2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumNow that we have a (presumptive) nominee and are behind her now.
Good race. Seriously. The Sanders people worked hard. Now let's kick Trump's ass.
Edited to say: Holy shit this is exciting.

(36 posts)I voted for Hillary in our primary, and several times I tried to write a post to ask you to stop taunting Bernie supporters, since most of them will vote for Hillary come November, but I kept deleting it.
The taunting doesn't create any unity at all. It just looks like bullying.

(7,299 posts)My goal has been realized. Now my second goal is the priority. That is to see Hillary assume the presidency. Fighting with Sanders supporters will not further this goal. So yes, I'm calling for a calming of emotions and unity. I do so fully aware that emotions are raw and it will be a long process.

(6,604 posts)Is MSNBC saying the convention is over?
They probably would. That's just one reason among many for my title.
She hasn't won the nomination. The convention is still over a month away.

(6,604 posts)Nor would they from someone who can't even spell the current president's name correctly. Maybe you still have time to fix that before the edit window closes.
The nomination occurs at the convention, not before.

I don't like other Ohioans giving the state a bad name.

(6,604 posts)Btw, you are aware that hidden posts are still accessible to members, right? In fact, they probably stand a better chance of being read that way. You know how people are.
I guess what I'm saying here is that you should go for it; that is, if you haven't already--and failed.

(45,850 posts)Television News Network Lobbyists Are Fundraising for Hillary Clinton
By Fang Lee - October 29 2015
Over the last two presidential debates, both Democratic and Republican candidates have asserted that the television news media is biased and has done a poor job informing voters of the most pressing issues in the election.
And while their focus is on things like the type of questions asked by debate moderators, they are overlooking much clearer signs of potential conflicts of interest. Fundraising disclosures released this month and in July reveal that lobbyists for media companies are raising big money for establishment presidential candidates, particularly Hillary Clinton.
The giant media companies that shape much of the coverage of the presidential campaign have a vested stake in the outcome. From campaign finance laws that govern how money is spent on advertising to the regulators who oversee consolidation rules, the media industry has a distinct policy agenda, and with it, a political team to influence the result.
The top fundraisers for Clinton include lobbyists who serve the parent companies of CNN and MSNBC.

(12,482 posts)So bye bye anti Democratic trolls. And Thor is the God I am thanking sin e the mighty banhammer will be swinging around here.
bvf
(6,604 posts)OK. Keep thinking that. It's charmingly naïve, even endearing.
By the way, there is no nominee right now. The convention determines that.
Also, it's incorrect to capitalize the term "god" in the context you chose. Ask anyone in the religion group.

(23,156 posts)really late July, the Convention hasn't happened yet.
Nor has the FBI finished with Hillary.
The email server thing is still hanging over her, no matter how you want to spin it.
Me? I'm never voting for Hillary. I can write in Bernie Sanders. I can still vote for all the down-ticket races. But I will never vote for her.
