re: #109 thedopefishlives

I don’t think Bernie was electable, either. I struggle to think of a person I would rather have run than Hillary. By the end of the campaign, I was seriously impressed and amazed, to the point where I honestly felt I would actually be voting for her, instead of against Drumpf. I think klys nailed the rest of it.

I’ll admit. Wasn’t fond of her first because I still had bad memories of 2008 and Klys and thank you Klys for this pointed out to me how it wasn’t fair of me to call her a mere extension of her husband. I also learned a lot more about her and her record and I was just genuinely impressed. I do think that the hate for her is definitely unwarranted but as you say it was there. I don’t know either who would have made a good candidate. This stuff all runs in cycles anyhow. Honestly, I had this worry that if Clinton had won that we would be prime for a defeat in 2020 because of “fatigue” and the unlikelyhood of four consecutive two termers in the WH. I liked Sanders more at first too but I’ve actually gone from fan to really not being fond of the man. It’s too bad. I still do think Sanders has his heart in the right place most of the time but his head is another matter.
