But still, free news coverage for Hillary. No wonder Democrats love Comey for blatantly trying to help her win.

Nope. There's quite a difference. If you don't get it, you might have to look up some campaign-era archived shows from CNN/MSNBC. it comes off like "Trump this, Trump that, Trump says, Trump Trump Trump Trump - Hillary under investigation again Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump ... case re-opened ... Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump ..." ad nauseum.

The fact that Trump is such an unhesitating, natural liar helped him a lot as well. Hillary, not be quite as well practiced, didn't come right out and scream "Lies, lies lies!" every time she was confronted. Even if she had, there was so much baggage on her back that it would only have elicited complaints about her being "shrill". Trump had no qualms about it though, and his trumpsuckers ate it up, as he knew they would. Hillary ended up looking ridiculous; like a prom queen standing in a pig sty getting splattered with shit, while the crowds cheered for the pig.

And I really think that's a fair analogy. When I'd point out Trump's lies to supporters I know, they'd recite - almost as if by training - "well, that's just Trump". Even his own campaign managers did that.

Someone once said "there's no such thing as bad publicity".

Comey got Hillary lot's of publicity. The whole email thing is probably why she won the popular vote if you insist on counting California.

The Dems need to make sure all their potential candidates start keeping their government emails on private servers the Russians can hack so they can be assured of all this valuable free publicity. Well, when they get government jobs again.

Until then maybe some Weiner pics will bridge the publicity gap.
 
At the end of the day, I think people saw Trump wanting to win the contest to be president so he could "Make America great again." She wanted to win so she could be the first women president and she deserved it for waiting so long....

Apparently, only Trump supporters know what that phrase actually means. And, only Trump supporters didn't see that as a meaningless platitude spouted by a petty, vindictive, narcissistic pathological liar.

Except you're not proving your point. Trump won by sinking the lowest level. Obviously that is a winning strategy.

I thought Trump won because he/his supporters didn't feel a compulsive need to describe a large chunk of the electorate as racist, stupid or otherwise deplorable.

Trump indicated that Americans can't do their jobs if they're Hispanic. He also let us all know that POWs are losers because they got captured by the enemy. He let us all know it's OK to mock the handicapped. He flat out lied and claimed 'hundreds' of Muslim-Americans celebrated 9-11 and never apologized. Trump let us all know it's OK to mock women if they act uppity.

That's a large chunk of the electorate that he was racist, stupid and otherwise deplorable to and thus gave permission for his supporters to do the same. So I'm afraid you're mistaken.

That is about the best analysis I have seen of the 2016 Presidential campaign. Ignore the mud slinging from both sides and that was pretty much all that was left. :slowclap:

How is one statement about what "people saw" and the other just a straight out assumption about what Clinton wanted?

Great analysis of a Trump-supporter... your sentence... are you asking a question, making a point, or trying to say anything literate at all, Texas? You said "how is... one thing, another? How is <WHAT> and <WHAT>.. illiterate, the lot of you "deplorables".
