2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: I am Very Disappointed with the Democratic Party [View all]mrdmk
(2,943 posts)90. I was accused of being hyperbole by a Clinton supporter concerning the outcome of Arizona
It just wreaked of the year of 2000 that allowing a government not chosen by the people to exists. It was not a good time in the history of this country. Nine months into that administration on September 10, 2001 the President had less than a 50% approval rating. The next day this country made history worldwide. One of the worst days everyone living at that time will remember.
Then 2004 had occurred. John Kerry quickly conceded the nomination, once again at the behest of a Clinton supporter. Then matters of this country got real ugly, two prolonged wars, no regulation on anything and a major crash that affected the world. This administration was doing everything they could to stop it and lay the initial problem on Obama. It did not work.
People lost a lot because of the above events, some of those people even lost their lives. We do not need any kind of election fraud in this country for the simple reason if it affects us, it affects the rest of the world. This country is too powerful to screw with that type non-sense.

The polls for the NY primary were very good. The exit polls were misleading.
