Do they not realize that the election went the way it did not merely because of the email leaks, but more fundamentally because these corrupt people did things the way they did, and then they chose to talk about that in a medium that at one point they considered secure and safe.  Didn't turn out to be, huh?

By late 2016, everything had changed.  Do her supporters actually believe that the only problem is the exposure of her, rather than her underlying behavior?

Does anyone actually believe Trump is anything but a bloviating gasbag who told the racist hordes in America what they wanted to hear? Does he even believe his own bullshit - does any politician? 

I see no reason to celebrate Trump, just as I would see no reason to celebrate Hillary.

Acting as if her corruption is anything special or particularly out of line is just a farce. Just like all of American politics.
