Yet, she still won the popular vote despite all this plus Russian hacking on the DNCs servers. Remember, a combined 80,000 votes in 3 states that trump’s underwater in, changed the election.

All true. My point is that the Democrats chose the worst possible candidate.

Hilary had political credibility. She was nearly an automatic vote for D’s. She also received more votes than Trump so implicitly saying she was an awful candidate is just wrong.
Not one of those other candidates would’ve had a shot at Trump and his shenanigans. He would’ve embarrased them. Sadly.
Sanders polled MUCH better against Trump than Hillary did...
She did not energized the base.
She was unappealing to swing voters and independents.
She energized the opposition
She ran an arrogant campaign by trying to stretch her lead instead of getting the Midwest vote she needed to win.
She was part of the establishment in an antiestablishment election.
Besides that she was an awesome candidate.
Bernie would have won.

Yeah it was down to Hillary and Sanders in the primary in 2016.
I do think she was a bad candidate to run against Trump, but could have fared better against a nonpupulist standard politician.
In any case I don't see any current Democratic candidates with her negatives so I'm cautiously optimistic about their prospects this go around, especially Sanders or Warren.

Agree to disagree.
I saw MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY people saying that they chose the lesser of 2 evils when voting for Trump. I believe them.

I get that. But I don’t think that makes any of the other candidates therefore more attractive than Trump.
