I agree with you that Trump is tone deaf, entitled and arrogant and therefore had no chance to win the general election.

I just find it odd that people say all these crazy things about Hillary (she isn't likable, isn't an executive, made mistakes, etc etc) but to Trump himself or the countless GOP candidates he defeated no one says those things. It's like you're reaching for excuses to put the blame on her when perhaps there were other forces at play that were much more significant. There's a reason why parties lose seats the year after winning an election and so on; you can't always blame the candidates for what happens in an election especially when you and I both know that at the end of the day most people are stupid.


When the Onion picks up on things there may be something to it.

She's not a criminal or anything but she's been entitled pretty much always. Doesn't change a thing about Trump so if the Apologist strikes that does not mean we shouldn't be voting Democrat this November.

The way the talking heads at Fox were building up this report coming out every week for as long as I can remember, I knew it was going to be an actual nothingburger. Anytime they get all giddy about a report it turns out to be nothing. They sure know how to push their followers buttons though.

Comey's take-

First, the inspector general’s team went through the F.B.I.’s work with a microscope and found no evidence that bias or improper motivation affected the investigation, which I know was done competently, honestly and independently.

The report also resoundingly demonstrates that there was no prosecutable case against Mrs. Clinton, as we had concluded. Although that probably will not stop some from continuing to claim the opposite is true, this independent assessment will be useful to thoughtful people and an important contribution to the historical record.
