I am tired of hearing how Hillary blew it

65. you seriously think fdr, or sanders, or jfk, would have gotten better treatment from the media?

whoever was our candidate, they would have thrown comparable crap at them.

how is it that republicans can run a candidate in 2016 that violates every basic campaigning rule and win; they ran a completely inept and inexperienced and uninspiring nitwit in 2000 and won; they ran an experienced but inept and uninspiring bonehead in 1988 and won?

how is it that republicans keep running horrible candidates and win and yet democrats have to run perfection in order to win?

we've won with bill clinton and barack obama, two of the most charismatic and inspiring candidates in ages. sure, fine, yes, by all means, we should run the best candidate. but how is it that perfection is a requirement for democrats but not remotely a requirement for republicans?

because they cheat, and they have the media on their side. not a level playing field.


the appropriate response to a game that's not on a level playing field and where the opponent cheats is *not* well, let's just pick a better player for our side.

they'll just cheat harder.


that's how i know fdr would have lost. they would have relentlessly questioned his ability to "stand up for america", put out rumors about his wife and his affairs, and perhaps implied that he sent some mysterious letters and forgot to dot the i's, so how can we trust him in the oval office, and he would have lost.
