Hell we even learned from leaked documents her campaign instructed the major networks to focus more on Trump as they thought he would be the easiest candidate for her to beat.
- loonster 5y agoMaybe they were correct, and a non-Trump canidate would have won by a larger margin.
- geoduck14 5y agoAre you suggesting that Trump being president was Hilary's fault? Like... we could have had a better president than Trump if not for Hilary?
- zdragnar 5y agoI don't know if Trump would have gotten the Republican nomination if he hadn't gotten so much extra airtime and coverage during the primaries- not only from news media, but late night news comedians praying he would get it so she had an easy win. Likewise, her campaign had some phenomenal missteps, like never visiting a fairly rural swing state because they just assumed (wrongly) that she would win, while wining and dining megadonors in states that would never have voted for Trump like California. Her and president Obama's obvious disdain for rural people (as evidenced by the "bitter clingers" and "basket of deplorables" quips among other incidents) made democratic establishment politicians rather disliked. Personally, I think there are quite a few democrats who could have beaten Trump in 2016.
