In reply to the discussion: Hillary Throws Shade at Bernie: 'Fundamentally Wrong' About Democratic Party [View all]LovingA2andMI
(7,006 posts)How many months past The 2016 Democratic Primaries are we? One year plus 3 months.
However, some PUMA's (that name was dropped in this thread on purpose) cannot get over Bernie Sanders ran as a Democrat in the Democratic Primary as an Independent who Caucuses with Democrats in the Senate.
Almost as if these same Democrats would be "Happy Happy Joy Joy" if Bernie Sanders Caucus with the Republicans in the Senate instead as an Independent. If Bernie did (which he would not) the Affordable Care Act TODAY would no longer be the LAW OF THE LAND.
However, it's like biting the nose to chew off the whole face moment in time.
Hillary was not the candidate in 2008. That is why Barack Obama rightfully beat her -- point, blank, period -- and he was a Democrat.
Hillary did not become a better candidate during the 2016 primaries. This is why Bernie Sanders as an Independent was able to challenge her until the end of the Primary.
Hillary became a better candidate after the primaries in the General Election in 2016. HOWEVER, Hillary could not get over her Ego to offer the guy who gave her a "run for her money" in the primary Bernie Sanders -- the V.P. Slot.
Hell -- Bernie likely WOULD NOT HAVE ACCEPTED THE SLOT. However, what could it have done for her to offer it to him?
END THE DISAFFECTED MILLENIALS vote that was against HER in the 2016 General Election. It's called an opportunity to secure the Oval by throwing out an Olive Branch to HEAL the rifts in the Democratic Party.
Instead, she picked Tim Kaine. Enough Millenials either not voted at all, voted for Trump (which was downright awful), voted for Jill Stein (wasted their vote) or voted for Gary Johnson.
The end result --- is TRUMP IN THE OVAL.
Hope Hillary makes (DEEP SARCASM) plenty of $$ off her book. Meanwhile, this does NOTHING to help Democrats take back the House in 2018, less known the Senate -- POINT, BLANK, PERIOD!!
