In reply to the discussion: How Bernie's campaign contributed to Trump's win. [View all]INdemo
(7,020 posts)"Hillary, like Obama, has been fighting for progressive causes for years, but with the House in GOP hands there is an inherent limit on what can be accomplished, he wouldn't gotten nearly the votes that he did."
"dont think so"
this issue could be argued that Obama was more to Center/Right than what he campaigned as
One example was Obama said he would never allow Medicare or Soc Security on the table..and he lied,becasue they were
The TPP hurt Hillary because she was before it before she was against it.
Had Hillary not taken Wall St Money,Goldman Sachs money she might have pulled it off to the fact she was progressive.
Hillary moved to the left towards the end of her campaign with the College Tuition Issue,minimum wage,metioned the TPP a couple times but she never ever talked about the cheap Chinese Steel while she was in the rust belt of Ohio and Pa (which she was there once.)
So can we stop blaming Bernie Sanders for Hillary's lost becasue a big part of her loss was incompetent advisors and Managers
(John Podesta, Robby Mook)
Hillary Clinton's advisors got really dirty with Bernie Sanders with lies from these key advisors and that pissed off one hell of a lot of Sanders supporters that might have otherwise supported her.
Again can we please leave Bernie Sanders out of this
