2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumThe worry that is wafting off the Clinton campaign
and supporters grows more adorable by the hour.
I hope the Democratic party withstands the fractures that Hillary Clinton is laying down.

That little tiny crowd was trying to help Bill, trying to tell him to quit but he just kept right on going. Telling BLM that they were supporting the killing of black children might be his worst gaffe yet. This:
Just wow.

She's wrong for women and children trying to make ends meet, and sons and daughters locked up for decades under drug charges.
Her bucks, and it is oh, well, here is the butcher's bill!

(3,937 posts)He just won number 8 out of the last 9 contests. Another 55 / 45 split (or better). He is eclipsing Clinton with birds and Popes and votes and caucus wins. Berniemania has become unignorable.

and NY and PA look much less certain than SC.
I'm sure that makes them anxious.

(7,299 posts)quote/unquote that she claimed he was unqualified. He lied. She never made such a quote.
Aerows
(39,961 posts)that you would think a candidate stuck a finger aggressively, Brewster style, in the face of a Greenpeace activist while yelling "Bernie".
That particular line of discourse probably won't go well with your candidate.
Oh wait, it already hasn't.

Sen. Clinton's qualifications have always been...shaky. She claims she was there on all the important issues everywhere, but then ducks out on the stuff that might hurt her(Superpredators, IWR, etc.) and says she had nothing to do with it.
It puts huge holes in what is supposed to be her strongest attribute. I give her an A+ for situationally exploiting issues for political gain, but that makes you a Newt Gingrich, not a leader. Worse, she gets an F for empathy. How are we supposed to believe that she is going to make things better for normal people when she doesn't even like them?

(4,186 posts)...and we are entitled to our opinions, and in my opinion, getting in bed with the Third Way and taking millions from Wall Street means you are not qualified. And her foreign policy judgement and linkage with Clinton Foundation donations makes her unqualified.

(45,851 posts)"Yes, Senator Sanders is qualified to be President".
ohheckyeah
(9,314 posts)Aerows
(39,961 posts)Damn.
But that doesn't mean I agree with her about everything or even most things. I don't feel there is any better choice.
Aerows
(39,961 posts)however both Bernie and Hillary are sane human beings as opposed to the nutjob brigade the Republicans have.
I'm not sure who is more frightening and dumb - Cruz supporters or Trump supporters. A decade ago both of those nincompoops would not be qualifying for office, they would be evaluated for which wing of the psyche ward to place them in.
ohheckyeah
(9,314 posts)I's vote for him over ANY REPUBLICAN, i'D VOTE FOR sATAN OVER A REPUBLICAN, BUT FORTNATELY i HAVE hILLARY AS A CHOICE.Sorry for the Wonky Typing, I had a stroke and can't use my right hand to type.
Aerows
(39,961 posts)You are a great DUer. Hope things improve for you.

(9,314 posts)disorder. He's going to put me on a blood thinner, maybe it won't happen again. I look at the presidential candidates and wonder if they are really the best this nation has to offer. I hope not.
Aerows
(39,961 posts)but I will keep you in my thoughts and hope for the best outcome for you, my friend.
Everybody on this site might not always agree, but when the chips are down, I like to think we all stand together.

(39,961 posts)Hillary Clinton herself has gone around the bend in the last couple of days, but good to see her followers didn't join on leaping off the mountain. That is politics.

Bleacher Creature
(11,257 posts)Sanders still has no path to the nomination. A lot of Clinton supporters are getting antsy for her to finally put him away, but the long term prognosis hasn't changed.

I wonder what they would have lobbed at Elizabeth Warren.

yourpaljoey
(2,166 posts)I believe she may soon be radioactive
Jackilope
(819 posts)Incredible -- two videos today posted where HRC cackles, her new anger management technique in campaigning. She can avoid answering questions to those pesky young people asking her about fracking by laughing and asking them to do their research. (Appalling)
Third Way shenanigans are what is ruining the Democratic Party. She is a Third Way candidate. The gaslighting of those that run against them, the triangulation, the Clinton Foundation, Bill's antics today .... just sick of them already. Independents and Republicans are not going to want to put those two back in the White House.

(39,961 posts)our party is going to drag itself out of the morass DWS has caused.
We need a dynamic and COMPETENT, principled leader to take over as our campaign coordinator (am I wrong, that is what DWS does, right?)
Tulsi Gabbard.
RiverLover
(7,830 posts)That would be a refreshing change of pace from the course Clinton1 set us on in the 90s.
Aerows
(39,961 posts)and I believe it will only be done under a Bernie Presidency.
NanceGreggs
(27,817 posts)... is also the 50th consecutive week that she and her supporters have been characterized as desperate, worried, terrified, nervous, petrified, and/or totally losing it.
It is also the 50th consecutive week that HRC's campaign has been characterized as imploding, flailing, coming unglued, and/or teetering on the edge of complete collapse.
In the meantime, Hillary has more votes, more delegates, and more super-delegates, and is still the front-runner with an insurmountable lead.
That worry that's "wafting" is probably emanating from the puddle of flop-sweat the Bernie campaign is standing in.
morningfog
(18,115 posts)It is surmountable, but it would be very, very hard to surmount. But it is not insurmountable, not until Bernie is mathematically eliminated.

Aerows
(39,961 posts)in the race to the Presidency, with every imaginable advantage, then throw it all away again.
I'm not sure what is necessary to illustrate that she is a flawed candidate, and anyone trying to make it about the fact that she is not a male is singing a very off-note key.
She's a flawed candidate because she can't stop changing her political ideals on a dime, every day, can't stop telling lies, and has a history of bad judgment that got women, children and innocent care givers murdered.
That is my problem with her. Her ovaries aren't involved.

jwirr
(39,215 posts)Democratic Parties get to their state conventions and all hell breaks lose regarding the money funneled into Hillary's Victory Fund is questioned by the delegates to those conventions And the Super-Delegates start backing out of the deal. Then she will have worries.
Aerows
(39,961 posts)but if there is a Clinton involved, funneled money is a given.
