Less than the population of a college football stadium made the difference. Dems need to work harder this time around - simple as that.
I believe people are in denial about the power of social media and too embarrassed to admit that they fell for it, whether it was they thought they could vote from their phone or that Hillary gave birth to alien babies. Voters need to smarten the fuck up.
Whatever makes you feel better
Edit - I guess GHWB is pretty close.
Clay, “the great compromiser”, sec of state, Senator, house rep, speaker of the house.
Mccain, speaker of the house. Senator.

Calling her the most qualified candidate ever was a fucking joke. GHWB's resume runs circles around Hillary's.www.myspace.com0 -

Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me0 -
To rattle off the "accomplishments" and positions of someone's political career isn't to say they're the most qualified. Voters obviously don't vote based on qualifications as evident with who is in now.0

I see there are some big fans of that HRC support and YES vote on the Iraq Invasion? Yeah, she was a Senator lol0
-
If she was so qualified maybe she would have gone to the midwest
Just stop with the Hillary nonsense... she sucked as a political candidate and got beat twice because of it, save the qualified noise0 -
Everything HRC did the moment her husband won the presidency was designed to get her into that same spot years later. I think that's the main difference between someone like her and someone like Bush Sr who nearly lost his life serving this country.
And, of course, his list of accomplishments in government vastly overshadowed hers anyway.
Always bugged me when Obama would say that during the campaign.www.myspace.com0 -

Hillary is:
1) Well educated
2) Practicing lawyer (Childrnes defense fund?)
3) Former First lady
4) Senator
5) Secretary of State
So - education...understanding of the law...understanding of white house activities...won statewide election...was part of an admin in one of if not the most important assignments (my opinion). All good.
But if we are talking ever? There were some highly qualified presidents way back. I think you could easily include her in the discussion...and it's not unreasonable to pick her. But personally I think it's either Jefferson or Monroe. But I'm probably forgetting someone!hippiemom = goodness0 -
Shit, Nixon was more qualified.... that worked out great lol0

And with Hillary, we wouldn't have putin on the ritz pulling strings, NATO and the UN being demonized, degradation of of our military and intelligence services, a government shut down over a stupid border wall and a president who understands the constitution, separation of powers and how to navigate and work with Congress to get shit done, and be able to explain policy and legislation so the average person could understand it.

It doesn't even matter who's "qualified" for the job. Look at Clinton in '92, Obama in '08, and Trump in '16. They were all less "qualified" than their opponents. But they were all good public-speakers and they type of people that voters can become a "fan" of.2000: Camden 1, 2003: Philly, State College, Camden 1, MSG 2, Hershey, 2004: Reading, 2005: Philly, 2006: Camden 1, 2, East Rutherford 1, 2007: Lollapalooza, 2008: Camden 1, Washington D.C., MSG 1, 2, 2009: Philly 1, 2, 3, 4, 2010: Bristol, MSG 2, 2011: PJ20 1, 2, 2012: Made In America, 2013: Brooklyn 2, Philly 2, 2014: Denver, 2015: Global Citizen Festival, 2016: Philly 2, Fenway 1, 2018: Fenway 1, 2, 2021: Sea.
