      Actually maybe.

      He probably thinks if she had won, he could have just acted angry and then not done all the 2020 election stuff. Could start his TV network or whatever?

        Well considering how he didn’t look happy at all when it was announced that he won, that wouldn’t be that surprising…

          I don’t think we’ll ever get confirmation of this but I will die on the hill of ‘he wanted to lose, that was his plan, but after he won he was trapped in his own lie’

    He’s probably too dumb to realize that Hillary is trending upwards in the news because they are talking about Hurricane Hillary, not his opponent in 2016.

    He has no personal desire to do anything against Hillary Clinton. If he did, he would’ve done so when he had the chance. He’s just waxing nostalgic to a time when he had a good campaign message.

      Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump actually did issue an order that Clinton be prosecuted. His attorney general refused because there was no credible reason to.

        Trump is not a convicted sex offender. Trump was found to be liable for sexual assault. A conviction is criminal and means a jury found that he was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt- he was not convicted. Instead a jury found that they think its more likely than not he was guilty. Basically- he wasn’t proven guilty, he was found to be probably guilty.

          Trump is not a convicted sex offender.

          Everyone knows what I mean dude. A jury of Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump’s peers found that he committed rape under modern definitions. Do you think that Pathological Liar Treason Trump cares about the subtle differences you bring up? What is important is to always remind people about it over and over because otherwise people will forget that particular rape because Accused Pedophile Treason Trump committed so many other crimes.

            They found he probably committed sexual assault, not that he is guilty of sexual assault. That is the difference.

              The issue isn’t with the facts, it’s with their relevancy.

              Also, they very clearly didn’t call anyone a pedophile. C’mon, if you’re gonna make an argument show some integrity and don’t intentionally misread what you’re responding to.

            No. The difference is a difference between being in a cell for 10 years and not.

              The joys of money lol.

              The dude bragged about sexual assault and checking out teen girls dressing rooms mic’d up lol.

              The difference in jail time is semantics for the rich.

                IIRC she never pressed charges within a reasonable time where significant evidence that proved beyond a reasonable doubt existed.

      when he had a good campaign message.

      This is a hitherto unencountered usage of the term “good”.

    There’s a name for this condition; when someone is overwhelmed by circumstances so they hyperfocus on the tiny details they can control.

    The motion is the entire message. They know they won’t win; they just need to be perceived doing something that right-wing media and FB groups can treat like Godot for the interim.

    Is Hilary on Cameo, a short vid of her yelling “Lock Him Up” would slap right about now.
