Rejected at the ballot box?

Don't act like less than 50% of an electorate is a mandate dude, it's silly AF. Getting 3 million less votes than the other guy Isn't a sound victory.

Obama won by an electoral landslide but that didn't stop the neo cons from coming back strong AF.

I didn't mean to imply that they are mutually exclusive issues. What I meant to say is that low high school graduation rates are a result of a systematic failure of our primary and secondary education systems. Helping families through after school programs and universal pre-K isn't a panacea but it would definitely help a lot. Our education failures are more cultural than anything and that will take decades to fix.

When/where did the neocons come back strong AF?! The "Bush/Cheney/McCain" wing of the GOP is politically dead. :unsure:

You're right that Trump didnt get a strong mandate, but then again, he's Trump, with his myriad of flaws and weaknesses.
The popular vote margin isnt really relevant though, since both campaigns did not seek to maximize it.

"In the doc, you're brutally honest on Sanders: 'He was in Congress for years. He had one senator support him. Nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him, he got nothing done. He was a career politician. It's all just baloney and I feel so bad that people got sucked into it,'" Rose said, quoting Clinton. "That assessment still hold?"

"Yes, it does," Clinton responded.

She later refused to confirm whether she would endorse or campaign for Sanders should he win the Democratic nomination this year.

"I'm not going to go there yet. We're still in a very vigorous primary season," Clinton said of a possible endorsement of his campaign.

"I will say, however, that it's not only him, it's the culture around him. It's his leadership team. It's his prominent supporters. It's his online Bernie Bros and their relentless attacks on lots of his competitors, particularly the women," she continued.

Killary doing what Killary always resorts to: a thin pretense of restraint and fairness before going for straight out character assassination.

She's still bitter about Sanders and she didn't even lose to him. She was ultra bitter about Obama beating her in 2008 for years. Hell, she probably still hates his guts.
