Clinton Set a Record
« on: December 11, 2016, 03:46:51 PM »
$1.2 BILLION. The most money ever spent on a presidential campaign. Twice as much as Trump. If nothing else, a good lesson on how they each handle other people's money.

I thought she said she wanted to get big money out of politics. Turns out, she spent big money to get herself out of politics.

Win.   :rofl:

One of the funniest I heard (credit unavailable) is she spent decades and millions to become President and lost to someone who started out in politics just as a hobby only a year ago.

It's not like it's the first time. Last time she lost to an relative political novice whose only talent was reading what was on the screen in front of him well.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Well, I guess the Russians were behind that, too.

I wonder how many of her "supporters" are demanding refunds...
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

I did see where a bunch of her millionaire donors were pissed off that they weren't invited to her "thank you donors" party because apparently the venue was only large enough to hold the billionaire donors.

Didn't she also set a record for first candidate failing to give a concession speech?

I believe she gave her "concession" speech in her private quarters, and it wasn't printable.

Keep scrolling down the page for one after another bonehead move by the Clinton campaign (aside from picking a terrible candidate). That was how they spent twice as much as the Republicans.

I was a bit confused earlier.  Some of the article images didn't show up when I was looking at this at work.  I was trying to figure out why I didn't see this list of stuff.  Good list.
