2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Either Hillary's a Weak Candidate and/or Bernie's a Strong Candidate and/or his Message is Powerful [View all]zalinda
(5,621 posts)84. Most of it, both Bill and Hillary brought on theirselves.
If they had been upfront and honest when questions were asked, they would not have had the problems that they did.
Hillary did the same this cycle. She had been praised for her SOS tenure. Even though every one knew she was going to run for President again, she did things that would be questionable. I'm starting to think that she loves it this way.

I too don't have a high level of confidence that Hillary can win the presidential general election

Hillary has always been a fighter. Look what she's had to put up with since the 90's.

I think we should just cancel the November election and just let Trump have it all

Because you are saying there is nothing Bernie could do so he should just shut up

I never said that Sanders should shut up. You must have read that in another post.

Saying that a group is idealistic is not the same as saying they are ignorant...

Obama has tried that tract. He never offers anything the GOP wouldn't accept and then waters it

Running against Hillary is like playing a basketball game on the other team's home court

Just an observation that the "weak" candidates has gotten 60% of the vote so far...

Reason tells me that those who will call Hillary an extreme socialist and Obama a Kenyan Muslim

If the point is to make arbitrary equations to Trump let's remember that Donald is the wealthy

It is a combo. Bernie is a strong candidate (can't be bought, honest) and his message is powerful.

He's convincingly made promises he has to know he can't keep in traditional politician fashion.
