23. The Comey doth protest too much. He knows what he did but will never take responsibility.

My grudges burns strong and steady.

It took a tremendous amount of time and effort from all directions domestic and foreign, first election after new restrictive voting laws, to make her lose and then it was by only by one point or less in swing state because in that last week news flooded with hysterical front page (100 stories in five main papers I think it was) freak outs and dramatic lead stories on TV and Republicans spent at least 17 million on scary Crooked Hillary ads in swing states.

"Vox did an analysis of all my campaign events and found that I talked about jobs, workers, and the economy far more than anything else. As The Atlantic put it in a piece titled, 'The Dangerous Myth That Hillary Clinton Ignored the Working Class,' I ran on 'the most comprehensively progressive economic platform of any president in history' and talked about jobs in my convention speech more than Trump did in his ... .'"

My biggest hate-grudge is for those who STILL try to convince voters that Democrats ignore the working class, the economy, go around claiming Democrats only run on not being Trump or identity politics. And still try to slander Democrats as bribed by superPACs. Trump got a lot of small donor (majority?) money in 2016. That really stopped him from being corrupt, didn't it? The Democratic status quo is progress and Democrats are not corrupt.
