Watch the debates that professors at NYU staged where actors did a gender-swapped reproduction of the Trump v Clinton debates and tell me that you wouldn't vote for Lady Trump over the featureless husk of Dude Clinton. She was utter garbage in every respect and I've typed more words about her than she merits at this point so I'll stop now.

so many things were possibly in 2008. it was the opportunity to rebuild things in ways that actually worked, to be radical and fix issues that could not be dealt with in normal times. if there was just a little bit of vision or will

instead Obama half-assed a reconstruction of everything that had just failed but with a different set of trim

The ghosts of Joe Lieberman and his Blue Dog Bandits were still haunting Congress at that time so probably not.

Co-signed, that NYU thing is fascinating. Lady Trump is compelling and sort of charming. Man Clinton is gray and hazy.

leaks are good, whistleblowers are good. idgaf what their origin or motivations are and that shouldn't matter so long as they are providing accurate, verifiable information about wrongdoings. let the russians air any of our dirty laundry they find all they want.

This, at least, was one issue that Missus Clinton was consistent on. She despises whistleblowers and has hated Wikileaks since the Arab Spring. I guess the CIA kisses her rear end so much because they're on the same page about people like Snowden. That, and they want to continue to work within the continental US (which is illegal).

I watched with hearty laughter as our very own forums started parroting the lines about Putin rigging the election. Seriously, how dumb are people that the words "unsecured server" are ignored completely in favor of some Tom Clancy-esque conspiracy garbage.

Chelsea Clinton has never looked cool and she's going to be even less popular if she loving tries it.
Let's watch her closely. Maybe she'll become a CEO for a major company. Maybe she'll play bass part time in a band, while working for charities. She has years yet to impress us and prove that she was not hatched from a clutch of eggs in a basement in Arkansas.

yeah but the author's conclusion is dumb too. "Racial attitudes made a bigger difference in electing Trump than authoritarianism." all the data shows is that in terms of people who voted for either candidate, the biggest difference was that Hillary voters were less likely to hold symbolically racist views. that doesn't actually explain what led to Trump winning, since what actually defined that was who DIDN'T vote. if Hillary had anywhere close to Obama '12 numbers, she would have won.

the data also shows that Trump voters were just as racist as (actually slightly less racist than) Romney voters. the big difference in terms of the racism stats was between people who voted for Obama in 2012 and people who voted for Hillary in 2016. so I guess the white woman just hemorrhaged votes from the hardcore racist bloc that voted for a black man two times in a row?

Guys I don't think this book is going to be that favorable looking to Hillary

quote:

It was a quandary that would plague her throughout the campaign. After nearly a year on the campaign trail, and hundreds of stops at diners, coffee shops, and high school gymnasiums and just as many roundtables with young professionals and millworkers, Hillary still couldn’t figure out why Americans were so angry or how she could bring the country together. She had tried to learn the lessons of 2008 and had built a campaign that was different, if too similar in some respects, this time around. But fundamental changes in the electorate eluded her grasp. She couldn’t find ways to connect with portions of the primary electorate that were driven to Sanders because he represented an all-out assault on the establishment thinking at the core of her being.

quote:

Despite advice from her campaign staff urging her not to make unscreened Snapchats, she nonetheless released the now notorious "just chilling in Cedar Rapids" video after storming out and disappearing from a campaign meeting in Iowa. She was found passed out by a pair of secret service agents hours later, apparently having suffering a fainting spell at the waterfront.

The whole book is suppose to be like this.

It's charitable to Hillary, as much as someone rolling in that circle tends to be, but it's also very negative about what she does and how she thinks, especially about the campaign itself.

The big reveal to me is how bad Bill Clinton comes off in it, because rather than the voice of reason, he just ends up being an echo chamber for Hillary's worst aspects.

Well, that's all her campaign was about. I mean yeah, Trump is awful, but Hillary didn't really give us any big selling points for her. Other than she isn't Trump. And has been doing this forever so she "deserves" it. And it would be nice to have a lady president, I guess. And that she would uphold the status quo and everything was going great in America already (it's not.)

Yep. I get so sick of people who try to make it about her gender which is ironic because she'd probably be far more unlikable as a dude. I mean her little smug "I know what's best for you all" smug looks somehow would be smuggier on a guy.

Gammatron 64 posted:

Also throwing Bernie Sanders under the bus really didn't help her campaign. I know many voters who aren't terribly pleased about that! Myself included.

Yep. That lost them the election, maybe other places too. That tiny % that said "You know what, burn in hell DNC" was all that many, many states needed to flip Trump.
