In reply to the discussion: HRC/Democrats Lost Due to WRONG Message [View all]arikara
(5,562 posts)117. Take yourself back to the primary
where polls showed that Bernie would have beat Trump by 16 points and that Hillary would lose.
Without getting into whether or not it is true, Bernie supporters believe he was cheated out of the nomination. Hillary and her supporters continued beating up on Bernie people and tacking right to court the Bush people. They even said they didn't need the Bernie people.
That is why she lost the election, and that is why the democratic party lost perhaps as much as half their base. Democrats are never going to get people back if you keep calling them stupid.

To your point, my ex-wife's mother, a life-long DEMOCRAT, loved sayin' she would vote for Satan over Hillary! (She voted for Jill Stein.)

Hillary won the popular vote by over 2 million so far and Trump does NOT have a mandate

Nah, the GOP will find a way to blame it on the Dems before the Dems point out it was the GOP
