Forum Overview :: ELECTION WATCH 2016 :: You have a strange definition of "better."

[quote name="Mischief Maker"]She lost so badly to the least popular candidate in history that her loss had downballot coattails and you're saying she was a <I>good</I> candidate? Her prime time campaign commercials were little kids frowning at the TV while playing clips of Trump using naughty language, a tactic that already FAILED in the Republican primary. What was the vision of the Clinton campaign? And don't pull a Samantha Bee and say, "you should have read her book" because John Kerry had a fucking book but that didn't stop Bush jr. from casting him as a wishy-washy flip-flopper with no clear stand on the issues. It's so deeply hilarious in a "laughing at the end of the world" kind of way that the one thing the Clinton Campaign needed was some guy running through the office hitting everyone with a rolled up newspaper and screaming, "It's the Economy, Stupid!!!" 'Cause here's the dirty secret about this election. Not everyone Bernie picked up in the open primaries were liberal 20-somethings. A lot of them were older blue collar workers pissed off over job loss due to NAFTA and the threat of the TPP. That was more important to them than any party loyalty, and once Bernie was out the only candidate speaking against the trade deals was Trump. Certainly didn't help that Obama was actively trying to push through the TPP while Hillary was trying to convince people that she changed her mind on the trade deal she called "the gold standard." <IMG SRC="http://ichef-1.bbci.co.uk/news/624/cpsprodpb/13D5D/production/_92354218_us_elections_2016_exit_polls_age_624-2.png"> [quote name="truth"]<a href="http://www.newsweek.com/myths-cost-democrats-presidential-election-521044">Summary of how petulant Bernie supporters lost the election, not the people's preference for Trump</a>[/quote] And once again, <A HREF="https://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2016/11/newsweeks-kurt-eichenwald-continues-his-sad-spiral.html">here's the reubttal</A>.
