In reply to the discussion: Can we put it to rest that Hillary was a "bad candidate" [View all]quakerboy
(14,064 posts)And they did. A lot. They demonized her extremely effectively.
Sure, Russia tipped the balance, and without it we would have enough of an edge to take the EC, and no Trump in the white house. Misogyny also tipped the balance, and without it we would have had enough of an edge to take the EC, and no Trump in the white house.
But if we hadn't forwarded the specific candidate that half the nation had been brainwashed to see as an inhuman monster over the course of 3 decades, there would have been no balance to tilt. Trump was blatantly unqualified. Preposterously so. And he would have been seen as such against anyone other than a very solidly established boogeyman.
In reality it has virtually nothing to to with the actual real person Hillary Clinton. Qualifications or Charisma or Capabilities had nothing to do with anything. Can you think of anyone they've specifically spent more time brainwashing the culture to hate, aside from perhaps George Soros?
