Bill Clinton: I’m Not Surprised Trump Won the Election


In a recent interview with (the failing) MSNBC, Bill Clinton admitted that he was “not surprised” that President Trump won the election.

In fact, he “had the feeling all along” that all the swing states would go for Trump and make him the victor.

Watch this clip from Bill Clinton’s interview here for yourself:

From The Washington Examiner:

Former President Bill Clinton claimed he “had a feeling” that all the swing states would swing in unison this past election cycle.

Almost three weeks have passed since President-elect Donald Trump swept the votes from Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, and North Carolina. Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris garnered fewer votes in every swing state than her predecessor, President Joe Biden…

“Donald Trump is now president-elect. Is his election a rejection of the benefits of inclusive, economic, and social policies? A rejection of preserving democracy, do you think?” Jonathan Capehart asked on his MSNBC program.

“Oh, by some, but only a small percentage,” Clinton responded. “But we didn’t have enough supporters who thought inclusive societies, inclusive capitalism, inclusive governments was more important than divisive governments or more important than other things they cared about to prevail. So we have to just keep fighting.”

“I can’t say I was surprised,” he added. “I had the feeling all along that at the end this thing might break one way or the other, and all the so-called swing states would vote together because the last 2% or 3%, 4% were actually pretty much alike throughout the country.”

Clinton stumped for Harris during her brief campaign, but his appearances were rife with gaffes. When he was in Georgia, Clinton told reporters that if immigrants were properly screened, innocent people such as Laken Riley wouldn’t have been killed. Then, when he was in Michigan, he said, “I don’t think it’s right to say that people have to vote for Donald Trump because the economy was better then.”

Remember when Bill Clinton showed up to campaign for Kamala, and it went so badly that it actually turned into the perfect Trump ad?

We do, but here it is, to refresh your memory:

Now, as it turns out, we might know why Bill Clinton’s attempts to campaign for Kamala went so, so wrong.

These folks are thinking along the same lines:

Many are even wondering if this means Bill Clinton voted for Trump himself!
