The only people who actually liked Clinton were older, upper middle class professionals in large cities and their suburbs. That isn't enough. Everybody else who voted for her in the primaries did so because they thought she was the pragmatic choice. We should have gone with Bernie. If we had, he would be President right now.

So despised is Hillary, so distrusted, so loathsome, that a 70 y/o, orange-skinned novice, with relatively no money, no support from his own party, no corporate funding, spewing bombastic comments, beat her easily. The DNC decided it would rather lose with Hillary, and cheat to make it happen, than to win with someone honest like Bernie. That's how corrupt the DNC is. Thank God Trump won (I didn't vote for Trump, btw).

That's what you get for selling out.

Don't be so sure. What has the DNC done to make you think they would ever go against Hillary? She is, in essence, the heart & soul of the DNC. If she decides she wants to run again, they will do whatever she tells them to do.

Explain why you don't feel the DNC is packed with Clinton supporters, it's well documented that she did that in the run up to 2016 to make sure another Obama didn't pop up.

I'd love to see them debate again in 2020 run up.

"That was a great answer by my opponent. One has to wonder how many days she's had to prepare for that question."

People think the republicans are having a split? Democrats SHOULD be having one too.

I mean, just look at the spending last presidential campaign. 700mil to 350mil roughly with Hillary clobbering Trump but still losing.

I voted for him in the primary. Didn't see his name in the ballot in the general election. I did see an incompetent, racist, morally bankrupt buffoon, and I voted for the candidate with the best chance of beating him.

At the caucus, I saw older white couples and a lot of black women on the Hillary side of the room.

Joining me on the Bernie side were mostly people under forty. I think I was one of the oldest on that side of the room, except for an outspoken old veteran.

This country would be so much better off if Bernie had won.

I just want her in prison for the rest of her life to pay for her crimes. Someone needs to hold her accountable as they do anyone else.
