(58,785 posts)MOM was a weak public speaker who was blown away by a far more charismatic speaker, Bernie Sanders. Yes, MOM is an incredibly better man, and public speaking is Sanders' only gift among a package of huge flaws, but voters who wanted an alternative to Hillary went for Sanders.
If MOM wants to be president he can damned well learn to own a stage. He should have before he arrived for the first debate. Hillary did; she has no special talent, but she worked at it until she succeeded.
Btw, this tired old whining and blaming other Democrats for MOM's failure here again 3 MONTHS BEFORE THE MIDTERMS? Thousands of children are still being held in detention camps in the desert, and the Trump organization is victimizing more every single day as people who were here legally are deported.
And then there's the little matter that authoritarians, even fascist leaners, are within reach of getting the control of SCOTUS they've worked toward for decades.
I do not admire your priorities. To put it mildly.
