(6,994 posts)against Hillary since 2008?
Obama had such a great campaign organization and Techs working for his campaign there was no way he would lose or
have either of his runs stolen.
The Clinton Advisors and Managers (as incompetent as they were) entered this campaign thinking "we have the funding we have the organization now lets just do this".
The Clinton campaign thought they could raise funding from the likes of Wall St,Goldman Sachs and every other Corporate mafia member that would write a check and pretend she was a true progressive.
She took the money turned the corner from Wall St.and declared "here I am folks Im your gal. Im the progressive liberal candidate that is going to kick some ass. Trouble is the Republicans,Reince Priebus,and the silent partner this time around Karl Rove were waiting.
The Corporate media gave Bernie Sanders no time,no discussion because they wanted Hillary to face off with their flawed candidate Donald Trump.
As Hillary came closer to clinching the nomination many liberals left because they kept saying over and over again "we don't want Hillary because we don't believe she can win" as DWS kept pretending this is going to be a cake walk.
Sure Hillary won the popular vote but if it was the popular vote that was the strategy to win don't you think the Republicans would have used a different strategy.
Do you know what hurt Hillary's campaign (more than we realize) and pissed off a lot of Democratic voters?
She started campaigning for the down ballot as if she had this in the bag when she should have kept going to PA Ohio,Mich and Wisc.
By switching her campaign tactics she hurt here momentum she had at the time and walla the rest is history.
So stop blaming the voters that stayed home or the ones that voted for a Third Party it was the incompetency of the Clinton Campaign.
I voted for Hillary Clinton in fact my whole family voted for Hillary but I will tell you what there was not the excitement there was when we voted for Obama in 2008 and just how many Democrats out there feel the same way?
So can we please move on...
