I agree. Democrats would have won the election had they nominated Bernie Sanders or Joe Biden. All they had to do was nominate someone who actually had actual appeal to midwestern working class white voters.
In other words, a man. You're sadly right.
That being said, the states that put him over were so, so close. She maybe could have pulled it out without Comey, but obviously the closeness would have been a real shocker/reality check. It's too bad we had to jump off the cliff to get that reality check, though, because I think she could have recalibrated after a decently successful first term.
Stop ignoring the fact she was the epitome of the establishment running during a global populist resurgence. Liz Warren would've beaten Trump. I agree the Democratic Party needs more young women in office, or just younger people in general. Enough with the Schumers, Hoyers, and Pelosis.
It's hard not to overreact OP when we have an unknown commodity in Trump running the most powerful military in the world. What's scarier is who he surrounds himself with. Hopefully Trump is a Machiavellian genius, and knows what the hell he's doing because the Democrats are screwed if the old leadership ignore their elitist, coastal image (she won the popular vote, but we're getting crushed in state elections. Enough with the anti-"flyover" crap Dems)
