Do not blame Hillary primary voters for her general election loss. Put the blame where it belongs.

[Skwmom]

The Democratic Establishment who did everything they could to rig the process for Hillary.

[boston bean]

1. Miss Cleo is that you?

[treestar]

2. FCOL.

There's nobody to blame but the voters. They get to pick. If they want Trump, they'll get all they deserve.

[think]

24. Ya. Blame the voters for your corrupt candidate

[treestar]

41. The voters picked our candidate

The Democratic voters.

Yes the voters can be responsible for who they vote for. We aren't zombies.

[lostnfound]

39. The ones that had to wait 5.5 hours in Arizona?

Or the ones left with no food all day on caucus days?

[treestar]

42. Link to prove that?

Who was so dumb there was no food break for a caucus? Thank the Rs for the long lines, but they affect all voters.

[JoePhilly]

3. Another prayer for Trump?

Isn't this like the 3rd or 4th already today?

[NCTraveler]

4. To be fair, it wasn't really a secret. Nt

[boston bean]

5. Trumparoni!

[Skwmom]

19. If I wanted Trump, I would be saying please, please, please nominate Hillary.

[Nonhlanhla]

6. The process was not rigged

It's time to stop this nonsense.

Of course the Democratic establishment preferred Hillary. She's been a Democrat for decades, and has huge influence in the Democratic Party. But that does not mean that a newcomer did not have a chance. We saw that in 2008. Hillary was the establishment candidate then too, and she lost to a newcomer who knew how the primary process worked and ran a super-smart campaign. So it is entirely possible to win even against the person who is seen as the early frontrunner, provided you know what you're doing. Bernie just did not quite manage that this time around, although he did very well. In the end the voters decided. The voters. Not the Democratic Establishment.

[boston bean]

7. But But But, the orange blowhard! What don't you get about this?

[Nonhlanhla]

8. I get that this is a Democratic site

and that we should not be carrying water for the GOP nominee?

[boston bean]

11. I was wholeheartedly agreeing with you!

[Nonhlanhla]

13. I know.

I was just adding another point of agreement.

[boston bean]

14. Then we are doubly in agreement!

[Arkansas Granny]

9. +1

[SidDithers]

10. ...

Sid

[Arneoker]

17. Irrefutable!

Although the weak minded may try to.

[onenote]

12. The Democratic Establishment and the Sanders supporters better find a way to make peace

Because no one wins (except Trump) if they stay divided.

Sanders needs the Democratic Establishment to win the General Election. Clinton needs Sanders supporters to win the General Election.

It's not that complicated.

[Katashi_itto]

18. Don't worry about it. She's inevitable remember?

[onenote]

22. No one is inevitable. Not Trump. Not Sanders. Not Clinton.

Next.

[Katashi_itto]

27. Thats been the catch phrase of Clintonitas since the campaign began. Own it. Next.

[onenote]

28. And having no substantive response has become the answer of choice

for some Sanders' supporters these days.

[Katashi_itto]

30. Project much?

[onenote]

31. Point proven.

[Katashi_itto]

32. I marvel at their total disconnect from reality

We hate you . . . . now let's be friends.
You don't matter . . . . now let's be friends.
We don't need you . . . . now let's be friends.
You are all bullies and thugs . . . . now let's be friends.
You are sexist . . . . now let's be friends.

[LiberalFighter]

15. How did the Democratic establishment rigged the process in Hillary's favor?

If anything the DNC made it easier for Sanders to win. But the majority of voters didn't want him.

[Sinistrous]

16. (snort)

[Arneoker]

21. You must be smoking something pretty powerful there!

To respond to the truth like that. You can't really believe that Hillary has gotten 3 million more votes in the primaries (you know, where regular people can vote easily) because of DNC may have screwed up scheduling the debates.

[Sinistrous]

34. It was hardly just the rigged debate schedule.

There will always be the Bernie blackout by the MSM.

Take your blinders off.

[DURHAM D]

23. This...

[Lizzie Poppet]

37. "If anything the DNC made it easier for Sanders to win."

[LisaL]

20. She hasn't lost the general election.

So this is ridiculous.

[Arneoker]

25. Let's assume that she does lose

I'm sure that there will be plenty of people to blame. A lot of the less thoughtful among the Bernie supporters would put it all on her. They don't like to acknowledge that they are responsible for their own vote, and how they use it, or don't use it.

As far the "Establishment" rigging anything, the evidence being presented seems to be scheduling the Democratic debates, voter suppression orchestrated by Republicans that would harm Hillary's voters more than Sanders', and the nuttiest of conspiracy theories.

There is a tiny case with the first, but that is not why Hillary is ahead by 3 million in primary votes, and ahead in PLEDGED delegates, many of which were picked by less democratic caucus states, which the Bernie supports keep saying favor their candidate.

[pdsimdars]

26. Why are you excusing Hillary? She is the one who rigged it. She rigged the DNC with DWS

the DNC is the Clinton Machine. And that was organized by Hillary and Bill.

[Skwmom]

36. I will clarify. The Clintons are the head of the Democratic Establishment.

[LiberalFighter]

40. You are in effect blaming Obama for DWS as head of the DNC.

She became chair with his blessing.

[imagine2015]

33. Let's blame Ralph Nader!

[rock]

35. And who gets credit for her winning the general election?

[baldguy]

38. Lay the blame on "progressive" voters who won't vote for the progressive candidate, Hillary Clinton.

That's where it would belong.
