Hillary Clinton: „Es wäre aufregend zu sehen, wie Kamala Harris den Durchbruch schafft, den ich nicht geschafft habe“

Please stop talking

Maybe you should have campaigned on a progressive agenda then.

I don’t think making this about race or gender is going to help Harris. She is doing a good job of making this about Trump and his (lack of) policy. I think that is the path to victory.

Geez! When is she going to retire and shut up. Clinton’s comments and relentless drive to stay in the news are getting old. She is loathed by wide swaths of the electorate: right, center and left. She and her husband need to stay away from the Harris campaign!

Don’t make those about historic breakthroughs. This is about the economy. …. And democracy and world stability, in general.

I know that I’m a fucking downer, but I can’t foresee a reality beyond Nov 7 that isn’t chaotic and dangerous.

Either Trump wins and he begins to reshape the government to enact bloody revenge on his enemies, or Trump loses and he foments an insurrection and we start to see domestic terror attacks in state capitols.

I don’t love her, but it’s an article about her memoirs, and the reality of the first woman president. People need to get a grip.

Hillary would have been the most experienced president we’ve ever had.

Buttery males!

I feel so sorry for HIllary. She won the popular vote by millions of votes, she was the most qualified by far, she had detailed policy proposals that she was busily explaining to everyone the way we used to do during campaigns. But those days are over. Kamala has figured out people don’t care about policies or interviews, it’s all about vibes. Trump marked the beginning of the idiocracy in this country.

Could I understand Hillary saying this? 100 percent. Just because she said it doesn’t mean it’s her main message. The media writes the headlines.

I remember people saying Hillary was unlikable and other stuff. But she did win the popular vote, so it wasn’t like voters didn’t want her as President. She ran a shit campaign by taking for granted the states she thought she had in the bag. 

Plus, I feel it can’t be underestimated just how much free media coverage Trump gets just by being outrageous. No matter how much the media says they’ll not fall for Trump’s latest crazy behavior, they love it because it sells ads.
