In all the "Bernie would have won/No he wouldn't" posts I've read...........

69. Exactly

This may ruffle some jimmy's but the fact of the matter is that Bernie would have never been her situation because he never decided that he should open his own email server. There is a lot of mud thrown at Bernie, but frankly the one thing the Clinton supporters seemingly refuse to acknowledge is the fact that it was her own decision to use that server.

Again, this may not sit well and I will probably be reported for saying this but frankly its time it should be said.

She shot herself in the foot, and we have to learn from the mistakes of this election so they are not repeated. There never would have been an FBI investigation had she simply used a State Dept. server. There would be no Comey, and no speculation on what she deleted had she simply used the email address that State provided her. There would have been no speculation and no investigation. At some point you have to realize that the election was not so much stolen as it was thrown away.


If the DNC had not been doing what it did, then the Bernie folks would have had no reason to be upset and boycott the election and probably would have gotten on board. There was a plethora of mistakes made and writing it off as a stolen election or blaming the entire thing on Russia is not going to help us in 2018 and 2020.

Mistakes were made, and we have got to learn from them in order to advance our agenda. Again, I am sorry if this hurt's feelings but I have been reading this stuff for a while and It's about time someone said it.

I don't say this to point fingers or blame the candidate, but to help us later. We have got to continue to progress towards the America we envision, even if it means hurting some feelings. I just want to see the America I know we can be, and not the America we are.
