Another look at how Clinton has managed to keep afloat, considering her non-progressive stances, and even reversal to the right. Very clever.

(12,689 posts)Sanders' weak performance with Democrats and minorities is why he lost the primary. No one can win the DEMOCRATIC primary without winning the Democratic base.
Besides, Clinton won most of the open primaries, so the argument isn't even relevant. I don't think there was really a difference between the open and closed primaries. Some states just didn't like Sanders and it had nothing to do with independents not being able to vote.

(20,317 posts)Remember the last Republican primary, when Mitt Romney managed to clinch the nomination with the support of nothing but the wealthy and the party establishment? It's a repeat of that. Of course, Romney lost the actual election, because... no one liked him but the wealthy and the party establishment. But there you go.

(15,250 posts)And still not sealed the deal. Early polls are too close to call regarding candidate negatives and the projected general election. Her greatest accomplishment Secretary of State is in a shambles and will probably be in litigation for years. The Democratic Party is hopelessly divided and the twenty million dollars will soon come due for those speaking fees. That is how it is done.
