(21,506 posts)More votes was not enough and had she been a better candidate it would have been very difficult to vote for Trump.
Her negatives gave enough cover for him to slide through.
She was and remains a terrible candidate. There is no doubt she would have been world's better than Cheeto Jesus but blaming the far left for a shit candidate is silly.
There is also nothing close to any assurance her presidency would not have destroyed the Dems for decades. All she had to do when she got in office is cozy up to the bankers, something she has a tendency to and that would have destroyed the Dems going forward.
At least with Trump we can point our fingers and say how is that working out for you. There is no guarantee were the shoe on the other foot that finger would not be pointed at us.
