2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Election stats and MSNBC: Black Voters Were ‘Offended’ by Dems Running from Obama [View all]smorkingapple
(827 posts)37. My biggest far is Hillary does same dumb shit in 2016
We know her inner circle not huge on Obama for obvious reasons although they should be glad he sucked up the past 8 years vs her so she inherits a great economy instead of the shit show Bush left him.
If she's stupid enough to not use him she deserves to lose. She has a natural defense against the "another Obama term". She ran against him 8 years ago but broadly supports him and his policies. She can highlight specific differences she has with him without tossing him under bus and then quickly pivot to attacking Republicans and highlighting how the past 8 years were much better than the previous 8 under Bush.
There's your playbook. Let's pray she's smart enough to follow it.

OP
I do not think the next person running on the Dem side will get the record levels of support.
