VIDEO: The Young Turks Election Meltdown 2016 Nov 13, 2016
TYT’s actual election night coverage got 4.5 million viewers—a record for them—over a nearly 12-hour broadcast. These are the "highlights"
What I don’t like about it, however, is that vitriol: the nastiness and the dead certainty that those who voted for Trump were ignorant, racist morons. (I shared the sick feeling of loss, but never the rage.) That misses the underlying dynamic that drove this election: whatever it was, it was more than a bunch of idiots and racists—KKK supporters some said—who simply wanted a President who shared their bigotry.... What bothers me is the kind of smug, dismissive attitude toward our opponents that will hinder us Leftists from regrouping and having substantial political power. For if we get that power, we must appeal to a wider audience and, if we can’t share some of the values of our opponents, at least find some common ground with them and concentrate on the problems of all the dispossessed, disadvantaged, and deprived....
2:09 Aida Rodriguez says that people don’t like Hillary Clinton simply “because she has a vagina”. (Repeats this claim at 13:41, saying that Clinton lost “because she was a woman”).
8:59 Cenk Uygur has a tantrum about the Democratic Party: he says he’s at “war” with it for allowing Clinton to be defeated by a bigot. (Wasn’t he in favor of Hillary?) Later he calls them “f------- morons.”
14:53: Ana Kasparian says that women who voted for Trump are “f------ dumb”, and says, “I’m losing my mind tonight because of how stupid the majority of the country is.”
19:20: Aida Rodriguez calls the people criticizing her on Twitter “m------f-----s” and gives the camera two middle fingers
19:33: Ana Kasparian addresses those whom (she thinks) voted for Trump because they don’t like affirmative action. She says, “Affirmative action is not the reason you failed in life. You failed in life because you f------ suck! Because you’re a loser!”
23:08: The team turns on Hillary, starts blaming her for the loss. "Not every Trump supporter is a racist, but every racist is a Trump supporter"

VIDEO: HALL OF THE TRUMPEN KING Election Night Classic Apr 9, 2017
Just three days after Donald Trump announced his candidacy for president in June of last year, conservative columnist Ann Coulter suggested on “Real Time with Bill Maher” that he had the best shot at the GOP nomination, meeting with thunderous laughter from the studio audience. Of course, now it appears she was right.
“Of the declared ones, right now, Donald Trump,” Coulter said when asked which GOP candidate had the best chance of winning the nomination.
Roundtable guests Rep. Luis Gutiérrez, Joy Reid and Matt Lewis looked shocked at her answer and the crowd erupted in guffaws....Conservative pundit and author Coulter was mocked again, later in the segment, for suggesting that Bernie Sanders would make a better Democratic candidate than Hillary Clinton. Keep in mind, this was nearly a year ago, when Clinton was viewed as an unstoppable force and long before Sanders gained the support that has kept him in the race to this day. Many Democratic voters now agree with Coulter’s theory....

VIDEO: Why didn't Clinton concede in front of supporters Nov 9, 2016 CBS News
Hillary Clinton's campaign chair told supporters at her campaign headquarters the race was too close to call, but not long after, Donald Trump said Clinton called her to concede. Why the mixed messages? CBSN's political panel discusses.
"She has always been with you!" - John Podesta, giving Hillary Clinton's concession for her in front of all her supporters.

"Talk about how historically pathetic the Democratic Party is, that they let this guy, who has never had any success in business, he's has a track record of monumental failure, and they let him win the Presidency and become the most powerful man.... The Democratic Party is gone. But I'm at war with the Democratic Party! This corporatist weak spineless pathetic Party that....handed power to a raging, not just bigot, but an incompetent! I'm done with those losers....I don't care what the donors want!....(Hours Later) ....Hey look man, you gotta give us power man, because without money, you don't have power, let's keep it real...." - Cenk Uygur, Election Night 2016
"I have no respect for women who voted for Trump...I think so poorly of them.... I don't think you are a single issue voter. I just think you are dumb....That I started playing mind games on myself as well...these are the racists that don't want to take personal responsibility for their failures in life...they aren't going to vote for Democrats...." - Ana Kasparian, Election Night 2016
"The left think they are right, and not merely that, they think they are better people" - Peter Hitchens
No one was entitled to victory in the 2016 general election. It was not preordained. Hillary Clinton did not have some kind of Asgardian feudal birthright to ascend to POTUS. Something I want to highlight is that Hillary Clinton is NOT a victim. But she and many of her supporters have gone to great lengths to present her as such to the American public. No one made her marry a man who was accused of multiple rapes. No one forced her to laugh at a rape victim in Kathy Shelton, defend the rapist legally, and then get caught on tape doing it. No one forced her to actions/inaction/statements/positions on Benghazi. No one made her call so many every day working class people as "deplorables" No one made her conspire with Debbie Wasserman Schultz to steal the 2016 primaries from Bernie Sanders and have WikiLeaks break that wide open. No one made her ignore the constant pleas not to have a private email server. No one made her nor Bill Clinton turn their White House run into a relentless grifting enterprise for personal wealth. No one forced her to abandon practical campaign strategy in several states.
The 2016 election loss of Hillary Clinton is proof of life that "woke" is not a practical tenable ideology on which to base a functioning society. If we live in a world where power is distributed and weaponized based on victim-hood, this only encourages every last single American to wage all out war amongst each other over even the tiniest of their irreconcilable hurt feelings.
The Democratic Party cannot attain power and hold power without the support and votes of every day working class people. Those average day to day Americans feel more and more disconnected from the belief that woke Team Blue elitists and Limousine Liberals are going to do anything more than bend the knee to their corporate big donor overlords.
What do you generally think about Election Night in 2016?
What did the people around you say and what was their reaction in the few days and weeks that followed Election Night in 2016?
How did you feel about those responses? Did you agree with those responses?
Do you believe the left and Team Blue felt entitled to a 2016 POTUS victory?
Where do you think Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign went wrong?
How do you feel about Hillary Clinton refusing to address her supporters in concession and instead sending out notorious dark money bagman John Podesta to do it for her?
How do you feel about The Young Turks response to Trump's stunning 2016 victory?
Is Peter Hitchens right? Does the radical left despise everyone who disagrees with their ideology?
Is Peter Hitchens correct? Does the left think they are just plain better people?
I'll leave this here for others to discuss.
