    The ongoing republican obsession with Hillary Clinton.

    Let's be real here - Hillary has not been relevant for almost 2 years now. Yet people on the right still deflect to her constantly.

    There's 2 reasons I speculate this happens

    1. The right needs a boogeyman type figure to demonize and Rally against. Prior to 2015 this was Obama, and demonizing Obama did win them elections, and I guess it made sense in 2016. But now that she isn't in public office and won't be running again, it makes no sense. They should find someone else actually relevant to rally their people against. And no, she is not running again in 2020, that is nothing but a conservative wet dream because they know it'll be another easy win for trump

    2. They're projecting. Since most of the right hails Trump as an infallible God like figure, perhaps they figure that the left feels the same way about Hillary. This couldn't be less true, most of us on the left, especially those of us far to the left, hate Hillary Clinton. Not only was she a garbage candidate, she lost what should have been an unloseable election. Her popularity among Democrats was never very high but its gone even lower since the election.

    If Hillary would stop campaigning maybe, just maybe, Republicans would forget about her.

    She can't help it, the Shadow Government has a weekly election to figure out its shadow president.

    This seems like a redundant thread. You may as well just talk about it in the threads that those Republicans and "woke independents" like to make on her.

    She is irrelevant, you alt-right nazis sure love bringing her up constantly.

    That’s the most bizarre part... the hate of US government, while supporting Trump. One day, the voice of the people will be heard and we will defeat the establishment... by electing Donald Trump as president! The true working class hero! Like Trump would say... The establishment is as likely to let someone like Trump win, as Crimea being taken by Russia. Never going to happen...

    It is honestly a bit weird to look at. I mean, Mitt Romney and John McCain wasn't treated in the same way after their loss to Obama were they?

    Romney and McCain also didn't go on 2+ year campaigns and book tours trying to explain that they didn't just suck as candidates but rather that its those evil racist misogynist white guys that made them lose.

    "Anger towards those not in power" is just called "being a Republican voter" these days- see: Hillary Clinton, lazy poor people, illegal immigrants, Muslims, LGBT, etc.

    1) it hasn't been 2+ years.
    2) They both stayed in the limelight even more than Hillary, McCain ran for senate again and now Romney is running (Hard Call By John McCain both of them also had speaking tours as well)

    Last but not least what was missing is that they didn't have an entire media dedicated to them because secretly they are hoping they run again. Let's face it as much as republicans say they hate Hillary they have a shrine in their homes hoping she runs again because she was the only candidate as hated as Trump.

    She's making herself relevant again so you're entire thread is bunk. Her and Bill just flew coach so they can be "regular Americans." PR stunt.
