IRONY: Hillary Won Popular Vote Against Obama In 2008… Where Were The Protests Then?

The defeat of Hillary Clinton in spite of her getting the popular vote is nothing new, even though liberals opposed to a Trump presidency want you to believe this surprise overturn is unheard of.

In 2008, when Hillary Clinton ran against a political newcomer by the name of Barack Obama for the Democrat Primary nomination, Hillary won the popular vote with 17.8 million votes compared to Obama’s 17.5 million votes.

She garnered 48.04% of the vote, and the eventual 44thPresident of the United States received only 47.31% of the vote.

So why wasn’t Hillary the presumptive nominee for the Democrat Party? Hillary earned only 1,973 delegate votes compared to Obama’s 2,285, and the delegates determined the election results, much the way the electoral college determines who will be the next President of the United States.

Obama was chosen to be POTUS.
Hillary was not.

ENOUGH already. She's history, TRUMP is our future for change. Now if he fails, then we again move forward with the next in line.

Living and regurgitating Hilary this/that is not good. Poking fun is over with, time to move forward!

TRUMP 2016 and BEYOND!

If she wasn't good enough for the Democrats in 2008 what made anyone think she was good enough for the rest of us in 2016?
