2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Hillary Clinton SNUBS MoveOn.org [View all]senz
(11,945 posts)55. So you like a rigged primary where the DNC chair
headed up Hillary's 2008 Florida campaign and debates are kept down to a few on inauspicious nights? Because, let's face it, she couldn't hold up under equitable circumstances. DWS' DNC has to shelter her.
The people be damned, right?
As for foreign policy chops, Bernie's foreign policy votes have consistently represented good judgment, and we can't say the same for Hillary can we? As for her SOS experience -- well, as she crowed, she traveled to a lot of countries. But she left the middle east in worse shape. Obama didn't get a truly effective SOS until his second term.

A lot of Progressives to risk alienating. Going to need a lot of independents to make up for it.

Seems an endorsement from Moveon.org would probably hurt more than help in the GE.

Clinton: so self-centred that she is hellbent on throwing the election to the GOP.

I remember the Lincoln debacle. It was horrible and eye-opening as you say.

She's had good strategists before that have steered her wrong. I think this is one of those times.
