    I didn’t suggest they were the same.

    Do you think he could have beaten anyone else?

    His win was very much due to her failures.

    Interesting analysis here, how it came down to not 2.8 million votes, but only 78,000 votes in three counties:

    Data scientist Azhar Hamdan noted the paradoxes of the 2016 outcome, saying that "chief among them [was] the discrepancy between the popular vote, which Hillary Clinton won by 2.8 million votes, and the electoral college, where Trump won 304-227".[381] He said Trump outperformed Mitt Romney's 2012 results, while Clinton only just matched Barack Obama's 2012 totals.[381] Hamdan also said Trump was "the highest vote earner of any Republican candidate ever," exceeding George W. Bush's 62.04 million votes in 2004, though neither reached Clinton's 65.9 million, nor Obama's 69.5 million votes in 2008, the overall record.[381] He concluded, with help from The Cook Political Report, that the election hinged not on Clinton's large 2.8 million overall vote margin over Trump, but rather on about 78,000 votes from only three counties in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan.[381][382]

    Not a good question. He shouldn't have beaten anyone at all, because "Yeah - we're not going to make a moron President" is more important than, "Did Hillary sell uranium to Russia and kill Vince Foster"?

    Man, to have a webcam on these meetings.

    "I want you to fire Mueller!"

    Okay, sir.

    "I want this investigation shut down!"

    Right away, sir.

    "And I want it done immediately!"

    We're on it, sir.

    *door slam*

    "Dude, we ain't doing that..."

    Kind of like when she wonders why the media never covers the good things they do. Or as we say here, "you only cover us when we lose."
