Can we bring back Hillary Clinton now?

The world needs her now more than ever. She was tarred and feathered and humiliated for the world to see and for what? Using a private server? So that foreigners couldn’t hack her computer?

That type of massive disinformation that took her out was new at the time, but enough years have gone by to admit that she didn’t really do anything wrong. I think it’s high time we being her back.

I think it is more that he waited too long and so Hillary picked all the “best people” for her campaign and that Obama wasn’t supportive because he thought Hillary would be better.

She was supposed to be conducting official government business on the secure .gov servers, not her private one. Whether that was a big deal is debatable. But the Republicans alleged that she was using a private server to cover up her shady dealings with the Saudis and bribes she was taking from foreign governments for favors as Secretary of State.

Barack Obama wasn't even in Congress in 2002 when the Iraq War was voted on, so he was never in a position where he had to take an official position on it. Hillary should have used that to highlight his inexperience and show that he was unproven and never in a position where he had to make tough decisions like she had. But instead she allowed him to control the narrative and paint her as a warmonger, because she's a lousy campaigner.

Bush lost because the economy was terrible in 1992. Most voters approved of his handling of the first Iraq War.

Clinton won by talking about balancing the budget, middle tax class cuts, and health care reforms...all issues that resonated with most voters.

The government was way behind on technology, she even called Colin Powell for advice and he told her it was fine, he did it too. It was not until after she was SOS that the laws were changed on electronic messages. It should be noted Ivanka did official government work on a Gmail address and no one gave a shit. Clinton testified for 22 hours on this, even citing the protocol for how to handle secure communications to the letter.

No we didn't r85. Not even close! Even MORE people came out for Trump this time than last time. BIDEN DID NOT WIN. He would not have "won" in 2016 either because the Democrats did not have this huge mail in vote fraud mechanism in place. They never expected Trump to win in 2016 so they made sure he was defrauded in 2020. Senile basement Joe and 80 million votes? While losing ALL the but one bellweather county. He can't even draw a crowd of 50! How stupid are you?

From 1980 to 2016, 19 counties voted for the winner of the presidential election every single time. The most impressive of those was Valencia County, New Mexico, which voted for the victor in every presidential election from 1952 to 2016.

But in 2020, 18 of these 19 “bellwether counties” voted for former President Donald Trump. Just one — Clallam County, Washington — voted for President Joe Biden.

Trump improved his national performance over 2016 by almost 20%. No incumbent president has ever lost a reelection bid if he's increased his votes. Obama went down by three and a half million votes between 2008 and 2012, but still won comfortably," he said . "If you look at those results, you see that Donald Trump did very well, even better than four years earlier, with the white working class. He held his own with women and suburban voters against all of most of the polling expectations, did very well with Catholics, improved his vote among Jewish voters. He had the best minority performance for a Republican since Richard Nixon in 1960, doing so well with African-Americans, and importantly with Hispanics."

Basham suggested the president's performance was so well, among a variety of demographics, that if he polled 100 independent, well-informed voters in a room, he believed 99 of them would say the data suggest Trump would win the election. "We know from the vote itself, the alleged vote, the alleged result, that something very strange has happened," Basham said.

In an op-ed in the Spectator , Bashman analyzed "peculiarities" from the election that lacked "compelling explanations." He outlined counting without observers, late-arriving ballots, failure to match signatures on mail-in ballots, and low absentee ballot rejection rates.

Even Obama wanted to do the right thing, but Hillary preferred (as the preference often is in US foreign policy) loyal jackboots to actual democracy in Latin American. She should fuck off.

R110 Bullshit. She was not the “least qualified”. Even if you disregard her time as FLOTUS, she was a Senator and Sec of State. She is far more qualified than both Obama and her husband.

However qualifications don’t make someone likable. She was a bad candidate. It reminds me of the episode of the Golden Girls when Dorothy applies for jeopardy. She aced the exam but in the words of the producer, “America won’t root for you”.

Biden if elected would have gotten us out of Afghanistan sooner.

Trump did not get us further in, his policy was an improvement over Bush/Obama. And I give praise to Biden for pulling us out on an expedited schedule.

R103 I’ll always believe that on paper Bernie was the stronger candidate to face Trump in 2016. Polls showed that a majority of voters wanted change, and Bernie like Trump represented change more than Clinton did. Bernie’s consistency and authenticity on trade policy also would have neutralized some of Trump’s appeal in the old rust belt. However, I’ve also become convinced that the Democratic Establishment would have never allowed Bernie to win even if he had been the nominee in 2016. They would have knifed him in the back the same way they did to McGovern back in 1972. Many big Democratic donors made that clear in 2019 and 2020 when they openly said they’d back a 2nd term for Trump rather than support Sanders. The media, the Wall Street donors, and the leaders of the Democratic Party would have torpedoed Bernie in favor of Trump had he been the nominee in 2016. There was 0% chance that Bernie would have won in 2016 even if he had been the nominee, unless he somehow made a connection with voters that allowed him to survive all of that friendly fire.

R89 i think people forget how ruthless the media has always treated her. SNL mocked her as a shrew relentlessly, to the point the character involved into a caricature of a caricature. The email crap was just that.

Let's be honest America, the older woman in a pantsuit brought out subconscious sexism. Before the backlash, I'm not saying all voters, or that was all of it, just that she faced a steeper uphill battle by default. The same criticisms have been thrown at Warren, Harris, Pelosi, etc. As if Bernie would've won? Are people fucking nuts?! Biden could've lost if Trump was slightly less shitty.

It's very easy for women to come across wrong. Too strong, they're a bossy cunt. Too stern, they remind people of a cat loving spinster school teacher they had. Too soft, won't get shit done. I still know men that will secretly admit men are better suited to be president. Polls show misogyny amongst younger generations is higher now than with boomers. It's just cloaked in better excuses.

I'm even guilty of this. It's just how it works.

R3, it had nothing to do with "guts". The far right crooked politicians and advisers have been successful in spinning lies that has now become a public belief about the Clintons. Like today with covid, a lot of people aren't interested in the facts or the truth. She understood that it would be divisive for her to run in 2020. As well, and it makes me sad to admit this, but I think we needed an old white guy who wasn't a crook to run. The fact that he was catholic also made the difference for some. There were Trump signs in my neighborhood in 2016 and Catholics here that I know voted for him, including their giant families of adult children. All the pussy comments and other nasty business dissuaded them, because he was a means to a religious end for them. Biden was able to get the votes of a lot of those types in 2020. I still don't think that the US is ready for a woman president, which breaks my heart. Given all the election fraud by state republican legislatures and elected officials, the candidate must be someone who appeals very widely and can win with large margins in 2024.

She doesn’t take any responsibility for the fact that her inner circle of friends and advisors included a sex predator who was being investigated. Bottom line is she has bad judgment and surrounds herself with bad people, and voters never trusted her.

[quote] According to Woodward’s new book, “Rage,” U.S. agencies had evidence Russians placed malware in the election registration system in at least two counties in Florida - St. Lucie County and Washington County. However, there was no evidence the malware was activated…The book also cites sources that say the malware was so sophisticated it could erase voters in specific districts.

And shortly thereafter, Trump met with Putin and Putin looked him in the eye and soulfully denied it so Trump believed him over the entire US intelligence community, CIA, NSA, you name it.
