Dec 2019

Clinton has been polarizing since the 90s. Nothing changed that. Just brushing that off as if an entire decade didn't' happen is ust.. weird.

Just because Obama narrowly outdistanced Clinton that doesn't mean that people saw her as the second coming of Joe Lieberman

.

Since you never clarify what you mean by"Second coming of Joe Libermann" I can't really either way.

But if you mean Clinton was seen as the poster child for the establishment when there had been over a decade of anti establishment sentiment... yeah. She was. That is just how that was and still is. and no ever needed Sanders to say this.

This seriously bugs me. We keep ignoring history and then wonder why we lose to guys like Trump and bush

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
