2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Hillary Clinton's Private Server... Laugh it off. Nothing to see here... move along please! [View all]BKH70041
(961 posts)Don't think it hasn't been noticed by those of us who are big donors to the Party, because we have. The Clinton supporters at this site are not representative of the supporters as a whole. Most supporters realize her past is going to be an uphill battle and the likelihood of more skeletons emerging will remain a concern.
However, I would still put up her record and potential to win in the GE against any other Democratic candidate any day and twice on Sunday. If someone can come along (like an Obama) and beat her, then that's the way it goes. The only thing I can assure you, from the standpoint of the Party leadership, is that the "someone" will never in a million years be Bernie. He's way too far out of the mainstream for the Democratic Party.
Whoever may be reading: Bookmark this and you can read it again a year from now. I guarantee you that Sanders will never get the nomination. The national money from big donors for the GE run would dry up and go to Congressional races instead.
