i understand fully, Hilary's premise that Sen Sanders hurt her candidacy.

23. She didn't do the same thing in '08. She graciously conceded and worked hard for Obama.

A certain someone did not graciously concede. He drug it out for forever, continually attacking the Democratic Party establishment, as he put it, and had to figuratively be dragged kicking and screaming to concede, and because of that, it came off as halfhearted and his supporters got that message, as did the rest of us.

IMO that cost us votes that went third party candidates. And as far as the reasons for the loss, Comey, Putin and repug vote suppression were huge factors.

Do you actually think that 77,000 votes that could swing the EC weren't targeted, and the three states where those votes were ripe for hacking/suppression weren't targeted?

That was all calculated and we got a stolen election, a coup.

But keep believing the media talking points about Clinton not campaigning in those states. There was much more going on under the surface in those states than what the media postmortem spewed. trump redirected his plane to those Midwestern states at the last minute to make it seem like he was actively campaigning there so any irregularities, like just enough votes to swing the EC, wouldn't seem obvious.
