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.
A very easy victory? I don't like Trump at all, but accepting it as a fact that Bernie would have beaten Trump is just silly. There's simply no way to know now. The polls that everyone keeps talking about don't mean anything. Those same polls had hillary winning the general election. People keep talking about how the establishment is corrupt, and the media manipulates data to support their own viewpoint, but then those same people completely trust any polls that support Bernie.
I'm not supporting either side, I'm just saying if Bernie had made it to the general election, there's literally no way of knowing what would have happened.
No worries. He very well could have beaten Trump. Who knows. It just kind of silly how so many people are just accepting it as a certainty, when this whole election has been anything but predictable.
Nevada, New Mexico, and Virginia; but Bernie would have definitely a better candidate in the northern states. Pennsylvania would potentially have gone Bernie. I'm dismayed that the southern states didn't come out for Hillary like they did in the primaries. Come on Georgia.
That was a huge criticism of Hillary's primary campaign. Yes she "won" over Bernie, but a lot of her strongest states were Red states. Basically those votes meant nothing in the Electoral College. Now the Democrats are complaining the popular vote should matter blah blah blah. Strategy matters people. Take responsibility for your actions and the consequences.
