2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumInteresting editorial in the Wall Street Journal about the primary
As more polls show that Hillary Clinton could lose to Donald Trump, Democratic media and political elites have decided that the problem isBernie Sanders.

(2,145 posts)I agree. Bernie has a great shot at getting Republicans to vote for him. In the end, they are as disgusted with the establishment as he and we are. Craig Melvin on MSNBC asked a Republican woman working in a greenhouse who she would vote for. She answered Trump in the primary and Bernie in the GE. I know, only one person. But representative of many I believe. Melvin was rather surprised.

For Bernistas, it's just more proof that Bernie is The Chosen One.

(9,385 posts)Add on top of that a huge mountain of corruption, a lousy neocon neoliberal track record, and a shapeshifting message.
Only someone who wants to lose would run HRC over Bernie this year.

(3,017 posts)They both contributed from $1 million to $5 million to the Clinton Foundation.
Does that mean Fox and Newsmax are no longer flawed, right-wing sources? Or are they now OK, like Henry Kissinger?

(31,700 posts)But, it's the Wall Street Journal opinion page, so twisted pro-billionaire propaganda is to be expected. And there are some tidbits of information in the editorial, if you ignore the middle:
The latest Fox News poll shows that Mrs. Clinton is viewed as more corrupt than Mr. Trump, 49% to 37%. She is also now viewed negatively by more of the electorate than is Mr. Trump61% to 56%. This takes some doing given Mr. Trumps incendiary primary campaign and the continuing doubts about him among millions of Republicans.
