    The MSM and twitterverse has been full of endless "blame Comey" for the loss of the election, so much so I'm tired of trashing them. For years Ed Klein has been a thorn in the side of both Bill and Hillary, and I found Klein's version to be something different with a twist.

    But then one could ask at this time, what difference does it make? Heh.

    Love me some Ed Klein - he can always be counted on for some juicy inside info on the Clintons and Obama.

    Looking across the pond from the UK to the US it looked to me that Hillary Clinton thought she had the election in the bag from day one and was very arrogant. She never really touched on the economy and just seemed to count on the fact that many voters would turn against Trump - in the end he touched on subjects that mattered which created a louder voice than his obvious personality defects.

    How you can blame 1 person when Election is a team work ? If I'm wrong. Please correct me. I read some statements of Hillary during Elections. I felt , She is talking more about other country's welfare than American's welfare. Trump also made many statements about many countries but his basic point was ' How we can bring change in US foreign policies '. Hillary somewhere missed basic point . Possible I'm wrong. but what i saw is, Hillary tried to be a global leader without winning election and Trump said I will 'Make America Great Again'. President of US can be a Global leader but Presidential Candidate of US can't be a global leader. Hillary Missed focus somewhere and Trump focused on only 1 point. I want to be next president of US.

    Very true, perhaps Hillary was trying to run before she could walk - i.e. Looking ahead to her global stature before she had secured the presidency?

    I voted for Trump, but I was quite shocked when he won. We have more dems than Republicans in the US, for one thing. And most of the media and pop culture are heavily biased towards the dems - and they all did everything they could to try to carry Hillary across the finish line. And Trump wasn't the greatest candidate...

    It seems as though Hillary is apparently just that damned awful. She's corrupt, dishonest, phony, two-faced, an unindicted criminal, and stands for nothing but her own greed and lust for power. It appears that enough people realized this and voted against her.
