re: #148 lawhawk

She wasn’t soundly beaten by Obama 8 years ago. There’s a bit of revisionism there as well.

The ultimate delegate count was 2,272.5 to 1,978. That wasn’t so close, but the popular vote tally was, and if Michigan was counted, Hillary would have had a higher popular vote tally there.

She learned the lesson, and when it came to the 2016 race, she had it won after Super Tuesday, but Bernie was last to know. Clinton crushed Bernie by every metric, states won, popular vote, delegates, supers, etc. On delegates: 2,842 to 1,865. On votes: 16,914,722 to 13,206,428.

Still, the Bernie or Busters persist in thinking that they’re the future of a party in which they were soundly beaten head-to-head with Clinton.

Maybe crushing blue-on-blue isn’t the sure path to the WH. If we are to get rid of Trump in 4 years we need every shade, age, accent, plumbing, and class of Democrat we can mobilize.
