In reply to the discussion: Hillary Throws Shade at Bernie: 'Fundamentally Wrong' About Democratic Party [View all]LovingA2andMI
(7,006 posts)However, Congresswoman Dingell spoke the facts and nothing but for Michigan -- Along with Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. Three states that Hillary Lost which cost her the Oval.
Three States she barely Campaigned in after the Primary despite doing a Rally with Lebron James in Ohio the night before the election which was totally a waste of time as Ohio was #AlreadyLostToHer. Despite not offering an OLIVE BRANCH to the candidate that gave her a "run for her money" in the Primary Election and it sure was not Martin O' Malley -- BERNIE SANDERS -- an opportunity for the V.P. Slot.
Here's the skinny on that:
Bernie would have likely TURNED IT DOWN allowing her to pick whoever she wanted for the V.P. Even if was Tim Kaine it would not have resulted in a "Who Is Tim Kaine?" moment that definitely occurred.
However, Hillary could have bragging rights, she offered it.
Meanwhile, the disaffected millennials would have less angst about supporting her. Add that OLIVE BRANCH to actually campaigning for her life (or Presidency) depended on it in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania in the General Election -- there would be NO RACIST DONALD TRUMP in the White House Today.
But --- Her Ego and picking Tim Kaine as the V.P. (Again, who is Tim Kaine?) is exactly why we have Trump.
The Olive Branch and Bernie turning it down (which we believe he would have) were all that was needed along with strong campaigning in the Midwest - to change our reality right now.
Those are the facts.
