        EXACTLY SPOT ON. They fail miserably to recognize a worthy opponent. Instead they pretend they're winning.

        Which is a pity since I actually espouse some of the Left's ideals, but not with these kooks at the helm.

        Don't give the popular vote thing. No shit! It's all from NYC, NE, LA area and So FLA. That's it. The ENTIRE rest of the country is fed up!

        Progressivism always "wins" in the long run...quelle surprise, people like to be able to eat cheesecake and not get fat.

        That doesn't make it morally right or wrong though. But bully by numbers if you must, Steve-O. Not Hitleresque at all.

        HRC won <50% of overall vote, <50% in 36/50 states, lost 30 States & 84% of counties. I draw different conclusions from you

        If by "liberal" you mean 'stupid' and 'regressive' and 'authoritarian', yes then America is getting more liberal.
