(6,976 posts)Hillary did "lose" as you said.
However, look at all of the extenuating circumstances that caused her to "lose" to tRumutin.
Minus the Comey shenanigans, Bernie and ANY Dem--even FDR--would have lost to tRumputin. Now, IF the 2016 GE was fair--different president. I knew going in that voter suppression was going to be "insane." But after reading about what happened in WI, MI., PA. Ohio and of course FL, It made me sick literally to see all of those votes purged/crosschecked off the Dem voting rolls.

Hillary lost the election by 70,000 or so votes, and when you think about all of that voter suppression that took place in those battleground states coupled with whatever ELSE the ruskies did to interfere in our GE--yuck--makes me sick knowing that tRumputin is "occupying" the White House thanks to the GOP, Comey and tRumputin's blackmailing boy toy/crush putin tang.
"Oh, and, that 3-in oppo-research - how do you know that?"

You can only imagine the anti-semitism Bernie would have faced coming from that fat, drunken, woman-abusing, nazi bannon times 20 because as we know, tRumputin got over $2 Billion in free air time, and twittler would have pounded whatever lies and nasty memes bannon told him to (Bernie's 1972 essay) or continually point out that he voted against the Amber Alert bill many times, pointed out that Bernie's been in the Senate 25 yrs, plus throw in the red-baiting tapes, pictures of Bernie making various pro-communist/socialist comments, bring up and smearing his wife Jane, and more commie/socialist memes for effect. Of course most in the media would have run with what would be considered salacious (Bernie's '72 essay/Voting against Amber), while NOT bothering to fact check self-professed p***y-grabbing, tRumputin. I remember one news anchor saying that since tRumputin told so may mistruths (Many in the media never bother saying he LIED) SO much, that she/he didn't bother pointing out his alleged "mistruths" because there were too many to correct. Most in the so-called "liberal" media that doesn't exist did a horrible job fact-checking tRumputin.
But then again, all I mentioned about Bernie would have ended up being a moot point because a coup took place; the election was RIGGED, STOLEN, Voter-suppressed and interfered/tampered with (ruskies), as I feel that NO Dem was going to win the 2016 General Election.
