I think Hillary's loss saved her life.

[tavernier]

Strangely, that was my first thought when the results were announced.

I do believe there would have been riots and bloodshed. They wore shirts calling for her death. She would have had a true bullseye on her for the next four years.

Life has twists and turns and this story has just begun, but at least now she will be physically safe.

1. I had the same thought

2. Supporters of the Racist-in-Chief were prepared to engage in an armed insurrection.

I have zero patience for their complaints about the thousands upon thousands of largely peaceful protesters marching in our streets following last week's disastrous results/

3. "She would have had a true bullseye on her for the next four years"

"They" may not have let her be sworn in.
Look how the FBI intervened.

4. Might want to make that , "the once respected" F.B.I.

Comey did his job well as I m sure he was bid to do. What a filthy wretch of a citizen of this country he turned out to be in using his power of office to influence an election affecting millions of people.. That will be his legacy.

5. I expect he will be well rewarded n/t

6. We needed Hillary to save our country

I'm sure she went into this with eyes wide open, willing to make any sacrifice for the country and The People she loves.

But yes, I have to agree her life would have been under constant threat more than any other president.

7. It may be better to let them destroy themselves

so they can't blame it on her/us. But I am very sad about how many people will be hurt by GOP policies - or even die when their healthcare is taken away or when emboldened bullies attack.

8. Or when the drive us into another Great Depression.

9. That was the republicans attitude

I heard one of the Krystal types saying that the next 4 years are going to be tough and might as well let Hillary deal with it. I was OK with that. Now it's their problem

[Demsrule86]

10. There is no silver lining

Hillary may yet be prosecuted. She could be the first presidential candidate to be imprisoned by her opponent in what is now the banana republic of America. We needed her to win.
