2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumLast Night As I Listened To The Post Debate Commentary....
on MSNBC - the talking heads were critical of Romney for injecting himself into the fray and making an issue out of Trump's tax reports being made public.
Someone made the comment that maybe Romney might be the consensus candidate at a brokered Repug convention when someone else said - No - Romney was a loser and Parties don't put losers up again.
If that be the case - Hillary was a loser as well. Obama took her down in the race where she was again supposedly the 'presumptive nominee'. How is is that Hillary gets a second chance at the brass ring when she blew it the first time?
She had proven herself the last time out as being a loser. Why is the party taking a chance on her again?
There is too much as stake in 2016. Even more now with Scalia's passing. I'm worried that this will work against the Dem Party. I just don't get it.

Your premise is false.

This is all you got? Hillary is a loser?

I also don't think she blew it the first time. She went up against what will go down as one of the greatest campaigns in history.
Hasn't Sanders lost more elections than Clinton has been in? Didn't he then return to run for those same seats again? Do you think Sanders deserved those "brass rings" considering how many times he blew it?
This kind of removes all doubt as to who the talking heads are talking to.

It's supposed to be for the people; not for the corporations. Anyone who has a problem with that doesn't belong in the Democratic party.

(196 posts)I think the difference is Hillary lost the primary to PBO, she didn't lose a general election contest.
