    Hillary might make another go at it

    She’s a smart woman, surely she must have realized by now that nobody likes her

      Ehhh, I’d have thought she had realized that the first go around, however, she actually did win the popular vote against Trump in 2016 (Hillary: 65,853,625 votes (48.0%) vs Trump: 62,985,106 votes (45.9%)), so it’s entirely plausible that she doesn’t realize that.

        I’m assuming you mean when she lost the primary to Barack Obama in 2008. It’s hard to argue that it was proof that she was unpopular when Obama went on to win the general election by such a huge margin, and even his reelection by a comfortable margin. It just serves as proof that Obama was extremely popular, moreso than her.

        2016, OTOH, showed that the people (through a skewed system) preferred Trump to her. That’s a hard reality to dismiss.
