Hillary Clinton
In reply to the discussion: I can't tolerate the bashing of Hillary here [View all]question everything
(49,426 posts)We suffered a humiliating defeat. There is no way behind it. And blaming it on voter suppression and Citizen United is not helping. Hillary herself would not try to put blame elsewhere.
She headed the ticket so she now takes the arrows.
What I hope for the "Postmortem 2016" is that we can find the spots where we missed - and we did miss, no one is perfect - and to work on them for 2018 and 2020. This is what she would like us to do.
There is no comfort in pointing out that a main reason for the defeat is with Hillary. Because of her 2-Xs.
She should have carried the Scranton area of Pennsylvania but some voters said that "the President job is a man's job."
Yes, a neanderthal, but a voter, nonetheless.
I have not been much here since we came back and of course did not read most of the posts. But if I did, if I will, I will point out any unfair Hillary bashing. In all my posts I repeat that, no, Sanders was not the answer.
Let's hope that Skinner will keep this forum for a few more weeks, until even the non-star members can join, let everyone get the distress and disappointment out of one's system and then remove it.
