(24,007 posts)...BS that Clinton needs to remember that most Americans do not consider her trustworthy.
Conway must have inner ears of steel to not have vertigo from all the spinning she has to do.

(10,500 posts)a top staffer for an incoming president be as partisan and critical of her former opponent as KA Conway has on a couple occasions towards Hillary Clinton.
I can't remember any of George Bush's top advisors speaking that way about Al Gore once the race was over.

Hillary Clinton Could Win The Popular Vote In A Massive Landslide, IBTimes, 11/21/16

Cook Political Report has her ahead by 1.7 M votes in this story -- 63.6 M to 61.9 M
If so that means for every 3 remaining votes, 2 will go to HRC and 1 to DJT for a net increase of the margin between them of 1,
meaning she will net 1/3 * 7 million remaining votes = 2.3 Million more for a total of 1.7 + 2.3 = 4.0 million margin
I know that leaves out some 3rd party votes. And it says "nearly" 7 million. And that MOST of them are on the coasts ... so 4 million is probably a bit of a stretch on the upside by me.

Quiz answer: 2004 is the only year that the Democratic presidential candidate lost the popular vote in the past 7 elections. In all of the other 6 elections -- '92, '96, '00, '08, '12, and '16 -- the Democratic presidential candidate won the popular vote.
Unfortunately, the Dem's record is 4-3 as far as winning the presidency thanks to the founders rigging elections to favor the slave states

(4,642 posts)to my favorite president, Hillary Clinton. I think she did a awesome job, worked harder then anyone I have seen in my long lifetime. Ran an excellent, substantive campaign even while the networks were head over hills in love with the trump show. She is my president, trump is not. I totally respect her, not the idiot in chief trump. I hope what ever she does in the future she will be happy and successful. I would like to thank her for taking on the monster and beating him with the popular vote.

I hope an audit is done and it's forced by angry voters who want to know the truth. I'd gladly join in marches and protests demanding democracy be fulfilled.
Her first move should be to see if there are teeth to what we all suspect is election fraud. First step, have the vote counts be sample audited.
