The hope is that people who stayed at home will come out at midterms. Voters who decided there was no difference between Hillary and Trump, may feel differently when they are directly impacted by Trump.

Except Nixon won by a landslide. He would have never been impeached in today's world where hacking Podesta's email and stealing a Supreme Court seat and blocking blacks at the polls are considered great ideas or core party strategy. We're in a rough place.

In reply to Hillary is not "a failure",

We have to make Trump and the Republicans into Nixon. When people see his face, even his own supporters should see "crook". Every penny his corporation gains from his being president should be looked upon as money stolen from the American people. The markets are up, so businessmen are licking their chops. At the same time, Trump is about to curtail overtime pay. We have to show that Trump is laughing all the way to the bank.

Edit to add:

A large part of our problem is the worlds dumbest news media being located in the USA. Aside from submitting to a tongue lashing by Trump, CNN actually ran a chyron questioning if Jews were people. They did this as an anchor interviewing a white supremacist. The main stream media is normalizing anti-Semitism, racism, and bigotry.

Hillary is not "a failure", but she failed, and we failed.what we can do about it now is a huge question

The country elected a racist. White supremacists held a meeting in public in D.C. where they hailed their new champion. The media has not pressured Trump to condemn the increase in hate speech and hate crimes.In stead the media is called to Trump's throne to hear him say that he hates their guts. The media is not on our side, they are cowards.

Evangelicals support a man who has never read the Bible, is a misogynist and a sexual abuser. The church is not on our side. Trump voters look forward to the change he will bring to Washington, even as he plans to Abolish changes in overtime pay.

Hillary is not the problem. Hillary is not the failure, she got most of the popular vote. The threat comes from our fellow citizens who voted this evil man into office. Fascism is staring us in the face and we blame Hillary. Our fellow citizens are not willing to accept facts,they are willing to reject climate science. They will stand by if families are deported en masse in public. They will not speak out if Muslims are abused. They will remain silent as votes are suppressed and people lose health care. Hillary is not responsible for any of this. This is the personal responsibility of everyone who supports Trump. They are not redeemable.

Hillary got the majority of the popular vote. We need to work on encouraging folks who stayed at home to come out for the midterms. The deplorables are not going to admit that their vote for Trump was in error.

She failed to win the White House. Despite all the 1000 ponts of light consolation talk, that was the prize, that was *the* goal, that was the *starting point* for having serious effect on the nation and politics.

You're right.

You're right.

I briefly considered the sophistry of objecting to "failed" in

Hillary tried twice and failed

on the grounds that her 1.7 million (and counting) popular vote margin, surely was not a "failure."

Wrong.

Clearly she failed to achieve what she wanted to achieve . That's the correct metric.

A sad irony is we just about had unemployment down enough that it could start hitting inelastic demand, resulting in wage increases rather than just more McJobs or more skilled jobs but at bargain basement wages.

Well, scratch that plan.
