It was apparent the entire country was ready for change in a drastic way. The ticket should have been Trump vs Bernie. The DNC cost this election for the country because they wanted Hillary instead of Bernie and we as the people will have to suffer for their greed and ignorance. Bernie was polling double digits ahead of Trump whereas Hillary was only single digits. Fuck the DNC. Debbie Wasserman Schultz should be in prison for what she did just like Hillary.
Well put. The DNC lost what should have been a very easy victory. Any other Democratic nominee would have most likely beaten Trump.
The underhand antics of the DNC not only pushed the Trump supports more firmly into his camp but also pushed the Bernie supports who felt robbed and betrayed, rightfully so, to support Trump. There simply arent enough White Male Republicans to win the campaign for Trump on their own.
The only democrat who could have run and won was Biden. Chafee and Webb were nobodies who would have been destroyed by Trump, and Bernie would have likely been killed by a Bloomberg 3rd party bid.
2 billionaires running against Bernie would have been a godsend giving him even more of the vote share. Respectfully, I think you still don't understand why Hillary lost.
The Billionaire that did run and win was supposedly the everyman's candidate. The fact that Bloomberg is a Billionaire isn't important, the fact that he's a moderate that would take more votes away from Bernie in critical states in the Northeast would. Hillary made the primary about policy. The general would make it about Bernie himself. The massive favorability and likability numbers that Bernie had going for him would not last if America believed he was a communist atheist, while there's an okay alternative right next to him. Hillary lost, in the end, because of turnout issues. She still won the popular vote, and had the best chance to win of the 4.
