The consulate security is a fair question and it falls on Hillary as the leader at the helm. But that’s as far as I’ll go. It is pretty clear to me from our response on the ground to response in the days afterward that State was caught between the CIA and a hard place with the annex and the nature of the attacks. No one wanted attention drawn to what the CIA was doing in Benghazi - either physically or their actions. And the annex security was pressured to stay in place to defend the base of operations for those activities
Actually think it might have been closer. Yes, would have been nice not to hear about all the other BS.
And she may be gearing up to run in 2020. And before anyone yells at me - name someone on the Dem side who will beat her out.
People just hate Hillary. Hate. White hot hate her. And have for 30 years. I don’t want to start a flame war here, but I don’t think that the Dems truly understood, or perhaps they too easily tried to explain away, how deeply and sincerely people hate that woman. If you ask me to name a more thoroughly and consistently hated person over the last 30 years, I’d struggle to name someone ahead of her. The Clinton Foundation stuff didn’t help. The Bill shit has never stuck to her, even for people like me, again, who detest her.
It’s utterly inexcusable that they’ve allowed themselves to become what they are today - fractured, rudderless and damned near bankrupt. You couldn’t have scripted it any better than what they’ve done to themselves.
Cory Booker, Elizabeth Warren, and Kamala Harris for sure. Deval Patrick and Joe Biden would have a legit shot also. She's done, no chance the Democrats go in that direction again.
Democrats should just bite the bullet and nominate Mitt Romney. Romney/Biden for a Better America. #romden. There. Slogan and hashtag. It writes itself. It’s still more left than Trump/Pence, and has a shot.
Young democrats will not vote in large enough numbers for a candidate that doesn't have a strong progressive platform on at least one issue. That was part of Hillary's problem, she wasn't much of a progressive, relative to the democratic perspective.
She wasn't much of anything. Seriously, what was her campaign based on, "I'm a woman, vote for me" or "I'm not Trump"
Offer free college and I think you get most young Dems to come out and vote. Not sure how that would effect the older dems though.
Don't know enough about Patrick really to comment, but of those listed, Booker would be the best bet IMO. Still think D's best hope would be to get behind a more-moderate candidate from middle-America. I don't think they are smart enough to do that though.
Well, a few years ago no one thought America was dumb enough to vote for an aspiring far right autocrat either, and yet here we stand.
The Russian shit and the email server stuff had very little to do with me not liking her. I believe she is a terrible, terrible human, but yeah, the I'm a woman and not Trump stuff lacked imagination. I believe the middle class thought he was the best thing for them. The make America great stuff is what middle class American believers in. It's what me and my coworkers talk about all the time. We used to get most of our equipment from companies that made their product in America. For a couple of years now, we've seen most of our stuff is made in Mexico, and it isn't less expensive. What's the point in making everything in Mexico if it is the same price?
