If there were a female candidate who had similar credentials as Hillary who didn’t rig the primaries and didn’t have nearly as much of a controversial past, Trump wouldn’t be president.
She’s in her late 60s. Democrats historically don’t give failed Presidential nominees a second bite at the apple. The Clinton political machine is dead.
The problem with Clinton’s candidacy was that her victory was always and only going to be symbolic. Her campaign offered nothing else of substance. She lost and she and the DNC are the only ones to blame.
Railing on and on about identity politics has come home to roost, even if the other chickens in the coop are covering their eyes.
Yeah great stuff. Glad we put up Hillary. She did fantastic. Only got 10 million less votes than Obama did 8 years ago. Glad we had the wisdom to clear the way for her and rig the nomination.
Ah, first sighting of the “voter suppression” excuse. Wondered when this was going to pop up.
This arrogance is exactly why Trump won. America is not stupid they don’t buy this bullshit. Most conservatives begrudgingly picked Trump, most didn’t pretend he was anything but the lesser of two evils.
I am really sick of this everyone is a bigot and women hater shit. Obama got 10 million more fucken votes than Hillary 8 years ago. Hillary lost white counties in Penn an Ohio that Obama won by 5% by upwards of 25%.
Pro tip:
Any strategy that begins with telling people who agree with you politically to fuck off tends not to be viable in the long term. Our candidate lost. We can either soul-search and figure out what to do next, or we can fuck off, ourselves.
Oh please. She had a massive war chest, tons of endorsements and a huge lead in the polls. The nomination was a lay up. Then a nobody junior senator came out of nowhere and rolled her.
“Sure, Bernie would’ve got more votes in the rust belt, but what about, you know, the REST OF THE COUNTRY? The dude never had a chance with moderate democrats. ”
Important to who? Bernie was winning with all the demographics (non-college educated whites and young people of all races) that led to a Trump victory. I think Hillary lost more of the Bernie vote than Bernie would’ve lost of the Hillary vote. The difference in the election was a couple hundred thousand votes in…
Presuming that Bernie Sanders would have lost cost the Democrats the election.
Who exactly do you think these moderate Democrats would have voted for? Trump?
How often did you say Trump never had a chance? And yet here we are.
Bingo. Clinton lost not because of social issues, but because she ignored economic ones. So Hamilton’s call to arms while not mentioning economic issues illustrates completely how out of touch the democrats are and why they just lost to a halfwit con man.
You’ve done a great job here pointing out a phenomenon known as “point-and-laugh liberalism.” Maybe if the Democrats adopted the a policy of unconditional respect, one that was advocated by... what’s his name.... the old white guy from Vermont, we wouldn’t be staring at this goddamn travesty. These people are…
I’d add that anytime they were spoke to, they were called racist, sexist, xenophbic, uneducated bigots. Apparently you shouldn’t alienate one of the biggest voting blocks in the country.
