2016 Postmortem

(1,446 posts)Our choices were Hillary or Sanders. Sanders has much more in his background that would make him a weak general election candidate. While liberal Democrats don't really care about his socialist background or this atheism, many, many middle Americans do care. Then put those things in the hands of the GOP ad machine...and add his plans to massively raise taxes, the fact that he never held a job before being mayor of some town in Vermont, his rape fantasy writings, pro-pot legalization stance and he quickly looks like a fringe liberal wacko.
The 'negatives' about Hillary have been largely disproven, and no one who seriously believes she even had an inkling about running for president in 2016 thinks that she purposefully did anything with her emails as SOS to harm that chance. Even if the FBI can prove that warning letters were sent to the SOS office, they cannot prove that Hillary saw those warnings.
Cha ching...another $200 in the bank...
