Please tell me you aren't going the way of a conspiracy theory. You're making assertions and you've got nothing to back them up. You're making them because you need reasons to explain why an election was lost (many races by the by) and yet you ignore all the reasons that we DO know.
Look, she won more votes. It's very hard to win after holding the office for 8 years. The rise of "fake news" hasn't helped.
But we've had 8 years of economic expansion. The auto industry was "saved". Interest rates are/have been a historic lows. Unemployment is around 4%. And the opposition was the most unpopular guy maybe ever to run for office. And they couldn't turn that into a victory. Ya think maybe we over looked something the last 8 years?

Agree. I have to wonder how many DUers consider themselves better off after the last eight years.

Anything is possible. But that's not what happened here. It was all hate.
