I think it's the opposite actually. She can let loose a bit more.Much like Trump's victory speech. It's easy to be magnanimous in victory or defeat. Carefully chosen words after the fact.

He wouldn't have received his party's nomination four years ago. No chance.Yes he would have if he ran with the same agenda he just ran in this election. If the last opponent was not a Mormon, he would have won against Obama.
McCain had no chance because of the Bush presidency. Romney would have won if he was not a Mormon.MCCain and Romney were someone's.
Are you basing this on any evidence?McCain had no chance because of the Bush presidency. Romney would have won if he was not a Mormon.
I think Obama's full tenure has given rise to a lot of followers of Trump.Do you think that if Trump ran 4 years ago against Obama that he would have won?
Edit - genuine question, not making a smart remark!
Not a chance Trump defeats Romney, the Repubicans were not in the same mess they were in going into this campaign. Plus Obama would have destroyed Trump head to head.Do you think that if Trump ran 4 years ago against Obama that he would have won?

He's wrong. Evangelicals went with Romney regardless of his mormon background.Are you basing this on any evidence?
If the people vote to have him run for the presidency, how are they going to stop him from being nominated? Why did they not stop him this time with all the controversy?He wouldn't have received his party's nomination four years ago. No chance.
4 years ago was a different time, it is not safe to assume people voting today would have voted the same way 4 years ago. Things just don't work that way.If the people vote to have him run for the presidency, how are they going to stop him from being nominated? Why did they not stop him this time with all the controversy?
Yeah, it's not an argument I've ever heard before. Obama won because he could turn people out to vote.He's wrong. Evangelicals went with Romney regardless of his mormon background.
Just by talking to people who actually vote. Don't read any polls or anything, this election proved what the polls are.Are you basing this on any evidence?
I just meant that it's standard politician talk, nothing new there. Congratulate your opponent, thank your base, vow to keep on fighting if you lost or vow to deliver if you won.I think it's the opposite actually. She can let loose a bit more.
They voted for Trump?That bit on BBC just now was unintentionally great.

About the same as United winning the Ryder Cup.What are the odds, that she gets/takes a position in the Trump administration?
you can say that againTo Americans, Is it possible that Hillary took this lightly thinking there isn't a chance of trump winning? It did seem like it in the debate when she didn't really go full throttle on his issues.
Yeah. Agreed. Plus they don't write their own speeches anyway. All they have to do is read words someone else has written off an autocue.I just meant that it's standard politician talk, nothing new there. Congratulate your opponent, thank your base, vow to keep on fighting if you lost or vow to deliver if you won.
Every election I've seen around here is the same, losers always look nice when they say "I already called the winner to congratulate". Winners look nice by saying they will be the President/Prime Minister of everyone, including the ones that voted against them.
It's the circumstances that make their speeches look good, plus the fact that there is nothing to gain or lose anymore. Rarely you'll see the defeated spewing sore loser bile, or the winner acting arrogantly. Western politics, is all. Don't see what was so great about her speech.
She seems stronger than I expected tbh. 'You don't get always what you want' is gonna be the hallmark of her political career. But she is just achieved much more than that though. She is having a terrible experience right now and I'm really sorry for her.Either she has been crying or she has been hitting that medical MJ hard. I recognize those watery eyes, got them myself right now.
They will probably be the ones who moan the loudest.Tweet

At the end of the day - People did not go out and vote. They were turned off the election
I'm not American but I really doubt that. Too much at stake to take anything lightly. It's just that sometimes it's probably hard to gauge what will be best. She may have not gone full throttle on his issues because she (her campaign, who more likely advise them on these things) thought it would be counter-productive. Do you win more votes by taking the higher ground, or by getting into the cheap shot battle? It's probably these questions that are hard to answer and that end up screwing them in the end. Trump made the right bets and made fools of everyone else.To Americans, Is it possible that Hillary took this lightly thinking there isn't a chance of trump winning? It did seem like it in the debate when she didn't really go full throttle on his issues.
Apparently.They voted for Trump?
No way. With black voter turnout like he had, even Hillary would have stomped Trump. She was the onl candidate he could win against. Bernie would probably have crushed him since he ran on an anti establishment platform as well.Yes he would have if he ran with the same agenda he just ran in this election. If the last opponent was not a Mormon, he would have won against Obama.
What?What are the odds, that she gets/takes a position in the Trump administration?
Seems like he could be in for a nasty surprise regarding the supreme court.Apparently.
Guy went on to ramble about insane shit once he remembered he was supposed to talk.
Don't think you could ever describe Lincoln as a white supremacist.No, it's one of the ones who's name you wouldn't recognize as a former president unless you're a nerd
He got asked about that and said:Seems like he could be in for a nasty surprise regarding the supreme court.
I doubt that. He was a campaign operative.It just occurred to me that, Steve Bannon will be one of the people running government.
STEVE FECKING BANNON!
You guys did not try.
I give up on trying to understand voters.Apparently.
