(12,882 posts)I'm revealing myself as a Bernie guy (still am BTW). That said, I'd be thrilled to have Dame Hillary in the Oval Office right now. But that she's NOT there isn't her fault alone - not as I see it anyways. It's the fault of her whole campaign treating tRump as if he was a legitimate candidate instead of the snake oil barker that so MANY of us could see plain as day.
Sure, there's folks like ourselves that DO listen - listen and parse every syllable to the nth degree. But there are also so many folks that have to be grabbed by the collar and snarled at to bring them out of their SmartPhone stupor. Remember "Git 'em outta here! I'll pay your legal fees if you rough them up too much!"
Did the HC gang get visceral and whack those ignorant voter dolts dolts to their feeble senses? Nope - we took the high road - so high that too few even caught sight of it. "Hey! we had a legitimate CONtender ( in Trump) that emerged from the herd of the right..... Guess we should take him on as if he were of sound mind and principles." Right.
Yeah - yeah - I know.... she truly WON. It's just that we were too busy to raise holy hell - especially when those three states wouldn't allow vote recounts. I honestly do not think Trump even knows what "strategy" is. But his handlers told him to fling a bunch of populist bullshit that no matter HOW stupid a carrot it really was, the desperate slurped it up. So now - now we just sit and watch all the agencies that we trusted would watch out for us, being ground up and fed to the hounds of privatization - we get to hold our heads up all nobel like take solace in that we took the high road.
