In reply to the discussion: Sanders: We need to push the Democratic Party to once again be the party of the people [View all]Cha
(302,367 posts)59. We lost to a guy that the M$M gave Billions of $$$$ in free air time
to. The M$M wanted the guy. Comey/FBI wanted the guy, The Russians wanted the guy, wikigdleaks wanted the guy, those who purged Dem voters wanted the guy, the gop voter suppression wanted the guy.
And, trump lied his damn head off to get it.. he wants the power.. he just acts stupid 'cause he is.
We lost to the guy that the m$m worked over time to normalize while harping on Hillary's emails ad nauseum.
And, she still was doing good until comey came out against DOJ's advice.. at the 11th hour with what.. ? More damn emails you say?! Fuck Yes!
