2016 Postmortem

was very dishonest and manipulative in his rhetoric. There was no way he could deliver on any of his fantasyland proposals -- just look at him now accepting $10 hr minimum wage when he excoriated Clinton for her $12 hr proposal. That's the kind of dishonesty he allowed to excite people while maligning Clinton for being more realistic.

He was not an honest broker.

It's a rotten shame he was allowed to cause such divisiveness in our party.

And thanks to his unproveable accusations which Trump thanked him for, we now have a true madman. It occurred to me that Kanye West was recently put on a 5150 psych hold for doing similar things as Donald -- rambling insults and crazy talk with a microphone on stage. Crazy talk in public gets other people locked up, but not Donald. Listening to him tonight at his rub-it-in-your-face rally just shows again how insane he is.

This is now the second election that a third party/outsider has influenced to no good end. Gore was a real loss to Democrats and progressives. It's pretty obvious now that living in a Bush/Trump world is preferable to them.
