In reply to the discussion: Hillary a weak candidate? [View all]Pope George Ringo II
(1,896 posts)It bears mentioning that one of the charges leveled against her in 2016 involved a too-cozy relationship with Wasserman-Schultz. She was always the establishment candidate which has some drawbacks, but she never really took full advantage of the benefits.
And it may be true that the Republicans enjoy every shot at Hillary, but they've never been even somewhat limited by reality in that respect and our bottom line is that the superior party lost the Presidency (with it, a SCOTUS seat), the Senate, the House, and too many state offices. You don't fix that by declaring that everything is fine and nothing needs to change. Honest criticism is necessary. I can live with actual disagreement on how we fix those things, but some of the screaming that everything was perfect is just a little too far out there for me to get behind.
