Alex, did you see Bernie Sanders' interview yesterday?
This was the man that would have won against Trump, IMO.
He stays so humble and classy. The young people loved him and would have voted in record numbers.

It pains me that the most deserving candidates for President never win.
I literally agree with most, if not all, of Bernie Sanders' issues and where he stands.

Hindsight is 20/20 and I would have pegged Hillary Clinton as being the stronger candidate entering the general election, but it's clear that the American people wanted an anti-establishment candidate this year.

Sanders' message about restoring wages to the middle and working class resonated very strongly in the DNC primary voters in places like Michigan and the Rust Belt that ultimately won Trump the election.

Combine that fact with drastically increasing the millenial turnout and margins compared to Hillary Clinton and there was definitely a real possibility that he would have won this election.

But as I said, hindsight is 20/20 and HRC appeared to be the conventionally stronger candidate. I don't think it was necessarily a mistake to go with her, I just think the DNC did themselves a massive disservice by alienating a large portion of their base by running an unfair primary.

I was wrong about a lot of things this election, but I wasn't wrong about this.

Hillary Clinton was never an exciting candidate.

Bernie and Trump filled stadiums with populist uprisings, and Clinton gave us more of the old, tired political bullshit that didn't really inspire anyone or resonate with Americans.


i feel like the way she campaigned in such a boring manner was rather indicative of why her husband cheated on her.

if thats all the passion she has when running for president then in bed she must just go full limp and wait til its over and counts it as her cardio so she doesn't have to do anything as exciting as jogging.

Hopefully in 2020 we will have a strong candidate that has Bernie Sanders' vision for this country.
Sanders hasn't ruled out running for the White House again in 2020 but he'll be close to 80 years old by then.

So-so start but this thread is doomed to the low energy fate of the original thread.

Forgot about that thread. So did everyone else because it was so damn boring and lifeless.

I haven't met a single supporter of hers in the flesh, and my state voted Democrat during Reagan's landslide.

same here and I am around many teachers which is odd


Reading posts like these is very interesting.

It's all anectdotal evidence, but I didn't come across many vocal Hillary supporters, either. It was all Sanders and Trump shit.

It looks like there was some real truth to the "enthusiasm gap" that Trump supporters often brought up. Trump was selling out stadiums almost every night.

I think we are all forgetting that Nostradamus predicted this would happen.... in fact EVERYTHING that happens was known to Nostradamus... all hail Nostradamus...

Yeah, I'm not a fan of zombie Sanders rising from the grave to make another run at it. We need some fresh blood.

No. They under-estimated Obama's lead in 2012 using the same methods. You guys really need to stop with your conspiracy theories.
