2016 Postmortem

The issues that Trump used against her would have had the exact same effect with a candidate who was like Hillary in all respects save gender.

And those issues would not not have vanished if only Hillary had face NO primary opposition.

They weren't invented by Bernie and his supporters and Bernie's supporters had mostly been Elizabeth Warren supporters before she ruled herself out, so we CAN rule out gender as an issue in the primaries.

(BTW, would you have objected to Warren being drafted in Philly? She had every strength Hillary had, but with nothing Trump could go after her on).

But this isn't about which candidate we should have gone with. It's too late for that particular conversation to matter. OR to do any harm if it were carried on(which it probably shouldn't have been).

I don't hate Hillary OR worship Bernie. They are mortal human beings.

And this thread wasn't even about Hillary as a person.

The type of campaign I'm talking about would have worked with her as well as with anyone else.

Voters need to be reminded over and over again of what a party stands for and what voting for that party will mean for THEM-especially young voters

What is your objection to "the 99% memes"? that 99% includes women, people of color, LGBTQ people AND immigrants. Occupy was never a white-dudes only thing.
