In reply to the discussion: What Hillary Clinton really thinks [View all]Ken Burch
(50,254 posts)I know Hillary achieved that showing.
And I'm not doing any "but yada-yada-yada".
I wasn't arguing that she shouldn't have been nominated-I was simply rejecting the argument that Bernie would have lost in a landslide.
Do I have to leave that assertion unchallenged just to prove that I accept the results of the primaries?
If so...why?
Bernie almost certainly won't run again, and wouldn't be nominated if he did, so what harm does it do simply to say he wouldn't have gone down in flames in the LAST election? What difference does it make now if someone says that?
Folks, the Hillary V. Bernie contest in the past now.
She beat him in the primaries. We're past that one.
The discussion of ideas now is no longer an argument between their campaigns and supporters.
It's just a discussion of ideas.
We can't just make our entire discourse here into "Hillary should be in the White House".
She should be...and she has the right to speak out on policy and ideas, to have a voice in the future.
I've always agreed with that.
