1. I was thinking recently along similar lines

Yes, I will come and say that she was not the ideal candidate. The email fiasco - I wish never happened.

But then I stop and think: whatever her flaws were, Whiny Donny's were worse. At every step that he took many Republicans shook their heads and thought that his candidacy was over.

And when it come down to it: she did not lose the elections; Trump won.

There are too many people in this country that are full of rage, feel that someone cheated them of, what, their birthright. And using Trump to tell the rest of us F**k you was what they wanted.

There were enough of them in strategic locations to tile the results. And, yes, too many Sanders supporters stayed home or voted for him. I don't know how many of them were in WI, PA, and MI.

But it is true that Jill Stein had more votes than the difference. At least in Michigan, I think.
