Only one finger to Trump, though. The other one they gave to Hillary. 

I&#039;m pretty sure that if Bernie Sanders had been allowed to stand on the ticket, many more would have voted and given both fingers to Trump.]]></description>

We&#039;re in full agreement here, Daphne. I suppose I wasn&#039;t clear enough because I forgot that you&#039;re reading lots of comments in random order and I took for granted what I had said before.

The ones with the top winning hand were the Democrats (not Hillary) with Bernie Sanders, who I discussed previously. The Democrats had it all laid out for them - the election could have been a widely-loved progressive grass-roots champion vs. a bumbling, bigoted buffoon - but, as I said in an earlier comment, they corruptly and underhandedly worked against Sanders to favour Hillary, their insider who as you rightly say is old stuff. 



That was the key mistake and it was made at the outset. The people then resented having Hillary pushed into their face and, rightly or wrongly, they rebelled. Many of the votes the Dems got were reluctant keep-Trump-out votes and it didn&#039;t have to be like that.]]></description>

I see. My apologies to Jozef, then, for not being as kind and gentle as he was when he hurled his flattering remarks.



The world is full of it. There&#039;s not much space for anything else.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hillary Clinton did not have a &quot;top winning hand&quot;. That is your mistake, the false premise on which you base your argument. Clinton had a doomed losing hand: the Democrats had been in power for two terms already and the likelihood that people would bring the Democrats back in for a third term was small at the outset; she herself was a &#039;boring old face&#039; who people had seen in politics for almost 30 years and, worse, she had been in the White House already for two terms as First Lady and for another term as Secretary of State under Obama; her husband had already been President for two terms and there were clearly going to be issues among the electorate with the dynastic connotations.

And yet, she got more votes than Trump.]]></description>
