    You say it was an easy win, but HC was once one of the top 3 most popular politicians in America and at the same time I’ve never seen people so enthusiastically support a candidate like so many support Donald Trump. They put flags on trucks and formed convoys to harass democrat campaign busses.

      I don’t know about top 3 popular, in the SE Hillary is probably one of the top 3 most hated politicians and land area wins elections here unfortunately.

        A Quinipiac University Poll in 2013 found her to be the most popular with 64% approval, but that was being very generous imo.

      It’s easy to support a lie that’s convinced you it can give you everything THEY have been keeping from you.

      Hillary? Popular? Did you just pop into this timeline from another reality?

        Yes, the reality that existed before 2016. It was extremely different from now.

          You keep using that word.

          I do not think it means what you think it means.

          She was far from popular, in 2016. How old were you 2016? Because research may not be painting you a good picture.

          And if you were an adult, perhaps you were isolated? I don’t know the explanation. But you are quite wrong. She has never been popular with the majority.

              Democratic primaries? How much national popularity did that take?

              Lol, ok, you win, I give up completely. Your logic, I can’t compete. She was the Beyonce of 2016.
