2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI don't know why.. but I am just at peace..
I know there is a lot of movement in the Democratic Party... that I am such a proud life long member of.. but all the stuff getting tossed around.. for some reason.. I am just at peace that what ever happens will be okay.. can't give you a reason for it.. maybe having E. Warren out and smacking down Trump.. just gives me the positive feeling that the Democrats are going to be okay.. If its Hillary or Bernie, we are going to be okay.. I have been like this for maybe three weeks..

(7,299 posts)How can they think that a billionaire, who has stiffed his creditors four times, who employees unskilled visa workers at his Mar a Lago resort, who employed illegal immigrants on his construction sites and who has his clothing line manufactured in China and Mexico is the guy that's going to solve their economic woes ?

(47,803 posts)I certainly don't want Trump anywhere near Washington, and will vote for Clinton in November if she's the nominee.
But otherwise.....Meh. Don't like either of them, for different reasons. And the campaign will be totally inane and soul depleting.
The new e-mail report just cemented that. She is not the person who should be our nominee -- even if it can't be Bernie, she should not be the nominee. But since the lemminglike march to the sea seems to be unstoppable, why bother caring?
So I'll detach from it. If I get in the mood to watch Reality TV I'll watch Survivor or something.
Hopefully the long run will work out better. But not feeling very hopeful right now.

When O'Malley dropped out.. (he was my guy) I was so discombobulated.. that for a while I thought.. meh.. I will just be a down ballot Democrat.. and put all my energy there..but that started to pass.. then I was not going to participate in GDP.. but that passed too.. and then the negative posts stopped making me feel anything.. I do not know if that makes sense..but what is .. is.. and I am peaceful with that..

(2,117 posts)The people with good jobs will be fine through a Trump presidency. The wealthy will be fine. It's the vulnerable who will be pulverized.
For this reason I am very pumped to vote for Hillary.

(22,875 posts)but to be honest with you.. if Bernie (which is not going to happen because of the numbers) had been able to swing those numbers.. I would have been okay with him.. it is what it is..

Not only is that silly, it's wildly uninformed.

(2,117 posts)You can't contain it to just the non-purple states.
People said in 2000 there was no difference between Gore and Bush. Won't get fooled again.
