Serf posted:I think we shouldn't be too comfortable with the idea that the establishment is too old and will just roll over. They could very well nominate someone like Cory Booker. Plenty of Clinton supporters would also champion her again for 2020 because a) the margins were very narrow so of course she could win if she tried harder! (lol) and b) we're like really, really bad at learning. OTOH, "we don't want a repeat of 2016" is enough to sink her

We can accuse them of being Carville style masterminds, but Carville was the one who coined the phrase "it's the economy, stupid". This was a severe case of the Democrats refusing to listen to their own electoral success stories.

Tiler Kiwi posted:its weird tho, since you do have people in the democrat party like John Kerry who have proven themselves to be brave, bold, passionate about things that matter, but when put in front of a camera and told to connect with America, just sort of turn into waffling, indecisive, and ineffectual sods... yet again, like Kerry in 2004. in that case, a lot of blame was put upon the campaign staff and strategists, particularly Bob Shrum, who ran a stilted, cautious campaign centered around incredibly vague messages as opposed to challenging W. on things like abu ghraib. i felt Ms.Clinton's campaign was similarly overly cautious; slow on the defense, unconvincing on the attack.

No. The main job of the POTUS is to act as commander and chief of our armed forces and behave as our representative on foreign policy. Trump is going to be such a foreign policy fuckup that the Dems should run someone who is cut for the job, not a complete failure like Clinton was.

Nonsense posted:The only way Obama would get a horrible political legacy would be the collapse of the Democrats like the Whigs, which even now does not seem likely despite how weak the party is nationally at the local and state levels. The GFC was really bad, and now Trump is likely going to have every American relive the 20th century in a single term. What legacy will there be left? His policies sure don’t seem like they’re going to last much longer. The only thing that will be left is this supposed nostalgia for decency and a political center again.

The state department didn’t use to have its own infrastructure. That was provided by the DoD. Under Hillary, the state dept moved away from NIPR/SIPR because of the embassy leaks. She avoided the most serious ramifications, because NIPR/SIPR breaches are serious business. In other words, Clinton bad. Dead Cosmonaut has issued a correction as of 10:01 on Mar 22, 2017 |
