(6,974 posts)I said IF Pres. Obama had have gone through what Hillary did he'd have LOST. So would Bernie. ANY Dem Would have lost the presidency given the ridiculous amounts of interference that went on during the 2016 GE.
By the way, HOW would charisma have stopped the rethugs from crosschecking, voter-suppressing, voter disenfranchising hundreds of thousands of Dems off the voting rolls in certain swing states that tRumputin needed in order to win the electoral college? Charisma would have stopped the ruskies from interfering into our elections? Charisma would have stopped Comey from putting his thumb on the scale for tRumputin by not? Charisma would have stopped all of those voting machines from being closed down in places like North Carolina where there was at the time a thuglican governor who arranged to shut those voting machines down in Dem areas? By the way, Hillary barely lost NC to the swamp thing.
Slightly off-topic, but the next thing you'll be telling me is that a Dem more charismatic than Al Gore running for the presidency would have stopped Bush from winning Florida in 2000, when we KNOW that a Supreme court leaning RIGHT, hanging Chads & shenanigans courtesy of Jeb Bush/Catherine Harris had a MAJOR hand in Dubya "winning" Florida/the White House. The Dem candidate in 2000, no matter how charismatic, would have stopped the results of the 2000 election. A right-leaning Supreme Court, hanging chads and Jeb Bush/Catherine Harris all helped to give the presidency to the thuglicans. A charismatic candidate won't help the Dems win the White House if there's ruskie interference AGAIN (They've never officially stopped meddling per Clinton Watts) voter suppression ignored or dragged out on purpose by a tRumputin DOJ, with beauguard as AG riding as a racist, sexist civil/voting civil rights HATER like him in 2018 and possibly 2020 if reported to a tRuputin DOJ by the Dem part et al.
"I didn't read past."
Didn't even see where I said IF.
Never mind. Good Grief
