At least a lot of Democrats are distancing themselves from this divisive speech Clinton gave in India recently:
Fingers crossed we can find some good candidates who stop the name calling and get us working together on our problems.

And this is why I didn’t vote for her either.
It was a no-win situation
And the very first time that I sat an election out.
🙁
I did vote, against Trump. The choice was pathetic. 🙁
like Cindi says. she wouldn’t have been any better.
the ‘truth factor’ for each of the candidates just wasn’t/isn’t even there.
and what is she doing… still name calling? and what is he doing?
we need help. it’s past ridiculous now. it’s moved into unbelievable.
As Trump would say, SAD! He was elected to stir things up, and he is doing that. The idea of draining the swamp, though….
Declaring my hand before I continue: I have always been partial to Hillary Clinton, as indeed I was to her president husband. Not necessarily agreeing on details of their politics but her ATTITUDE. I love “can do”. And, what she said (and I have watched your clip and followed up the link you give) is spot on. Sure, it makes uncomfortable listening and reading, and yes, sure I agree with one of her critics who isn’t happy with generalizing about demographics by geography, but politicians do have to have convictions. By definition a politician (as long as we have parties which divide us) can’t be all things to all people. It’s impossible. Not even desirable. Opposition aka challenging status quo is necessary.
Hillary Clinton having “lost” (ha, she didn’t) that election was one hell of a loss to both the United States of America and the world. Now she has more freedom than ever to say it how she sees anything – more power to her! may she be listened to. Whether you agree with her or not.
U
Yep, DPLDT.
I hope that you don’t mind me not commenting except to say that she should not have done this in a foreign country.
Why not? It looks as if there was a big audience and presumably she made a bundle on the speech.
What baffles me is how Hillary Clinton could win almost 3 million more votes than Donald Trump but lose the Presidency because of the vagaries of the electoral college. Which as I understand it was originally formed to protect the interests of Southern slave-owners. Democracy seems to have been trampled on.
And I think Hillary was spot on saying that Trump is taking the country backwards.
No, our founders were expressly trying to avoid a democracy. They didn’t trust the masses and created a republic so the educated and enlightened elite could run the country.
all seems topsy turvy to me…
That’s exactly what it is. Trump was elected to tear things down. He’s off to a good start with that.
Let’s see… where was she a state’s First Lady? Gee, right smack dab in the middle of all that red.
My first exposure to her and her president husband came when they were in the governor’s mansion in Arkansas. Naively, I always gave them the benefit of the doubt all the way through her hubby’s second campaign.
I’ve never voted for her, though. It’s not because she’s a woman. After almost 38 years of Bill and Hillary, in one way or another, I just don’t trust her; she doesn’t get my benefit of the doubt any more. If it came down to a vote between Hillary and Donald in 2020 — it won’t –, I wouldn’t vote for either.
It is time for a woman president, just not Hil! — and not just because she is a woman. Whoever she is, her abilities, policies, and background matter, too.
I don’t trust her either, and I don’t think she has a chance of being the nominee in 2020. Too many people think that she’s the reason Trump got elected. I think Joe Biden would probably have won if he ran, and if he could have gotten the nomination over Hillary. His working class background could have really changed things. (My background is working class too.)
