2016 Postmortem

She was not in office for NAFTA being first lady and all...and she spoke against the final version of the TPP...and while some Democrats voted for these agreements ( not TPP which has not come up for a vote), all Republicans vote for them...so there is more than that going on...first of all it is clear that the GOP cheated in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania....and rather than condemn the Democratic party once again which causes us to lose, Bernie ET Al should be working to stop the cheating and Trump. Why does Bernie target the Democratic Party relentlessly and not the Republican Party? He and his supporters should target Republicans and stop sowing discord. As for Nina, I live in Ohio, and she will have to move to resume her career. There is no outreach that will help here in Ohio. We have heard it all before. The folks that voted for Trump in Trumbull are making $9.00 an hour. if they are lucky and steel took a dive last year. My husband lost his job in fact. He got a new one so we are fine but many are not fine. People forget that Pres. Obama said he would 'fix ' NAFTA and other unfair trade agreements, but he didn't. Also, he was liked personally. But the TPP is viewed as a betrayal. Romney had actually cost real people jobs in Ohio and that hurt him too. So no one was prepared to vote for an equity guy. Along comes Trump promising to fix things so the voters took a chance...that is what happened. Many felt they had nothing to lose. I live in Trumbull County...my town went for Clinton by the way. I had hoped we would pull the election out in Ohio and elsewhere but it didn't happen here. The cheating in other states gave Trump the White House...I am not willing to tear up the Democratic Party because we lost a close election by GOP cheating.
