2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumIs the Clinton Campaign in Bagdad-Bob-mode now ?
The MSM says "the race might be tightening" but we are way beyond that. The race was so tight in Iowa that they flipped coins. Then the first of many landslides happened in New Hampshire.
2 months later, Sanders is blowing out Clinton in caucuses and winning by 10+ in primaries. That isn't "tightening."
Nevada, an early "win" for Hillary, has flipped to Sanders and now NY, the Baghdad of the Clinton campaign, is likely to fall. We heard from CNN and others that the Clinton campaign is about unleash their imaginary arsenal of things about Sanders that haven't already been tried for 5 months, a secret weapon stash of ultra-smears and distortions that will finally beat back the invasion. And this torrent of gaffes, complaints and petty nonsense will allegedly stop the fall of their Baghdad.
So if I hear Team Clinton correctly: they aren't losing, they have supporters and weapons they haven't used yet, victory is inevitable and any talk to the contrary is laughably silly. It all seems so familiar...

(4,667 posts)Like it or not, they have set up a system where they are guaranteed to be the "winners" who always win.
Baghdad Bob would have been executed had he told the truth.
Keep that in mind, the reporters, etc, are reporting the way they do, for their families, mortgages, jobs.
If they reported Sanders wins they would be unemployed. Do you have the money to hire them?

(6,007 posts)That is something they are constantly whining about, all this supposed damage Bernie is doing to Hillary. Well, since Bernie will be the nominee, shouldn't they be following their own advice and stop trying to damage him? I mean, what's fair is fair.
And since Hillary and her minions will never stop with the lies and smears, they should stop the whining about Bernie.

Where world leaders hobnob with dictators and criminal thieves, and its all a big joke on the planet.
