Did Hillary Clinton lose because she was forced too far to the Left?

54. Thank you Tom

We are getting tremendous pressure here in my state to only run Pro Life Democrats because, hey women's rights are just too far left and turn off all the country church folks. I ask what the hell is good about a Democrat who does not think I can control my body and have the right to medical treatments for ANYTHING I need without the government checking it out and giving it's opinion or stopping me from doing what I need or want. That is not anyone I will ever vote for. Never again will I vote for someone who does not recognize me, those like me and our rights. Anyway....

This argument is driving me crazy. Of course the answer in the state over this one issue is much different that the answers to your questions. It seems that what I hear out here is that we have to run more conservative because Hillary lost to a cretin. I don't think it was at all due to the platform. It was because there are many many many people out there who would not have voted for her if she did everything they wanted. Like it or not, agree or not, the Clinton's have baggage. Both of them do and all I ever heard was that if the choice was between Hillary and anyone else they would vote for anyone else regardless of what they stood for.

As for all the crap flying around here about other candidates, progressive platforms and whatever flies for all the reasons Hillary lost....it all seems like flailing around. We lost, sometimes we win. We need to choose our candidates with purpose regardless of how we "feel" about someone else. I do not care who it is, it is never anyone's turn. She almost made it, I never thought she would even get that close considering what I was hearing out here but we lost so now we need to become more like the people we don't like? Never a good answer. We need a better, more likeable candidate who can stay away from trigger points or address them calmly and move on and keep on message. Only my opinion. I won't be back to answer the bad posts. This place is unrecognizable now and I cannot stay long. I have other things to do and other places where productive discussions can be found.
