Hillary didn't win this election tonight

IMHO, It was a massive win for Wall Street, big banks, Pharmaceutical companies and Corporate America. They all have offices in NY and Wall Street is in NY. What do you expect? They knew what side of the bread their butter is on.



Just something to think about

Plus some pundit said, and I'm sure I heard this right, that 40% of those exit polled said they were afraid of a Trump presidency. The reason I say I'm sure I heard it right is that , though that is what the pundit said, it doesn't make any sense because Trump got more than 60% of the vote.

But can't look to Republicans for logic.

Those corporations can't vote. But 200,000+ more real people voted for Clinton tonight. You can chalk some up to being executives in those companies, but you can't chalk 200,000 up to that.

I don't think that the million people who voted for Hillary in New York state are all working on Wall Street, or working for big banks, pharmaceutical companies and corporations.
Lots of average American folks in small towns across the state voted for Hillaty Clinton. My 90 year old mother was one of them.

who best represents them. Did you think the same when Obama won? He's big bank and corporate America too. Oh yeah, that doesn't matter. I don't know why, but for some reason it's only NOT OK if Hillary does it.

It doesn't matter if she wins a state every other month, Bernie is going to the convention.
Because he's the better candidate for our party.
