2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumFor many, Bernie will be a folk hero. For everyone, Hillary will be a president.
A smart, competent, tough, progressive and historic Democratic president.
Some people dont believe me when I say Ive liked Bernie for many years, but its absolutely true. Even though Ive always steadfastly believed that Hillary would be the best possible president, I attentively listened to his entire announcement from Burlington as well as another big rally speech shortly thereafter. At that time, I didnt think he would be a real threat to my candidate (boy was I wrong) but I was definitely interested in what he had to say. Because I liked him.

(24,853 posts)After three years of status quo... there will be a hue and cry unlike any heard before. It will signal her being primaried.
Two and a half years into her Presidency she'll be fighting for her political life.
You think Barack Obama had it bad... you ain't SEEN gridlock.
