Making The Case For 2020 Hillary Clinton

[Amimnoch]

98. "one of the worst campaigns in modern political history"???

What's that sports phrase? Monday morning quarterbacking, or armchair quarterbacking? Please pardon me, sports isn't my thing.

First flaw I find in the logic, 2016 wasn't ours to lose, it was ours to win. We just had eight mostly wonderful years with President Obama. The first president that enjoyed very exceptional popularity in a rather long time for sure, BUT it was 8 years with a Democratic POTUS. Not since FDR have we had a Democrat in the office of the presidency for more than 2 terms. Even on the Republican side of things Reagan is the only president that broke that mold with Bush Senior. Having a Democrat succeed President Obama was bucking the odds to begin with. That the thugs ran such a horrid candidate that was losing in the poles right up to the end doesn't show how bad a campaign Clinton ran, but how bad a candidate they selected.

This was "supposed" to be their year, and it took Russian interference, sabotage by our very on FBI director hours before, an ill advised contentious Democratic party primary, and one hell of a misogynistic smear campaign to bring her down with the largest popular majority vote win of a losing candidate ever.

There are certainly things that I, another Monday morning quarterback, thinks she could have done differently that may have nudged it, but to say she ran "one of the worst campaigns in modern political history"?? Poppycock.
