Outstanding rebuttal. Thoughtful, insightful and enlightening.

Nothing about this election was a blow out. In my opinion, the next election in 2020 is going to be an automatic loss for republicians. Too many democrats have been annoyed and pissed off that they will probably win just by finally just showing up to vote. The demographics are changing and things are already on a razors edge.
The incumbent has the advantage. I think people thought that there was no way W would win again, but it happened. Plus, it might be Pence running as an incumbent. Not saying that 2020 is an automatic win for Republicans, or even that it's better than even, but it's close to even.
Well, Clinton left with a great economy and still Gore couldn't finish it against Bush.
I think Trump's problems are more personal in nature with a lot of voters than Clinton's issues with being a dog. People beat up on Clinton's personal life but aside from Hillarycare, I don't think most voters had much policywise to hang their hat that they disagreed with strongly. I still occasionally hear from older coworkers how their stocks did during the Clinton years. In my opinion though, you insult someone personally, they likely will remember that for a long time and never come around. No matter how good the economy did or how many problems you fixed.

She lost the game of electoral points because nobody trusted her, not because she couldn't connect with them.
Well known for riding her husband's coattails, and being the worst Presidential candidate in history. A two time loser, who lost to an inexperienced politician, and a no-experience politician, who had far more obstacles in their way than Hillary Clinton.
Worst. Candidate. Ever.
Do you even have candidates in Canada or does the Queen pick your leader?
It wasn’t idiotic at all. Trump winning says a lot about society, the gop, tribalism, etc but not that he’s automatically better than Hillary.Sometimes it is the perfect response to an idiotic post.

But of course that requires some observation and thought, so natuarally it went over your head.
No doubt, Hillary is the worst candidate ever. If you can't beat Trump.............First she shs lost to a junior senator who did nothing in congress...oh and he happened to be the first black guy too.
Next she managed to lose to the biggest moron to ever run for president. Dude was literally a bad reality show host.
But Hiliary still managed to be worse canadates than these two.
I honestly think she is the worse major candidate to run
What? I’m observing not projecting. And you don’t even know what my views are because instead of dialogue you post a dumb meme. Waste of time.Says more about how terrible Hillary was, you projecting your views onto America is idiotic and I don't expect you to comprehend that.
Even for you, that's weak.

Dude, she got 65 million votes, what are you talking about?
To hacks here, the most recent candidate from the other party is the Worst Ever.
if she was smarter and had a better platform then she wouldve won
I think you can make a very credible argument that Clinton was the worst candidate of either major party in the modern era. She had to field an impromptu primary challenge from a 74 year old independent with no party support and a nonexistent national base, and then she lost to very definitively the biggest moron in the history of American presidential politics.

She couldn't have lost the race without millions of rustbelt Obama voters deciding to vote for Trump. The fact that she neglected the rustbelt (0 visits to Wisconsin, only a late push in Michigan) is part of the reason she is classified as a poor candidate.If you define the "modern era" as beginning in 2016, maybe. Republicans vote for the Republican candidate. The fact that Trump is grossly unqualified and obviously incapable doesn't do nearly as much to make him beatable as you might think. The most obvious counter point to your claim is the fact that she ran ahead of down-ballot Republicans. And, of course, it seems odd to say that someone who lost such a close race with all the odds stacked against her (Russian interference, FBI, media, the fact that a generic Republican had an edge in the race, electoral college working against her, etc.) is a worse candidate than the many candidates who have lost by much bigger margins, ran behind down-ballot members of their party, etc.
