(13,927 posts)The fact is, many people were hurt by outsourcing, and the frank failure of Nafta, which enraged many in the USA and in Mexico. If she had realized that there needed to be a plan B instead of things going on as they were, she could have disarmed Trump. Yes, the ole south and heartland were full of bigots, but she had the means to announce that Outsourcing and Nafta needed to be changed, and made the case that SHE was the only one with enough cred to do it. Why she did not, I do not understand, although I suspect certain people I cannot name thanks to the DU TOS.
As far as middle east policy, did we have to say stuff like "we came, we saw, he died" after Khadffi was killed? She made it clear that the middle east policy was going to keep steamrolling along, to the point where it took Biden to even discuss ending the war in Afghanistan. I can hate Trump's mishandling, but he did see that the US was tired of fighting a war that did not benefit us, which was a continuing of BAD GOP policies. Obama killed Ben Ladin, we could have done the victory lap and come HOME, which could have bolstered the fact that Democrats got things done. Instead, she said the head of Syria "must go" which almost became yet another war.
lastly, as for bernie, why did the people who ran the campaign try to duck him, as if she could nto have smashed bernie like a glass tube. Berrnie would have made an ideal sparing partner, as she would have demolished the fact that he had not accomplished much, instead, her handlers did the stupid clandestine nonsense.
Note, I voted for her, and would vote for her again, just as I voted for Obama, just as I did for biden, and yes, frankly, I would vote for a Yellow dog over ANYTHING the gop offered. I do not care if a choirs of angels said "the gop guy is not so bad" I would VOTE DEMOCRAT!, FULL STOP! But because I believe in Hillary, I expect her not to shoot herself in the foot, especially since, sadly, many of those that caused her problems never were called out for THEIR drivign of Hillary into a ditch.
