Hillary clinton has leveled criticism at the target she blames for the donald trump victory, including russia, james comey, unfair media coverage, sexism, and james novak, a commentary writer for cnbc agrees, saying that hillary is right, her bad decisions are not why she lost to trump and the donald trump may not be very persuasive either for millions of americans but he is a lot more persuasive than Hillary Clinton which is why those who think Hillary Clinton should run again for National Office are fooling themselves. As long as the system is about voting for people, personality will always dominate the decisionmaking process and the matter what decisions Hillary Clinton makes or does not make, she will always have the personality of a perpetual political loser. Lets listen to what Hillary Clinton said earlier this week. Said i clinton i never was a perfect candidate or a Perfect Campaign but i do not know who is or did. At some point, it believes over into misogyny. Lets be honest. [applause] people who have a set of expectations about who should be president and what a president looks like. They will be much more skeptical and critical of somebody who does not look like and talk like an sound like everybody else who has been president. President obama broke that veryl barrier but he is a attractive, goodlooking man. He is likable enough. Hillary clinton more than. The campaign look, or the things we couldve done differently, we couldve said that about any campaign. Host james is calling from seattle, washington on the democratic line. Is it a good thing for Hillary Clinton to be the public face of the Democratic Party right now . Like hillaryl clinton done her own self a bad deal along with the russian investigation. There is no middle. She did not secure or base come all politics are local. She did not secure her base, all a lot of text all politics are local. A lot of the districts are hispanic, two thirds of all the hispanics in the United States are in texas and california. What they were doing, she said she was going to break in the moderate republicans come all that was a con. He took the southern strategy nationwide and one. And hillary with these mild politics, she used the word afterllable deplorable donald trump had been talking about blacks, hispanics, disabled kids and she apologized with the word deplorable. Her campaign was not nasty enough. She should have went back on donald trump, she should of came out on stage and say will you grab a womans privates. This is what the American People want, somebody who will fight for us and go down in the foxhole. Host raymond calling from des moines, iowa. What should Hillary Clintons next role be . We lost him, mike, houston, texas, republican line. Hillary she has to look for younger i hate to say it i am elderly younger people who can bring ideas that will pull the independence because both the republicans and the democrats are already fixed. The democrats believed in the United Nations and a global type deal on the republicans are wait a minute usa. It is the independents you have to convince. She needs to start training younger people that will be a little more levelheaded about politics. You cannot promise to give away our wealth to the world. I would not apologize for being successful. Other countries want to be successful, do like we do, freedom. Host jerry from detroit, michigan, democratic line. Caller good morning and greetings from motown. Host what is your view . Caller i think that secretary clinton should continue to be a voice. Just because she lost does not mean she has to disappear from the scene, never to be seen or heard from again. I think she needs to be a voice, to speak out, not only against donald trump, but also the angry bunkers whorchie support him. My beef is not so much with donald trump himself but like what i just bunkers said, the or white callers who i call archie bunkers of the Republican Party. She needs to be against what i think are the draconian policies of this administration, especially of this what i think is an antiblack Justice Department headed by an antiblack attorney general, appointed by an antiblack president. She needs to become more on things like reproductive rights, gun control, and especially the biggest of them all, i do not think any White Conservative supports the civil rights. Host what do you think about the view for some democrats that it is not good for the party to have Hillary Clinton continued the themes from the election eight months after the election . Caller i have to disagree with some of them. There needs to be a voice. Some voice within the liberal movement and the Democratic Party to speak out. Because i think that this arrogant, thinskinned president is running roughshod over everything. Ild like you know have been listening the last couple of months with regard to several white callers, specially , a white woman from nevada who called a few months back. On the washington journal that aired on january 16 during Martin Luther kings birthday. She claimed that she did not like being called things like racist or homophobic. To several of those older white callers, including another one from north dakota named james, i remember him. If they do not like being called things like deplorable that Hillary Clinton points out, how come some of them think like racists and sexists and homophobes, if they do not want to be called that . Very plain and simple. Host we have to move on to other callers. To this point, Charles Pierce writing for esquire says that right now as far as i can see, Hillary Rodham clinton is the only one completely free to hammer away at the extraordinary event that conspired to put donald trump in the white house and as the investigation could accelerates the country need somebody outside of the congress and the department of justice to keep the country focused on the real costs of having of a blighted by the clinton while the election was hijacked, may as well be her. Host independent line, good morning, paul. Caller good morning, i love cspan. Host thank you. ,aller i want to continuously the only place that gets at the heart of every issue facing this nation and the world. I want to say this mrs. Clinton has exhausted her. Sefulness in american politics she needs to take her 250 million and move on. To has indicated she wants be part of the resistance against the right and donald trump and in favor of what i guess would be called president. Bamas universal globalism donald trump threw a wrench into the liberal movement and slowed it down. That does not mean it will stop forever. The majority of the people wanted to hear this and wanted this and other central government, the left liberalism stopped. They wanted a more balanced representative in washington. We have gone from extreme left to extreme right. I think therein lies the danger to america. Host a comment on facebook, Carol Ann Parker right, fadeaway, enjoy your grandchildren, write, teach, lecture, but stay out of politics and do not continue to groom chelsea were political political more dynasties, we need progressive pot was to take over the dnc and hillary is part of the regard Company Party will either transform or continue to lose elections in the future. Mike is on the republican line in florida. Big casesu have two in the media, one of the two interviews when hillary unveiled herself, a lot of the media supported her greatly and lapped up everything sheinterviews whed said. Republicans want to keep her out there because you saw a lot of the politically savvy people like al franken and he may be a comedian but he knows what he is doing because he had a lot of support in the district. Several other, like you saw, several of the even one of the biggest, andrea mitchell, msnbc reporter made fun of her. They know she should get out of the way as she is just repeating what a lot of liberals are already saying, nothing new, just supporting herself. She is a great target for republicans to make fun of her and draw a lot of the people in the middle. She is a target to have people who werent paying attention, look at that, some of the interesting. It illustrates what liberals do not want, a lot of their problems. Yes, hillary, sing your own praises, that is great. Cspan, i am a retired navy guy and then had listening to you for a decade, your morning show is great and you are one i have never seen before but look like a regular talk show guys, you are great, thank you. Host linda calling from mississippi on the democratic line. Caller how are you doing . Host all right, thanks. Caller thank you for taking my call. Ive heard a lot of people try to put hillary down. And should old news go back and take care of her grandchildren. What about the senators an old man in the white house now. Why doesnt he take europes children take care of his children . She was a very qualified women, new the issues inside and out, it is misogyny, most the men do not think women are smart enough to run this country. They would rather vote for a fool who knows nothing about nothing. It is amazing, the republicans will try to put her down and put up their shiny new object that knows nothing. One, we would not be in the mess we are in now, we to cover up what donald trump says, someone has to explain what he should have said, what they thought he was saying, like to cover covfefe. Instead of him saying i made a mistake, it was a typo, it is the coverup. The coverup will bring his behind down. Jim says, what i hear is blaming everyone except the one who caused the loss. I imagine he thinks Hillary Clinton is responsible for her own loss. San diego, california, janice on the line on the independent line. Good morning. Caller i have a lot of respect for hillary, she is a tough fighter. For the sake of this country, she should get out of politics. I tell you why. She made available 15,000 topsecret u. S. Records to any potential enemy of the United States. Sectorwas in the private and made 15,000 you males, she would be fired. She should be banned for life from any government position. Everybody should be responsible for his negligence, even hillary. Thank you. Calling fromis blood city, tennessee on the democratic line. City, tennessee, on the democrat line. Caller thank you. I did not say hillary could have one at all. Time say that, the first james comey came on, the second time is the straw that broke the camels back. She may not have won but she would have come closer to winning. People, this man is a disgrace. A disgrace to the human race. Host what do you think Hillary Clinton should do next, either for the party . Caller it would be a good idea for her to stay in, why not . Because she lost . It does not make one bit of sense to me, why shouldnt she stay in and go ahead with the party . That dont make any sense, she is an honorable person, what other no matter what other people may think. Host he mentioned the james comey letter, this is from the website 538, the james comey letter probably cost Hillary Clinton the election looking at polling data before and after, writing Hillary Clinton would probably be president if james comey has not sent a letter to congress on october 28, it said the fbi had learned of the existence of emails that appear to be president of the investigation of the private server she used as secretary of state, pending the new cycle and soon had clintons lead in the polls, and hurling her position in the electoral college. Georgia, independent line, to morris tavaris. Caller good morning, i saw you on msnbc the other night. I guess you are moving up the ladder. A point i want to make about cspan, how much i love cspan, you guys are National Treasure and you educate so many people. My only issue is that the callers will try to address the subject matter in which you guys set out. Speaking of that, in my personal opinion, hillary she gave her best. She get he went against barack obama and lost, with against donald trump and lost, i agree with carol lam and the Facebook Post, she may need to gently fade into obscurity. Wed the American People do not want that. We, the American People, do not want that. She put up a lackluster candidacy and he blew her out of the water. Lets see what donald trump does. Mpster has given the American People what they want and we have to see what the results are. Thank you, keep up the great work and please, callers, educate ourselves and be better. Host san antonio, texas, david on the republican line. Caller hello, how are you doing . I have a lot Democrat Friends who agree that she should bow out and go by in the woods, via grandmother. , stay in hermother house and hope she does not go to the big house. Say al gore, he went away after he lost the election, grew a beard and came up with the movie Inconvenient Truth and dedicated himself with other issues and won a nobel these price, should she step a way for a while . Caller i do not think she is very wellliked among any republicans and a few democrats. I do not think she has any she has been way too crooked in her years. Should hope she does not have to go to the big house. Host we have Susan Collins from parksville, new york on the democratic line. Caller good morning, thank you for taking my call. I feel that hillary and barack obama and every democrat, and every person in this country needs to stand up and be heard. And talk about the issues. Talk about what this president is turning this country backwards. Care,e issues like Health Issues like the climate, tax reform, all of which many of your callers have said this laws, in past days, these when they get past, will not help trumps base and they do not understand it. Issues that will help his cronies and the wealthy. Not justying, democrats but republicans in Congress Need to stand up. Because someone has to see that the emperor is not wearing clothes. Host should Hillary Clinton be the one to point that out . Caller she certainly can be. I think we have to get a lot more voices saying, come on, already, lets wake up and see that this man should not be our president. Host at an event this week in new york, Hillary Clinton spoke about her treatment on the campaign trail and how she hopes to address that for other women who may want to run for office one day. Henry clinton not to say Hillary Clinton not to say that men do not get hard treatment when put in the spotlight but you are carrying the burden of a double standard and have to know that. Book, i take on the issues of sexism and misogyny. And talk about it. Because we need to put it in the bright light. It may be uncomfortable for some people to read how i experienced , buthat i believe about it i think that is a conversation we need to have. Candidate,ure woman i hope plan still around, my great privilege i hope imy best am still around, my great privilege to give you my best advice but everybody has to find their own way. Host tennessee, independent her, anne, people give motives, what do you think she is trying to accomplish . Caller i do not think she is trying to accomplish anything, i have been watching bill clinton and Hillary Clinton since yale and she has not changed one bit since then. Me of ation, it reminds cartoon they shoot of Richard Nixon showed of Richard Nixon when he was richard the third on a horse and the caption was, my kingdom, my kingdom, my kingdom. That is what Hillary Clinton reminds me of. She will never go away. Yale,s her ambition since to get to the top. When she got to the top, it was not enough to be first lady and go away then. This proves to me she will never go away. Never. That is her ambition. Ast Hillary Clinton occupies space and public life, first lady, former senator, former secretary of state who ran for president twice, has she earned the right to speak publicly for as long as she wants on whatever topic she wants . Caller i do not, i think she needs to go away, we have had enough of her, 55 years of her. She needs to go i wait and so does bill, give someone else a chance. I say the same thing about john mccain, i could not believe he ran again, these old people who will not give young people a chance to come and run this country. It is a disgrace. The way people will not go away, they need to go away. Host kenneth calling from maryland, a republican. Caller good morning, sir. Host good morning. Caller i have a different opinion on things. I worked in the restaurant industry. What the democrats do not understand is that you are keeping my wages down. You are keeping me unemployed. I have been asked on a Job Interview if i speak spanish. Born i am an american citizen. I should not have to compete against people who are here illegally. When ito carry my id walk down the street, if i do not have it and i am stopped by an officer of the law, i can be detained and restrained. I do not think it is fair. A callings go to tin from georgia, democratic line. Caller good morning. First of all, the calle
