We all do. If Trump wins, the only thing that might make it bearable is that the same "journalists" that allowed his ascension will be the first up against the wall once he rounds up everyone who does not sufficiently grant him tribute.

She had a doctor's appointment on Friday as a follow up to her allergy cough; that was when she was given treatment for pneumonia and told to maybe lightening up on her activity. She went and did two campaign events and a fundraiser on Saturday before going to the ceremony on Sunday.

Hard to believe that the campaign didn't disclose a minor, treatable illness into a political climate full of insane wingnut speculation about her Morgellons while her male counterpart calls her "unpresidential" and questions her "stamina".

Well, when the accusation from the fever swaps is that "Hillary Clinton is secretly hiding an illness!", it's probably not a great idea to actually hide an illness.

I mean, it was pretty much a lose/lose situation for her the moment she got sick, but she ended up choosing the worse option.

I think Bernie takes a small portion of blame for the way in which he ended his campaign by stubbornly holding on and casting doubt on the process but I think it has more to do with a generation of people who only know Hillary from the Republican attack bullshit, clouding their perception of her and, in general, a generation that views people like her with a great deal of contempt.

I only...partially blame Bernie himself. He hung on too long. But the people I see posting "BOTH OPTIONS ARE BAD" are inevitably Bernie supporters. His campaign made people real dumb, even if his run was a legitimate thing to do.

I, personally, still don't LIKE Hillary - but I was part of the hate brigade 15 months or so ago, and lo and behold every single accusation against her is garbage for idiots.

At the very least, I think she was the best of the options that ever shared a debate stage this election. Sanders is an entertaining, principled guy - and I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have gotten a drat thing done as President.

Yes. If the Senate polls stay where they are, Republicans narrowly maintain control of the Senate.

Hillary has no win here. The press has made it pretty clear she's damned if she does or doesn't and they will make up stuff if she doesn't produce anything juicy. I can understand the logic of hiding stuff and hoping it gets missed since being open and admitting problems is for losers and the pres isn't willing to cover for her like the Trump campaign out of fear of his insane supporters.

I can agree with Maddow not hosting a debate or something similar. She does not mask the fact that she is left-wing at all (same with Lawrence O'Donnell, who has made his scorn of Trump very clear). Holt to me is your buck-standard newscaster, never really injects political views into things, etc. I'm not going to read into it that much, but you have to remember the backlash against Lauer last week.

NV has been tight the whole cycle, as has NH. They always are.

The real test in NV is can she get good Hispanic turnout -- they're notoriously hard to poll, especially in NV.
