    She looked not too sharp in the debates. Trump looked like a grammar school bully. It's a shame two party Americans had to choose either one of them. We should have had the question "None of the above" on the ballot.

    She foolishly thought it would be enough to let Trump bury himself. She was wrong and cost her dearly.

    No one with any amount of evidence is going to sway you. I'm not going to expend any further energy on that task.

    More people wanted Hillary than any other Democrat. That's the way our system of government works. All Democrats had a vote in the primary and she won.

    Do you propose another system?

    Edit: Perhaps you could take over and tell us who to nominate. All our troubles and strife would be over and we would have the very best candidate you could think of. We wouldn't have to bow down whenever you passed and avert eye contact would we?

    As you know, you can't change this political system of two parties. I wish we had 5 parties that were all on equal footing but that will never happen. We really had no choice because both candidates sucked.

    I think that's bullshit. The differences between the two candidates were vast, even if you hated both of them.

    McDonalds sucks, and dog shit sucks. But I can differentiate between them, and I know which one I'd rather eat, and the choice leads to very different outcomes.

    I still think the two choices offered are bullshit. I knew Trump was a skunk from his prior business dealings, his stupid apprentice show and Hillary was stale and did not stand a chance to win because voters wanted a man to be President.

    If she would have listened to Billy and spend time in the midwest, she'd be president now. But really, imo it should have been Bernie running against Trump, not the black widow!

    I know, I just thought that the Clinton campaign/DNC didn't treat Bernie fairly. There was now way she would let any other Ind/Dem beat her in the primaries.
    I still think she could possible run again.

    Well, to be fair, Bernie isn't a democrat and only ran as a democrat to run for presidency and then when he was eliminated he went back to being an independent. He was basically using the democratic party for financial and exposure purposes. I know you don't like Clinton, but do you think it's fair what Bernie tried to pull? Clinton also has raised millions of dollars for the democratic party, just not for her.

    We always have several parties to choose from. It's just that voters are only really interested in two of the parties.

    Sly is the exception to the Golden Rule.

    Didn't treat him fairly is an understatement. It's a proven fact now they completely rigged the primary against him. Another reason a lot of Dems just didnt vote. He could've beaten Trump, but the DNC was too dumb to acknowledge the contrast between Bernie packing stadiums with young people, and Hillary campaigning in empty gymnasiums.

    Link? I don't think that is a proven fact at all. There were some things that one can point to as unfair - debate schedules, etc. - but the fact is that many more people voted for Hillary than Bernie, and debates on different days wouldn't have changed that.

    That is definitely true.
