Why Hillary Lost 2016

Why Hillary Lost & Where We Go From Here

The post-mortems on why Hillary lost are finally in full swing and I'm in agreement with the gist: the media misrepresented her, didn't correct lies about her, and the Comey letter sealed the deal. She also, of course, made mistakes herself, especially by misreading the angst and mood of the country. Here's the thing, I am/was/will always be a fan of Hillary Clinton. Is she a perfect person or candidate? No. Do I agree with every part of her platform? No. But she is brilliant and spent her life fighting for children and healthcare. Did I want her to run this time? I was only against it because of exactly what happened. She got beat up - again. She has baggage, almost 100% of it lies or ridiculous twistings of the truth - but people just can't seem to get past their hate.

Under The Bus

If you know my husband Bryan, he had crazy hair throughout his teen years. He got grief about it and swore he would let our kid do what he wanted. So, Dex had his hair longer for a while. Every single time I talked to…
