2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumLet me be the first to say, conditionally, "We told you so."
A lot of articles on the web and posts on DU are treating our process as having already been completed.
"Why Bernie Lost" is one such huffpost article. "Madam President" is an oft heard salutation, long before we are there.
Hillary Clinton will not be president. If she becomes the nominee, we will get Trump.
We better hope that Sanders wins because he will defeat Trump with relative ease should he become our candidate.
But, conditioned upon the unimaginable outcome that it's Clinton versus Trump let me be the first to say this after the votes are counted:
Clinton lost to Donald Trump. We told you so.
Now just picture that for a moment, how sad a day that will be. And think about all the factors that objectively tell us that this is the likely outcome if we send her in.
Investigations, Foundations, Bill, Wall Street, Banksters.
Let's do this right.

(7,820 posts)But I like the idea of preemptively saying cause if Trump wins- or if she wins and tacks as far to the right as I fear- I won't feel much like saying it.
Was considering just making it my sig line- we told ya so.

(68,539 posts)Every time, he wins a state, this time with Trump supporters so it is even less relevant, you all breathlessly report that no the primary is not over! But it is over. If you look at the math now, it is worse for him than ever. He will not overtake Hillary and has lost the Democratic primary...you all are delusional if you think otherwise. His only hope is to overturn the supers...and that won't happen either. Hillary won a bunch of states at the end including Ohio and pa...she still lost the primary.

Until it happens or doesn't happen, nothing has happened. Supers vote when they vote, not a second before.

(1,163 posts)Can you imagine if just one thing, if the superdelegates held their votes until all primary races were over?
That single element would have, I believe, allowed Sanders to be ahead at this point.
Other playing field levelers:
--No early states, all states on the same day or week, at least.
--Fairness doctrine equal time to all candidates, on cable and broadcast
--Robust debate schedule, cable and broadcast
--Fair voting and highly regulated and rules enforced.

(10,164 posts)And yes...superdelegates should STFU about their votes until they cast them. Better still, drop the whole rotten idea.

(6,286 posts)and I'll bet you Hillary mops the floor with Trump. Just eviscerates him. But neither my nor your prediction means anything until the votes are counted (or not counted).
