    ok, but she won the popular vote and she blew Trump away in the minority vote.

    Yes, I always look to the "Washington Examiner" for a fair and impartial analysis of the sayings and doings of Hillary Clinton.

    Of course she was being sarcastic. And I'm sure the men involved know her and know full well that she doesn't think that. And as to "if a conservative said that"
    (a) they WOULDN'T be joking, and
    (b) it would be a welcome relief from the all-out race war that Trump is stoking as he gets more and more unhinged the closer Nov. 6 gets.

    wonder if gerrymandering or voter suppression played a part in that? Look at what the republicans have been doing this year and this is just a midterm. The fact remains that Clinton had 89% of the black vote and trump had a measly 8%. It's pretty glaring and obvious who black voters preferred and it really isn't debatable

    You think MAYBE that has something to do with the MASSIVE VOTER SUPPRESSION EFFORT the GOP has been ramping up since about 2010? I'd like to see a comparison in minority "voter turnout" in states that have instituted voter ID and purged rolls, versus states controlled by Democrats.

    I don't get the "even" here.

    Actually Bill Clinton got 83% of the black vote in 1992 and 84% in 1996.

    Voter suppression has happened for decades. It happened during the Obama campaign and her still turned out a record number of voters at 69 million. Clinton turned out a full 6 million less.

    It wasn't just voter suppression.

    And "even" means she can't "even" turn out as much as her husband did and she would've been the first woman president.

    What I have observed over many years and especially now in this day of "political correctness" it's not necessarily about what is said, but more about who said it.

    Oops. Maybe I'm thinking Obama numbers. I'm fully willing to be wrong there.

    Talking of the Washington Examiner - they have an interesting editorial take today:

    She's never running again. Now, let's turn our attention to Trump.

    Speaking of poverty, did you know that when I was a boy of about 9 we had dinner times with nothing to eat? I can't tell you how many dinner meals I had that consisted of cornbread and milk.
    Now, my wife insists that I eat whatever I want, be it lobster or prime rib or some sort of prime steak. This is because I bit the bullet and studied hard and became an engineer. Did I ever tell you that engineers rule? Yes, they do.
