2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumWay to screw up a great week, Bill. Bernie fans were migrating
over to Hillary at a steady clip. Warren sizzled on the stump. Trump was ducking nazi golf balls and Mexican flags in Scotland... What were you thinking visiting the US Attorney investigating your wife?
At the very least, it let Trump redirect the campaign narrative. And it put Clinton and Lynch on the defensive for no reason.

(5,636 posts)The fact is that people run into each other all the time. An attorney might run into a judge at a restaurant and say hi, two politicians running for office might run into each other and say hi, an ambassador might run into a controversial public figure and say hi, etc. This issue is nonsense.

(12,675 posts)who are ALL praying for an indictment to save them from Clinton, actually considers this is a serious investigation. Lynch is a family friend. It is a NOTHING, and you aren't going to make hay out of thin air. Sorry.
And for the record? Even if this was REAL and not just more right-wing political theater ahead of an election, Clinton getting indicted would NOT mean a win for Bernie. It would mean a new primary, or it would mean Clinton asking her supporters and delegates to switch to someone else--presumably her VP in all but name, Elizabath Warren. My guess is that Elizabeth Warren might change her mind about running if she didn't have to run against Clinton. See, they're FRIENDS. The kind that visit each other and hang out socially? Warren adores Hillary and vice versa. She didn't want to run in part because she didn't want to be a spoiler for her friend's last chance at governing this nation. Warren has plenty of time, after all. She can wait
But either way, if Clinton gets indicted, her supporters will choose whoever she nominates as a successor. Because we trust her. Always have, always will. And MY guess is that she ISN'T going to tell us all to support Bernie Sanders. lol
