Hillary Clinton Tries to Take Credit for Democrat Victories

Last night was a good night for the Democrats.

Across the country, America’s premier liberal party scored a number of victories against their Republican opponents. Here are some of the more notable wins: Wilmot Collins became the first black mayor elected in Montana; Jenny Durkan became Seattle’s first lesbian mayor; Danica Roem became America’s first elected openly transgendered lawmaker, being elected to the Virginia House of Delegates.

These victors sure show the changing face of American politics.

As for purely political wins, the Democrats scored big in this area as well. In New Jersey, Phil Murphy defeated Republican Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno to become governor. In Maine, an Obamacare Medicaid expansion referendum passed overwhelmingly. And, most notably, in Virginia, Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam defeated moderate GOP candidate Ed Gillespie for the governorship.

Gillespie, despite trying to align himself with issues Trump supporters care about, couldn’t finish the job, despite a burst of momentum towards the end of the race. President Trump was quick to notice:

Trump wasn’t the only presidential candidate from the last cycle to weigh in the Democrats’ big night. Hillary Clinton, probably sitting in her recliner at home in Chappaqua swirling a glass of chardonnay, tried to get in on the victory as well. Here’s what she tweeted:

This is just sad. Hillary didn’t play a noticeable role in many of these races. Sure, she campaigned a bit in Virginia for Lt. Gov. Northam. But otherwise, she was a scarce presence.

It’s not hard to understand why. First of all, Hillary lost the presidential election to Donald Trump. Democrats already don’t trust her after that humiliating loss.

Second, the revelations from former Democratic National Committee chair Donna Brazile’s book have rocked the Democrat establishment. Brazile not only revealed that the Clinton campaign doomed the candidacy of Senator Bernie Sanders, but they also ran their entire operation into the ground.

Hillary wants so badly to be part of a winning team that she’ll pretend she played a significant role in these campaigns. She’s not ready to admit she’s damaged goods, and no intelligent Democrats wants anything to do with her.

If Republicans want to come back from this devastating loss, they’ll start getting things done in Congress, and stop supporting our president at arm’s length.

Share this story with others to show them how pathetic Hillary is!
