I've said before, H was the candidate that the party "owed" the nomination to. She had carried the water for a long time. She had loyally stepped aside when an unknown swooped in at the last moment in 2008. This time, they "owed her" the nomination and the party nominated someone with very high negative ratings, someone that a bunch of Americans were just not going to vote for, even if the alternative was an abrasive immature clod.
Like Dole in 1996, to whom the Republicans "owed" the nomination, H also went down in defeat.
I would hope that both parties would learn that the nomination is not "owed" to anyone.

There's always a lot of "next one up" with the political parties although the "next one up" for the "Rs" last time was probably JEB.

Don't forget McCain too.

I found this editorial interesting & informative. Nothing new revealed regarding power in a party. Money = power.

Here's the real bombshell revealed in Donna Brazile's book about the Dems - CNBChttps://apple.news/AQUdvQj7URBmPmCmkpsomLA

Well said TW and absolutely true. I have voted since Nixon vs Humphrey and can say without reservation that Trump and HC were the worst two choices in my lifetime and maybe in the future of American politics.

Irony is that Bernie was less moderate/more extreme than HRC, but Bernie would probably have beaten the Trumpster anyway.

Her negatives were sky-high and solid as a rock.

for spilling the beans on the Clinton campaign railroading Bernie?
Donna Brazile might well have an accident, if you mean has an accident.

The notion of the Clinton Murder Incorporated nonsense would be amusing if it weren't so pathetic. I despise both of them to the depth of my soul but for Pete's sake, the very idea is ridiculous.

Not that I disagree with you regarding Dole, but....

1) He had spent YEARS in DC as a Senate leader
2) He had actually run and lost twice


The latter especially used to be important for the Republicans. Nixon lost in 60 and won in 68/72; Reagan lost in 76 and won in 80; Bush lost in 80 and won in 88; Dole lost in both 80 and 88 and won in 96.

Indeed, the only 'first time' candidates the GOP has nominated post-1964 were Bush 43 and Trump, who both won.

I just do not understand that at age 70+ the Clintons will not retire and go away and spend time with their daughter and grandchildren. The same applies to the Bushes. The country needs new leadership and new ideas, even a dumb arse like me understands this.
