Why didn't Clinton? was it the Russians? was it because the dems cheated sanders out of his chance and karma got them? come on guy lets here your theory
Bill Clinton was a two-term governor of Arkansas who had been Attorney General of Arkansas prior to his election to that office. Hardly "no track record". The economy flourished under his administration, and there was actually no national debt! Only time in my lifetime that I can recall that being the case.
Trump, on the other hand...
There was one year where you could argue we did not go farther in the red but the national debt never went away.

What you responded to was my response in reference to what would be his NEXT election, since we know ALL ABOUT him, now. The topic is about then, not the past.
But since you brought it up, she was supposed to have won. We do not yet have results from the ongoing investigation into what occurred.. be patient.

Reason: Addition
Any predictions as who'll buy the opportunity to lose to Trump next election? Does Pocahontas have enough money?
if Bernie runs in 2020, he will very likely be the dem nominee and anyone brown or black could be chosen as his running mate....perhaps booker or harris. Bernie is the leader of the democrats, even warren has said as much, although he is a socialist and not a democrat.
if Bernie doesn't run, I'd put my money on daval Patrick/Katherine gillibrand for the 2020 dem ticket against trump in 2020. these two people cover all the PC bases: correct race, sex, and progressive beliefs. also, Obama has said he wants Patrick for president and barack carries much weight with the dem party....still.
and fwiw, I also think Romney will challenge trump for the nomination in 2020.
Or are you unable to answer the above question (because you have been brainwashed by certain aspects of the conservative media to never believe anything from far-left sources) ??
Fact is both left and right organizations manipulate statistics and omit relevant facts to fit their agenda. And both sides will lie and both sides often tell the truth. But to live in a world where you instantly assume a source is invalid because it comes from one political side is truly insane, and its similar to the behavior of someone programmed by a cult.

They aren't progressive at all; just more of the same old, same old corporate Clinton Third Way Democrat type.

Looking at false claims, I guess it's time we refer to Trump as the 'Pride of the Boy Scouts'.
calling a white person who claims to have Indian ancestry "Pocahontas" is indeed intended as an insult, and there for is a slur.
no less so than calling a white women claiming to have black ancestry "keisha" or to use historical context "Harriet Tubman"
The moment you use it in such a way as to demean the individual because of that perceived race, it becomes an insult to the entire race because you are then using a hyper sensationalized term/name
Native American = Cochise/Pocahontas/Squanto/Sacajawea/Sequoiah/adding Prefix of "sitting" or "crazy"
Black/African american = Keisha/Tyrone/adding the "La" or "De" prefix/Kunta
Asian-Western = Lee/Chan
Asian - Eastern = Sanjay
Im not sure if you dont understand this, or if you dont care, either way, it is indeed an insult to the entire race. The best thing you can do if you actually believe this to be false of Warren is to actually address Warren herself, and not use the name Pocahontas.
Think of it this way, if you were talking to a native american person, you would not dare call them that name if it wasnt theirs. Why do you then think it is ok to do to Warren ???
You're right. It is a slur and an insult, but not in the manner that leftists claim. Rather than serving as an insult to Native Americans, the insult is personalized, meant to attack a sitting U.S. Senator who lied about her heritage (and putting yourself down as Native American in faculty journals and allowing your law school employers to boast of you being Native American without any concrete evidence IS lying). In claiming Cherokee heritage as she did, Pocahontas insulted Native Americans.
The Democratic nominee will be the person that GM/Ford/General Mills/3M/Google/Microsoft and Facebook want in there.
But he/she will proclaim to be a champion for the little guy.
The irony of your remarks probably escapes you.
