2016 Postmortem

(29,113 posts)For those giving Autumn a hard time in this thread.
In 2008, at this point in the primaries, I knew Hillary was probably not going to get the nom -- it was almost sure, even though she was closer to Obama then than Bernie is to her now.
But, I still supported her, I still donated to her.
Why?
Because it was important to me. Her campaign was important to me. I also was looking forward: to a possible cabinet post with Obama's Administration (which happened), to a possible Presidential run in 2016 (which is happening).
I also knew, as bitter as I sometimes was, that Hillary would support Obama after the dust settled, and so would I, as sad as I was that the first viable woman running for President didn't get the nom.
So, props to you, Autumn, for looking forward to November, but also being loyal to your candidate. Well done, you.
