2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: The Good Fight [View all]H2O Man
(73,536 posts)6. As has been noted before,
the Clinton campaign did not consider Sanders a serious threat when he entered the campaign. Even in the fall, Bernie's growing strength was considered regional and temporary -- something that could be effectively countered by simply having their candidate "go to the left" for a time. It has been a strange reality for them, for the long-time Hillary supporters remember very well how the right-wing,rabid republicans have long attacked her for being a "Marxist." And here she is in a close contest with a socialist.
It's a fascinating era we live in!
