If someone was better, they should have stepped up and beat her in nomination contest. Maybe the fact that no Democrat could beat her says something about her actual popularity (as opposed to what WND and places like that want you to believe). Bernie couldn't beat her (and wasn't (and isn't) a Democrat). MOM couldn't beat her. Who was supposed to beat her in this alternative universe? Why didn't they run and do it? Cheers, Scott.

Simple, no? Wonder why they didn’t think of that earlier… cordially,

As recounted by Bob Woodward in The Agenda: Inside the Clinton White House, Clinton vented to his advisers: "'Where are all the Democrats?' Clinton bellowed. 'I hope you're all aware we're all Eisenhower Republicans,' he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. 'We're all Eisenhower Republicans here, and we are fighting the Reagan Republicans. We stand for lower deficits and free trade and the bond market. Isn't that great?'" http://www.newsweek.com/spending-freeze-obama-eisenhower-republican-71153 Yeah. It was fscking "great" all right. Great for Republicans everywhere. Not so great for Democrats, but they don't really count anyway because "where else are they going to go?" Right? Well they answered in 2016 and we all know how ugly that was. Fear not, though, because the same toadies in charge of the DNC are there still and will guarantee YAN Eisenhower Republican is the Democratic nominee. But, that too, is all right isn't it? Because PARTY! bcnu, Mikem It's mourning in America again.

The choice was between a mostly-sane party and an insane party, helped by the Russians, helped by a political hack at the FBI, helped by a press corps that was more interested in chasing clicks and eyeballs than informing the public, helped by people who insisted on believing the absolute worst lies about a decent person, helped by people who insisted on letting visions of some workers' led glorious revolution color their view of reality. Hillary got millions more votes than her opponents. She wasn't the problem. When's Bernie going to release his tax returns? Hmm? What does he have to hide anyway? Got any thoughts about that? ;-p But we've been through all this before. Do you have your "Charlotte Never!!" bumper sticker yet? Don't want to be the last one on the bandwagon - she's only got 32 years to go... :-/ Cheers, Scott.

Post #423,874 by mmoffitt 5/24/18 9:06:00 AM 5/24/18 9:06:00 AM Reply	Uh, no. Maybe the fact that no Democrat could beat her says something about her actual popularity ... Still haven't learned the lesson, I see. What it does say is that the DNC is incredibly adept at pre-selecting a Neo-Republican candidate. See, for example, what a party insider had to say about that. bcnu, Mikem It's mourning in America again.
Post #423,878 by Another Scott 5/24/18 10:56:34 AM 5/24/18 10:56:34 AM Reply	We've been through all that. She won the nominating contest. Get over it. Name a Democrat who could have beaten her. Explain why that obviously better candidate decided not to run. Re-litigating the fact that Democrats preferred an actual Democrat is pointless. What's the path forward, with an actual human being, not zombie Eugene McCarthy or whoever, for 2020? Cheers, Scott.

Post #423,888 by mmoffitt 5/24/18 2:39:58 PM 5/24/18 2:39:58 PM Reply	Let me flip that back at you. She was such a popular Democrat that a non-Democrat damned near beat her in the Democratic Primary. How popular was she with Democrats again? I'm telling you, if the DNC chooses another one like her, they'll LOSE again. You're not claiming you know more about the inner workings of that campaign than Donna Brazile are you? Or are you just excusing the unequal treatment by the Party because Bernie Wasn't Even a Democrat!!!111ONE!1? bcnu, Mikem It's mourning in America again.
