Who Leads the List of The Biggest Losers of 2016?

Despite what the Left tells our children, there are winners and losers in life. Everybody doesn't get a trophy. Such is the case in 2016, as there are clear winners and losers. We chronicled those we believe to be the Biggest Losers of 2016. There is clearly one name who sits atop The Biggest Loser of 2016 list, and that name is: Hillary Rodham Clinton Hillary Clinton had it all. She had a president who needed her to win, and thus made his administration available to her. Hillary Clinton had the help of a crooked DNC who conspired against her opponents. Further, Clinton had the ever ready media industrial complex at her disposal. Hollywood chimed in where needed, and of course Clinton had the useful idiots who normally vote for Leftists. All she needed was the loser who would run against her. Hillary Clinton and team wanted Trump; they dreamed of running against Trump. Some would say they even orchestrated running against Trump. There is that saying, and I paraphrase, "Be careful what you cheat for!" Hillary Clinton got Trump, and boy did she get Trumped. All that said, it's difficult to call Clinton a loser, since she made millions of dollars from her crooked foundation and avoided jail. However, given that her criminal woes aren't over but her quest for world domination is, we were forced to make her a loser in 2016. Barack Obama Barack Obama bragged recently that if he had been running against Donald Trump, he would have won. It's fine to live in a hypothetical world and say things that you know can't be put to the test, but based on just a few facts he is way off. First, this election was a referendum on his very presidency. Hillary Clinton was his pick to carry on his legacy, but the American people rejected that legacy. Second, During the past 8 years under the infallible leadership of Obama, Democrats have lost over 900 state legislature seats, 12 governors, 69 House seats, 13 Senate seats. In the case of Obama "L" is not for legacy, but for LOSER. Liberalism Undoubtedly Liberalism took a big hit between the eyes. Though the radical agenda of the Left was stymied with each election cycle, the Left did receive a few wins. Two radical Leftists on the Supreme Court, appointed by Obama helped Democrats immensely. If Hillary Clinton had replaced Justice Antonin Scalia, the court would have tipped left for sure. Then there are the looming other appointments the next president would make, given the age of the justices. Issues like gun control, illegal immigration, and refugee resettlement would have continued down the path towards radical Leftism. Then there are domestic issues like tax reform, energy policies, and yes ObamaCare. Leftism took a fatal blow with the election of Donald Trump. Thus Liberalism lost big in 2016. Bernie Sanders The former mayor, 16-year veteran of the House of Representatives, two-term senator, and apparent political outsider makes the list. Ironically, Sanders shouldn't be on the list, given his newfound wealth, post-presidential run. But then there is the fact that he sold out. The 74-year-old presidential hopeful inspired millions of (ignorant) Millennials (not me, I'm sane) with his promise of free college. Of course the bill would be footed by the rich paying their "fair share." Sanders promised "ordinary Americans" that he would reform Wall Street. The political winds blew against Sanders as the Democrat establishment plotted his demise. At this point, Sanders was a winner and certain not to make this list. However, after Sanders was forced out by the establishment, he then endorsed the very political establishment who cheated him. Sanders proved to be all talk, as he cashed out to become part of the one percent. Sanders lost a big contingent of his fan base, who now see him for what he is: a political profiteer and a sellout. Maybe this places the "Bernie or Bust" contingent among the biggest losers? The Media The media and America finally came to an impasse, and the public struck. Thus, the media rightfully took a beating this year, and they had it coming. Going backwards from election night where the media had fitted Trump for his casket, the media malfeasance was unrelenting. They reported what they wanted us to believe, and we simply weren't buying it. The media had been on life-support for some time. However journalism died with the invention of Barack Obama, when the media stopped even pretending to be unbiased. Scandal after scandal went uncovered, as the media looked the other way. Gun running in Mexico, no story. Vets dying on waiting list, no tragedy there. Conservative groups targeted by the IRS; who cares. The economic news though dismal, was reported as a "recovery." Foreign policy snafus covered as "good in the long run." Lie after lie told by the media to cover for the most incompetent administration in American history. Thus, the media in 2016 was rendered useless. Though they continue to fight back claiming that alternative news is "fake news," the public is on to them, and they won't recover until they admit their misconduct. James Comey Once seen as a man of integrity and not beholden to a certain ideology, James Comey has had a fall from grace. Comey is now viewed as a political hack who couldn't decide if he wanted Hillary to be president or not. Consensus says he did. In July, Comey did not recommend charges against Hillary Clinton for her email use. However he rebuked Clinton, calling her "extremely careless" for what she did. While others have gone to prison for far less than what Clinton did, Comey decided not to prosecute. The Republicans didn't buy it, and neither did much of the public. After this debacle, 11 days before the election, Comey reopened the case against Hillary Clinton. This move angered the Democrats who then blamed Directory Comey for Clinton's ultimate loss to Trump. Comey became politically homeless, and his reputation shattered. Law Enforcement Under Obama, the law enforcement community has been brutalized. Obama set the stage for how he felt about the police with the Gates' incident, and it went downhill from there. Though Gates lit the fuse, Ferguson provided the TNT. The New York Times reports that 135 police officers died in the line of duty this year. Of those at least 64 law enforcement officers have been shot and killed this year, the most in five years, according to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. Worse yet, 21 of the officer were killed in ambush-style attacks. The 2016 shootings have spanned the nation, from California to Massachusetts. They've exceeded the annual average of police shooting deaths over the past 10 years, 53. And this year's total is higher than the number of firearms-related police deaths in 2015. According to the fund, firearms were responsible for 41 of 123 officer fatalities in 2015, one of the safest years for officers on record. The decade's highest total came in 2011, with 73 officers shot dead. Leftist Celebrities Here is a group of people who believe they have a lot more political clout than they actually do. Far too many in Hollywood and the entertainment industry in general believe that having the talent to sing or act means they are somehow politically astute, and influential. 2016 proved otherwise. At one point in Hillary Clinton's campaign she got Katy Perry to perform in order to prevent her typical anemic crowds. Barack Obama did the same, asking Jay-Z and Beyonce to perform at "Hail Mary" events in the battleground state of Ohio. Most people just said, "Thanks for the free concert!" Lena Dunham, Miley Cyrus, Demi Levato, Lebron James, and others stumped for Hillary, with no impact. Then there was the list of notables who promised to move out of the country if Trump became president. Guess what? They are all still here. So whose the real celebrity with clout? Donald Trump! Trump's defeat of Hillary Clinton was a defeat of the 'cool' people. America decided and celebrities are among The Biggest Losers of 2016. See also, The Biggest Winners of 2016.
