Hillary should definitely not use the media to stay on Trump's case for four years.

That would be an unusual thing for a presidential candidate to do. We certainly wouldn't want any candidates doing anything out of the ordinary. We need to keep things normal and respectful, just like things have been the whole last year.

Hillary should stand back and say nothing no matter what Trump does. Heaven knows that is what Trump would be doing if Hillary had won by the skin of her teeth but lost the popular vote by over two million votes. Hillary should be exactly the angel Trump would have been.

Like the eight years of GOP obstruction based on birtherism and outright racism?
Like the eight years of endless attempted repeals of the ACA while doing nothing to fix what is wrong with the ACA?

I agree, the Democrats should be just as respectful and helpful as the Republicans have been.

She gave it her all. She's made her contributions. In end, it wasn't enough. Not enough Democrats supported her. Her time has now passed. It is now time for the next generation to take the helm and make their mark. Let's see if they have what it takes on a consistent basis. From what I've seen the past couple midterm elections, I have my doubts.
The challenge is clear, will the next generation answer the bell?
We'll see.
