Trumpies support whatever trump supports. Not the other way around. They have no ideology besides trump. If trump supports a liberal idea like... Oh I don't know.. A trillion dollar stimulus package... http://pubx.co/xbFJhE ... Trumpies and liberal progressives will join forces to get it passed. The true losers are the conservatives |

The debate over whether or not Bernie would have been victorious when Clinton was not is now moot. What's done, is done. Time to let it go and move on with dealing with reality as it is. |

You aren't worried about them making the same mistake next election? Remember how hard we tried to convince them? Because from what we see right now, you know 2AM will, CT will, Wilmy will, Mystique will, coverpoint will, if they don't pull their heads out of their collective asses and own up for this loss. Which is the very reason why I'm rubbing this loss in their faces so they never forget it and keep losing. Learning from the past is never moot. Change is needed and the other thing this election proves is practicality is more effective than politeness. Edited by Eddo26, Nov 11 2016, 02:17 PM.

Nice spin. Meanwhile even MSNBC is reporting the DNC is in chaos. |

Clinton put Trump over the top. Sanders could have beaten Trump because they both addressed working class economic issues and Sanders did not have Trump's heavy negatives. Whether Sanders could have beaten Jeb Bush is much more open to question. Both issues are moot. |

Take your 'practicality' and shove it. Everything 2am wrote to you is true. You'd rather bask in your perceived glory while the SCOTUS gets changed for a generation or better, just so you can gloat for a little while. You suck. |

correct... and Bernie will NOT be back in 2020.. Look for a new outsider type from the left... both sides are tired of establishment candidates.. |

Trump needs to focus more so on the male vote. He should have nationalized the Boy Scouts when they decided to admit girls. Harambe4Trump AKA "FASHY" | |

They may make the same mistake in the future. And again. And again. If they do they will eventually learn or they will cease to be politically relevant. We can't redo the past, we can but affect the future. Edited by Opinionated, Nov 11 2016, 06:00 PM.

Well, it appears I was correct months ago about the election. Although I did not predict a Trump victory, after Bernie Sanders stepped down and came out of the White House meeting and half-heartedly endorsed Clinton I made the following observations: Sanders probably would have defeated Trump if he got the nomination instead of Clinton. The massive support he received from young voters was lost almost immediately after he sold out and a great number of young (potential Democrat) voters who lost faith with Sanders would not vote in the election. Black voters, after riding the 8 year high with Obama, would not come out in the same numbers as they did the last two elections. I believed that even with the young and black vote drastically decreased for Clinton she would still win because she would get most of the Hispanic vote. I was really surprised to see that approximately 27% of Hispanic voters voted for Trump. Since the election was so close that probably lost her the election (think Florida). No matter who won between Clinton and Trump the election was a lose - lose scenario. There doesn't seem to be anyone in this country fit to be President. This election has proved that the bar has been lowered quite a few rungs and may never go any higher in the future. |

The most interesting thing to watch is the media's inadequate reaction. WikiLeaks isn't mentioned. Bernie getting cheated by the DNC isn't mentioned. Democrats choosing a corrupt candidate who's even more hated than Trump, isn't mentioned. In short, no self-criticism at all. The only reason they will point to, is rednecks and racists. The most clear voice right now, I think, is Glenn Greenwald, who summarized it perfectly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39ZXFxjhzus |

On the question of who would have won if Sanders had run against Trump, the answer is speculative, but very convincing: Reason 1: When polled at the same time, Clinton had a 2% projected lead over Trump while Sanders had a 12 point lead. (Source: http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/why-does-sanders-do-better-clinton-against-trump) Reason 2: Clinton's lead from that moment expanded, because of Trump's scandals, and was eroded by her WikiLeaks and DNC scandal. Sanders' lead would have expanded for the same reason, but there was no corresponding scandal big enough to erode his lead. Reason 3: There would have been no protest vote on the left. Hillary Democrats would have rallied behind Sanders, whereas Sanders voters were cheated by the DNC and ridiculed as "parens' basement-dwellers", personally by Clinton (Source, WikiLeaks) Reason 4: Sanders would have gotten the mainstream vote in a contest against Trump, as well as the anti-establishment vote. Reason 5: Sanders would have gotten a boost from the African-American and female vote that he didn't have in the primaries. Trump would have been massacred, and America would have a true progressive president. If only the Democratic party didn't screw over its best most competitive candidate, and its true grassroots base, they would have won. The saddest thing is, they're so out of touch, they will never realize their mistake. |

I viewed the video before seeing your post. Thanks. And I am glad you mentioned WikiLeaks. The whole thing with forcing Hillary Clinton was a conspiracy between participants who tried to make sure it happened for her. And I rejected the Democratic Party, as a whole, on my general-election ballot. I simply responded to what was earned. |
