    Trump has been in office for how long now? How many wars has he gotten us into? How many had Obama? You know.. the man that "won" the Nobel "Peace" Prize... Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Somalia and Pakistan...all countries that Obama bombed. Even Bush only got us into two wars.

    You know healthcare, the economy, stuff like that. The kitchen table issues and the dems aren't offering anything.

    I would say a bit of everything that you mentioned in 1-6.

    Some of it was due to sexists. Though I'm sure that was a VERY VERY small minority. There simply aren't that many sexists to make any difference really.

    Most definitely elitism her "basket of deplorables" is of course the prime example.

    Her message was simple "Trump = bad". While there were other parts to her message much of it was in contradiction to her past statements on those same issues. (gay marriage for example or putting down the women that accused Bill of rape).

    Her Personality ties into elitism so I won't rehash that.

    And over her career she simply had too many scandals in her history.

    And then you have the "other" such as being so sure that she would win that she didn't even bother to pay attention to the states that became the swing states even though everyone knew what those states would be in the last quarter of the election campaign. Trump didn't and won partly due to that. IE: She grew lazy. She thought for sure that since the MSM was largely in her corner that she didn't have to campaign like she should have. Hell, she even had Obama giving a wink wink nudge nudge towards illegal immigrants voting. Though many deny that is what he was talking about.

    And yes, I do believe that illegals vote...in large enough numbers to affect a national election outcome. I mean come on, they openly declare that they are in the US now. They use fake or stolen identities with no qualms. They even lie and cheat on taxes claiming far more children than they actually have or live with them. I see no reason to believe that they wouldn't vote since they know, EVERYONE knows, that citizenship is not checked for. Obama himself admitted that in his wink wink nudge nudge interview.

    Not sure who you're listening to, but from what I hear, the Dems are falling all over each other trying to offer more free **** than the others. S/he wouldn't get elected, but I'd like to hear just ONE Democrat say, "There's no such thing as 'free,' someone has to pay for this ****."
