(10,173 posts)But this is your opinion, which had no real bearing on reality. I won't cite 2008 AGAIN in this thread.
There's a reason Clinton won with older millennials and other demographics among the base . Her ideas resonated, her competency and grasp on the issues impressed Democrats. Not just one or two. Unless you're suggesting that in a year where populism was the rage, Clinton's pop vote win and thrashing of her opponent is only down to establishment shenanigans. Yes, do tell those (approx)) 4 million that their choice was only down to what "the establishment" wanted.
Clinton talked about paid family leave, universal pre-k, Alzheimer research funding, her scope was massive so she resonated among a cross-section of the base. This wasn't due to rigging or some Coronation, despite what some would want us to believe.
