and there's only one other option, it isn't like here where you've got multiple choices. You also don't have a clue why people voted and I doubt the economy was foremost in a lot of minds.

The Democrats should shoulder precisely none of the blame in this case. Constant repetition of erroneous statements doesn't make it fact. It's not like their Reps and Senators are laughing stocks. Clinton's a capable woman - she has to be, to be who she is. It wasn't her spreading 'fake news' or lies about her etc.
"Her view that she was entitled to be President" - listen to yourself. I don't recall her saying that anywhere - do you? Too many heard what they wanted to hear and didn't think to challenge any of it; you too by the sound of it.

1 - Seriously? You think we have more choice than they do? Look at the voting # from the last GE. Sure, there are more than just Tories and Labour, but effectively it's just those two. Pretty sure there are more than just GOP and Democrats in the US too - we just don't hear a lot about them.

2 - So Clinton's "It's the economy, stupid!" has no bearing then? You don't think those so-called rust-belt towns and cities that went for Trump weren't thinking about the economy? Headscratch If not the economy, what do you suggest was foremost in people's minds? Xenophobia? Racism?

Clinton did get 3 million more votes than trump. Seems strange to be blaming her and democrat voters for trumps actions.

The Democrats were dumb enough to select Hillary. Possibly the only candidate who, due to her arrogance and entitled manner is probably the only candidate who could lose to Trump.

Repeating the same thing isn't strengthening your opinion Navy, the simple reality is Clinton is the only candidate that Trump could beat. She's had a sense of entitlement for years now and it doesn't have to be said to be known, you can infer meaning from ones actions.

How can someone say the Democrats deserve no blame ??..

I mean where do you start.

1. Picking a candidate with terrible personal ratings.
2. Campaigning in areas she didn't need to and avoiding places she needed.
3. Calling Trump voters deplorable.
4. Picking the only Candidate who had a Husband who was a bigger sexual predator than Trump.

The "Grab Women by the Cat"...Kills Trump against anyone else..

Stop blaming struggling Americans for going anti-establishment when the establishment could only offer her.

Standard of living was down...Food stamp use was up..Businesses were struggling.

Crap answers sounded better than no answers to many.

Trump shouldn't of won he knows it...

Ahh. The 20:20 hindsight, aren't we clever argument. As for the 'Clinton was the only candidate Trump could beat' thing, you have no idea if that's true, whatsoever.
TBH, I don't care. Those that put Trump in the White House (and those Democrat voters who abstained) are really the only ones at fault, if fault it is, now.

I get all this Truss. I don't dispute it, but to either vote Trump (when you know he's lying) or not vote Dems just because Clinton got the nod is daft. Understandable perhaps, but daft.

For some it would clearly matter that she was a woman.
