I've been following politics for a long time and without any doubt no presidential candidate had to overcome the bullshit and double standard attacks she had to. What was done to her was almost criminal, starting with the NY Times getting in bed with Bannon and the Clinton Cash author almost the minute she announced her run.<br /><br />She couldn't do an interview, press conference or debate without having her honor and integrity questioned every goddam minute. She had the stupid email FBI inquiry - something that everyone knew from day one was nothing - hanging over her like a dark from throughout the primary and then even into the general.mmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-30467876393433558042017-06-19T10:16:45.146-04:002017-06-19T10:16:45.146-04:00A convenient story from HRC's campaign manager...A convenient story from HRC's campaign manager, who, in my opinion, is more responsible for the loss than HRC herself.<br /><br />538 wasn't any more right in predicting the election than anyone of the other major pollsters/analysts.hardindrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05275899305949454964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-83032002160671007862017-06-19T08:21:36.714-04:002017-06-19T08:21:36.714-04:00You quote a hit piece on Clinton.

She was unable to assert her positives in the face of relentless Wikileaks, social media, and conservative smears. <br /><br />It frustrates me that you have no appreciation for the difficulty she had dealing with the relentless garbage and think talking economics a bit more would have turned it all around.

Not aggressively bringing up Trump's business failings and atracking him on his deep, persistent, and current ties to drug/traffickers, con-men, mobsters, and gangsters was a mistake.

I think it is unwise for a candidate to demonize millions regular Americans as "deploribles." I believe that if the candidate hadn't made that statement, she might have won. Of course, there are tons of other factors that led to the outcome, some in the control of the candidate (i.e. having bad advisors, running a poor campaign, saying things poorly, etc.), and some that weren't (i.e. a deluge of "fake news," email stupidity from The NY Times and WaPo, Russian election meddling, cable news' embrace of Trump, James Comey, etc.) I believe if HRC hadn't done the things that were in her control during the election, she would have won.hardindrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05275899305949454964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-58268885314709583452017-06-18T12:45:03.951-04:002017-06-18T12:45:03.951-04:00Latinos went 79% for Clinton, voting in record num...Latinos went 79% for Clinton, voting in record numbers.

The meeting with Kislyak was witnessed by Carter Page. A "brush by" in tradecraft could be to pass information surreptitiously, if it wasn't to actually say something to him. So it is far from innocent just because it is brief. The oddness here is that Sessions cannot seem to remember even major, important things, and that makes his forgetting suspicious, the kind of forgetting that would cause relatives to worry about the onset of dementia. <br /><br />The press has been far more neutral and forgiving of these failures of candor than the various blogs. Does Session deserve the kind of pretzel twisting Somerby engages in, to preserve the fiction that these are innocent omissions? Not when you add the, all up and see the pattern and the kinds of things he "forgets" and consider his motive and the nature of these proceedings. In that larger context, this isn't about the press rushing to judgment. Sessions has been covering up.

Just like Watergate was based strongly on the leaks by Deep Throat. <br /><br />The investigations are being staged because of the obvious crimes committed during the election, including the hacking and release of information via WikiLeaks, the lying during FBI vetting of appointees, and the current obstruction of justice. The existence of these crimes is obvious. The evidence and proof of who committed them and why, who was complicit and who was not, remains to be verified, but the crimes are apparent for all to see. So there is little point to saying that there may not be crimes. Are we to pretend Podesta's emails were never leaked, that Hillary was not kneecapped by Comey, that the Orbis dossier didn't exist?

Not jobs, not their declining incomes or regional economies.<br /><br />This is consistent with what a lot of us hear when we talk to people we know who voted for Trump. They talk about those people getting something for nothing, voting Democratic because of the freebies, immigrants ruining America, etc.<br /><br />Somerby tried to tell us we were wrong about this. He is the one who is mixed up about Trump voters. I believe his desire to believe that Bernie can form a coalition uniting Trump voters and progressive Democrats may have blinded him to reality.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
