Hillary Throws Shade at Bernie: 'Fundamentally Wrong' About Democratic Party

[Amimnoch]

260. It was an incumbent party, but not incumbent candidate year.

The very fact that all of the other viable candidates out there actively decided not to engage in a contentious primary should have been a clue. What? Did everyone think that all of the other viable potential primary candidates just felt like sitting it out?? It was smart politics NOT to have a contentious primary for us in 2016, and the field of potential Democratic Party candidates both knew and respected it.

Not since FDR has the Democratic Party held the office for more than the 2 consecutive terms, and the Republican Party has broken that mold only 1 time (with Bush Sr. in 1988).

The only reasons that 2016 was even a potential year was the strength of the Democratic Party President leaving office, combined with the Republicans fielding such a horrendous candidate.

I can see your point, but respectfully would have rather had the "sad primary" and have a Democratic Party POTUS right about now.
