It’s hard to say how well I would take it if I lost an election to Trump. I’d certainly be devastated, maybe even suicidal, when faced with the knowledge that Americans prefer Trump to me. It’s hard to imagine anything more humiliating for someone in her position. She is obviously psychologically “managing” it by dropping into a sort of self-defense “justification” mode. It’s not uncommon, although all it does is further tarnish her image.
I don’t get why people that hate Trump don’t hate her too.
Because:
-
She has respect for our political allies;
-
Despite her public image, she is able to make compromises with people in Congress to get things done;
-
She wouldn’t outright provoke North Korea nor drop MOABs on the Middle East;
-
She understands that humans are significantly contributing to climate change and that the Paris Agreement is an important step toward rectifying that;
-
She is not bigoted, sexist, nor willfully inflammatory outside of occasionally putting her foot in her mouth;
-
and she actually is genuinely qualified for the job.
She’s the reason he won. If the Democrats had run Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren then it would have been a sure Democrat victory.
Bernie, yes. Warren, I doubt it. Elizabeth Warren was the one who accused female Bernie-supporters during the primaries of betrayal to the cause of feminism for not backing Hillary. She’s not really super popular among the mainstream.
