Another one is that he knows that Hillary was robbed and the more he degrades her the less chance his people will support returning the presidency to Hillary, should it turn out that Russia did alter the voting tallies.

We now know that Trump expected to lose and undoubtedly knows that Hillary really won, so he constantly has to push that truth away. If he believed he won legitimately, he could just sit back and accept his victory. It is like he is haunted by the truth and tries to drown it out with constant loud denials.

This is the behavior of a very guilt ridden man.

I Turned it off after a couple of minutes

He was so overbearing.

But the point makes sense. Talking about Hillary keeps Trump from having to talk about policy, which he knows nothing about

I quit watching Morning Joe a long time ago. He is always talking over people, especially Mika. It is annoying and exhausting to watch.

Is he taking a jab at them and lumping all Scandinavian countries together, reinforcing a stereotype of Norway and Holland being a land of windmills and wooden clogs? Norway gets about 1% of their power from windmills but would Trump even know that?

It reminds me of the time he attacked Warren with the racial slur of Pocahontas in front of the American Indian code breakers. If there is one thing Trump knows it's how to insult people. It's like he finds something negative about a person, especially racial or sexual, and he can't help himself, he has got to say it in front of them. And he particularly likes insulting women.

"Hillary Clinton being the worst candidate ever?"

On the contrary, she was the most prepared candidate the USA has ever had. What a moronic thing to say.

I stopped there on the video, not sure if he retructed his statement afterwards, or if he was just mocking the man-child.

and neither indicates being a "good" or "the best" candidate.

better than trump? sure. won the popular vote? sure.

Clinton was the "mainstream" candidate in 2016. We usually have two mainstream candidates to choose from.

Her mainstream-ness has been reported as a negative in the election. Many people reported voting against hillary and not for trump in order to "shake things up." stupid? sure. reality? sure.

We'll never know if Sanders would have done better against trump than Clinton. We'll never know the "Russia effect" on Sanders (though probably the same). But Sanders was more of a "shake things up" kind of candidate and might not have had the same negatives Clinton had.
