2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: So the Media thinks Bernie and Hillary are neck and neck in Iowa and New Hampshire now huh? [View all]Moral Compass
(1,517 posts)19. Right on!
I've had the sense that nothing is as it seems for months now. The narrative Hillary was to be the heir apparent was set up years ago. First we had a black President. And then we would have our first woman President. It was to be this seamless transition as we marched into a progressive paradise.
But, but....
Some of us have been rudely paying attention to Ms. Clinton's actual policy positions and when offered the alternative of a real progressive found that option much more appealing.
I eagerly await the primaries. I think the nation is going to be shocked at the divergence from the pre-ordained narrative the MSM has been pushing.

I'm fine at this point with them lowering expectations just as much as they want to

It amazes me that people here are so convinced that the polls are being skewed.
