2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumSo basically Hillary went to Michigan in order to lie about Bernie's vote on the auto bailout.
Recent polls show she was slipping badly. She had to do something!
So now she may end up winning Michigan dirty, but the lies are catching up to her...

(50,130 posts)It was said on CNN that her internal polling showed her slipping and not generating enthusiasm, so she had to drop that bomb on Bernie and also "testify" in a lot of church services.

(14,459 posts)She's going to tell a lie that's too big to swallow at some point. Either that, or the thing that's keeping her entire campaign awake at night is going to come out.
Regardless, this isn't the behavior of someone confident that she's going to win.

(14,459 posts)They may stab her in the back during the GE- if Trump is running, turning her into a punching bag will net huge ratings.
I do think people are getting their news from other sources now, otherwise Bernie would be cooked by now.
