Politico remarks: Hillary Needs to Move On [View all]

The Politico reporter - JoAnn Weiss - posting the story "Hillary Clinton Needs to Move On " acknowledges the hit parade is imminent, in today's article - in the questioning:


....Why is one of the most qualified leaders in the world continuing to let Trump define her, when she could be changing the subject?


Additionally....Weiss reflects:


It's tough to lose an election for student council, let alone for president. So it made sense that, after November 2016, Hillary Clinton would have spent some time wallowing in the past, howling at the universe with a side of Chardonnay. That’s the frame of mind she described in What Happened, her post-campaign memoir that came out in September, which was more of an angry play-by-play of how she was wronged than a clear-headed self-assessment of the race. Now, five months after the book came out, 15 months after the election, Clinton’s been spotted promoting family friend Lanny Davis’ new book, The Unmaking of the President 2016: How FBI Director James Comey Cost Hillary Clinton the Presidency.

We just passed Groundhog Day on the calendar, but it feels like we’re still living it; we can’t break free from the gnashing and rehashing of the 2016 election. It’s not just the Mueller probe and legitimate questions about Russian influence. It’s the emotional notes of triumph and defeat. President Donald Trump hasn’t dropped the subject, which is as perplexing as anything else Trump has done. But Clinton hasn’t dropped it, either. And at this point, she should.


Greg Palast has the facts on how Hillary not only lost despite her win of popular vote; but that the GOP blocked an additional 7 million votes.

Including game changers like Michigan, where Hillary lost by a few thousand; and 75000 black votes were refused.
