2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: What people are missing. [View all]Mary Mac
(323 posts)192. let it ride out
When I was an Obama supporter I really hoped Hillary would drop out sooner but she didn't and she had some last minute blue collar surges. Over the years I have seen third party candidates help (Perot) and hurt (Nader) the Democrats. I have come to appreciate candidates on both sides - Carter and Ford. And I have voted green as well as Republican. So let this go round on. Bernie will do well in the west and postpone the horror misogeny she has waiting for her. And we women will have her back.
