Why the hell did hillary think this would be so easy???

[Logical]

Is she just so arrogant that she thinks she was annointed and that it was a sure thing?

She lost a 30 point lead in 2008 and apparently learned nothing from that experience!

This scares me more than anything else about her.

I hope we get a Bernie/Warren ticket!

1. The American people aren't the only ones who know the system is rigged. Hillary knows it too and

expected a free ride using the rigged system. Another possibility is because she is so out of touch with average Americans, she can't understand the anger directed toward her or the rest of the establishment and 1%ers.

2. I think she knew better than anyone that it wouldn't be easy. (nt)

[Warren Stupidity]

3. The only other candidates were a 74 year old self proclaimed socialist and some guy made out of

cardboard.* It was understandable that they thought this was a done deal.






* I like O'Malley but he was a terrible candidate.

[NorthCarolina]

4. Too much faith in the power of the establishment MSM to steer the election.

Social media short circuited their messaging advantage.

5. She's just an awful candidate. Leopards can't change their spots.

She was awful then, she's awful now, and while she has always seemed like a genuinely nice person on a personal level, lots of incompetent people are nice people.

6. Wall Street told her it was in the bag

She's the best candidate money can buy

[cui bono]

7. I think the Dem Party leadership had all decided she would be the nominee before it started

They allowed those who they knew had no chance to run. Biden didn't run this time, why not? VPs generally run for president. Where are the other big shots? No one threw their hat in the ring. O'Malley, yes, but he's not that well known and he also was running on breaking up the banks.

I think everyone just assumed it would be her. They are so accustomed to things as they are and so out of touch with the citizenry they didn't see it coming. They ignored OWS at their own peril.

8. It was just poor judgement at the time

.....like

Being Pro-charter schools

The Iraq War

The TPP

Anti-Gay Marriage

Wanting young black men "brought to heel."

Pro-NAFTA

Killing Qaddafi, to bring Democracy to Libya (it brought ISIS there instead.)


You name it, she's always wrong on everything. But she evolves. Then she screws up again.

And people want her to lead us...

9. It won't be Sanders-Warren

VPs are supposed to expand the base. Warren is wonderful, but Sanders will need to sweep more than the coastal northeast to win. The smart move would be a Great Lakes area moderate. I assume we have a few left.

11. At his age, he needs to pick someone we want as president as much as him.

Elizabeth Warren is not young anymore, but we sure want her as president.

Plus, msm loves her. She always get good press.

Many will vote for Bernie to get Warren next in line if she is willing.
