"Hillary was a razor thin margin over the worst candidate to ever get a nomination. Why would we do that again?"
IF Pres. Obama had gone up against what Hillary did, he'd have LOST. Bernie would have lost. Anti-Semitism, and a 2 inch dossier that nazibannon allegedly had would have been used against him, and the ruskies would have still done their thing. In fact, several people who were running Pro-Bernie websites and Bernie-related social websites kept trying to get the word out that russian bots, etc. were spanning Bernie's websites, sending out fake/negative news about Hillary and also sewing the seeds of discontent between Bernie/Hillary supporters on Bernie sites. Even Bernie brushed ruskie interference off as late as December of last year. But more recently, he says that the rukies did interfere and may still be meddling. The GOP was voter-suppressing, voter-disenfranchising, voter-crosschecking Dems off of voting roll like crazy. What the ruskies did was horrible, the way they put their thumb, ass, foot all over the scales to elect tRumputin. And if those things weren't bad enough, WikiLeaks, sexism, and the Comey CIA meddling, and the corporate media covering the fake email and fake Clinton Foundation scandal of course didn't help. IF Hillary hadn't have faced those hideous things, she'd have been our 45th president.
Lastly, no matter WHO the Dems run in 2020, they'd better get people out to vote (That's if our votes count and we can vote), and try as best as they can with a tRumputin DOJ and with beaureguard as AG, work on voter suppression tactics on steroids this next time around, because we know the GOP will be getting "help" from a tRumputin DOJ and from AG beauguard who doesn't like it when Dems vote, let alone when minorities vote. WHAT role will the ruskies have in our next two upcoming elections in 2018 and 2020? In front of the Senate Intelligence Committee a few weeks ago, Counter-terrorism expert Clinton Watts said that the ruskies are still meddling, cyber-attacking, and God knows what else--and still making trouble within in the Dem party.

It's a nice idea, but I think we need new blood. We have a lot of upcoming stars!

Warren is less than two years younger than Clinton, and the poster has no problem with her age.

If you're using Trump as the standard of what's acceptable or a good idea, I question your judgement

The poster pointed out two issues they had with Clinton when expressing a preference for Warren.
