NEW HAMPSHIRE 2020: Sanders jumps to lead, BUttigieg surges While Warren and Biden slip (Emerson)

63. Math is math. She won, and the electoral college negated it when they could have upheld it.

I hate it when people ignore or dismiss the incredible feat of winning by that much in face of the things working against her:

-The statistical improbability of keeping the WH in one party for more than two consecutive terms (explaining in part why so few men threw their hats in)
-A Russian misinformation campaign working against her succefully waged with young white, college educated liberals.
-Misogyny on the Right and Left
-Twenty five years of GOP smears and attacks
-Comey's bogus concern letter days before the election
-Suppression of the Democratic vote in the key states where she lost by a sliver, in numbers greater than the margin she lost by.

I'd say the sort of win by the margin of votes she pulled out in the face of all that is pretty damn incredible, and unmatched.

Being a "flawed" candidate, or running a "flawed" campaign was never a deal breaker for any other Democratic POTUS candidate, even Dukakis. Only She was required to be "perfect," and making her "flaws" - real or fictional - the sole reason for the stealing of the Oval Office by the GOP with the help of Russia and Assange, supports the narrative and ambitions of certain other politicians.

Including Trump and Putin.
