2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumCongratulations to team Clinton.
It's looking like she will be the eventual nominee. Bernie platform will have to be pushed by the movement, unless he can pull some miracle. He's likely to be walloped in South Carolina.
Get her to make concessions in her platform

(6,282 posts)Will be interesting to see what happens with PoC, but I guess I'm not so cynical to think that people vote based so heavily on ethnicity. The fact of the matter is that the Democrats do not have a deep bench and shallower still minority bench. That worries me greatly because it lessens the odds of having the right person with the right vision.

(8,748 posts)Than get used to a president tRump or Rubio. There is no evidence to support her ability to win nationally.
While a Democrat candidate has lost the GE with a positive trustworthiness and likeability number, no Democrat has ever won the GE with these numbers being negative.

(65,180 posts)It's a clear win for them. I still think Bernie should stay past Super Tuesday though because of so many southern states there. I feel Bernie is by far the best candidate and will continue to support him. Very encouraged by what I see even if he isn't the nominee.

(26,001 posts)Assuming Clinton is indeed the nominee, we'll have to support her against the psychopath nominated by the other side.
When she's in, the trick will be to make sure she doesn't drift as immediately right as Obama did (i.e., with his appointments).
And to make sure that she, like Obama, and the previous Clinton, don't create a massive GOP wave in the subsequent off-year elections...
