I mean that. I hope she has enjoyed her time away from serving an ungrateful nation of morons. She deserves that at the very least. I feel the same for President Obama and Carter as well, and their families. Being President, or serving the office of the President is no thankful task. It's draining and leaves one strained and tired. Our nation deserves better than this pig in the White House today, but in a way I am feeling gratitude that he is being raked over the coals....and it's going to get worse...a LOT worse...and I want him to be miserable each and every minute of his pathetic existence. He deserves no better, for I can't think of a more loathsome individual in our history than this disgrace of a coward that hides in his room with his tweeter in hand.

She has suffered enough. Had she rightfully been installed as our 45th President, the gop would have hounded her every single second of the day. They would be chasing conspiracies and still bawling about Benghazi and her fucking emails. They might even have kept power in the House...who knows. But certainly, it would be a terrible four years for her and her family.

The dreadful existence of this coward, thug, lying sack of shit is that he is going to drag the gop cowards in Congress out into the open, and show the whole world just how fucking corrupt and disgusting this "party of Lincoln" has truly devolved into today. It may have "republican" as it's name, but it is today, a party of lies, cowardice, hypocrisy and treason. Let them wear that tag for the next 50 years. We will always have 35% who don't care; but the other 65% had better stand up and make their voices heard, or this country is truly doomed as a prospering society. I hope we win. It ain't over till the fat lady sings....

The one other thing I would wish for her is that her name not go doen generation to generation as "Crooked Hillary." But I suppose thatwould require mass hypnosis, and of the unwilling at that.

"Crooked", "Lying", "Low Energy" -- all classic Trumpian attributes. He applies them to political adversaries with expectation of shifting the focus away from his own sordid past.

have gone down in history as criminal monsters that I truly fear this will happen to her. Her situation differs from that of all the other he has projectively nicknamed, for at least three reasons.
1. She was so vilified by Republicans for so many years that it started sticking a long time ago - when she was First Lady not of the US, but only of Arkansas. Sure, you and I and Zambero knew it was all false. Too many people who don't follow politics didn't.
2. Even mudslinging lasted so long, from way before Trump, and was so intense that it spread even to some progressives. Sure, she won the popular vote by over 2 million. It should have been by a much larger margin. Too many people sat out - not just Democrats, but independents/unaffiliateds who lean left. They may have no interest in perpetuating the slander, but they also have no interest in debunking it.
3. Sure, the epithet "crooked" may not stick. That doesn't matter if the content of the slander does.

What a remarkable post and all of it is spot on, especially the part about how this country didn't deserve someone as qualified as she is.

No wonder Drumpf and his followers are obessed with bashing her. It makes them crazy that she didn't crawl into a hole and go away, but is out there UNAPOLOGETICALLY, UNASHAMED, unafraid of being LOCKED UP (which will totally be happening any day now, Trump will show her who's boss!!), which means that she must be plotting to remove him... and take over the world...

It's sad; I think we are becoming a very humorless, dour society, unable to appreciate a brilliant person like Hillary Clinton. She would have been such a great president.

She is authentic, and her outlook and personality continue to defy the labels and stain that haters and opponents tried to tarnish her with.

I am so glad she refuses to "go away"!
