Clearly an unpopular sentiment as society can only remember a very small number of things at one time , but this is still a valid viewpoint . The Democrats had a candidate who would have won Bernie . But Clinton and her cronies felt it was her turn and forced the matter . Some of this does fall on her shoulders she knew the factors involved in her coronation , she knew it was crooked , we have proof she was chosen over him by the elite , and now here we are . Her numbers against Trump were never nearly as good as Bernie ' s , so let ' s not act surprised she just couldn ' t make it through the entire election cycle without repeatedly insulting part of her voter base . She truly thought everyone would just fall in line out of fear and she was wrong . They gambled and lost . Scrambling to say , But she won the popular vote is lame . I agree that the EC needs to go but let ' s be clear here she ' s political royalty , she ' s been around for forever . He ' s said some of the looniest things and yet even the popular vote didn ' t have that large of a gap . You might wonder why , between two unlikable people , Trump won when he ' s such a loon he was at least chosen by the people , for better or for worse . She wasn ' t . This election was about change and Trump presented it , even though it ' s proving to be a lie . Clinton never pretended she was going to be any different and was cocky about it . Bad , bad platform to be running on in this election and the people made it clear they weren ' t happy well in advance .
