I'm sure you're trolling, but...
Her credentials worked against her. She was as establishment as you can be, with no perspective on any major change from the viewpoint of the average person, just continuing on down the existing path.
The reason Trump got elected is the same reason Obama got elected, and it is the same reason Bush Jr. got elected, and Clinton before him: people want change.
- matwood 9y agoI think you're underestimating the damage the DNC did when they screwed over Sanders. A lot of the traditional democrats I know simply refused to vote after that. Sanders also offered the change you're talking about.
- Joeri 9y agoI'm actually pretty sure Sanders would have won against Trump, provided he got the necessary funding. I think he was too unpalatable for the money men and that's why the DNC swatted him down.
- matwood 9y agoI think you're right. Even Reason (a libertarian mag) had editors making the case for Sanders as the best libertarian option from the choices available. People I know who were not normally political were volunteering for Sanders. He had the groundswell populism that could have gone against Trumps.
