Barack Obama, to succeed the popular two-term president, Hillary Clinton, to whom he narrowly lost the nomination in 2008.

This.

Everything would've been better if WWC!Hillary had won instead of  Elite Stoner Obama. And Obama with his talent would've been able to better back his credentials AND once elected been crushingly effective.

Oh and Hillary would've left office with much higher approvals than Obama because she wouldn't have been so naive with Congressional negotiations.

Because she was so effective with HillaryCare? LOL.

It was very effective, until the last minute fear-mongering campaigns started. And those opponents were promoting Obamacare at the time, if in a half-hearted sense.

So yeah, obviously had more guts and teeth than ACA ever has.

Hillary Clinton. She performed better than any other Democrat would have against Trump.

Very, very dubious claim.

Not really. Any other Democrat would've take more of Trump's bait and fallen far behind in the popular vote.

But her, she winded all sorts of false claims thanks to 25 years of it.

There's a reason everyone saw her as inevitable on ALL sides of the aisle.

On other hand, every other Republican against Hillary...well it would've been 2012 Part 2....that's how wooden, phony, and elitist pretty much all the other 16 Republicans look, which is kinda impressive on it's own.


Trump v. Clinton was a perfect equilibrium for a coin toss result. Comey put it to tails. Even with that, she still won the popular vote.


The only person who could actually throw quips enough to make Trump squirm and still look good is Obama...no not even Biden, he lost to Dukakis sabotage for goodness sake.

Biden. Out of the declared ones, O’Malley. That might sound funny but he would’ve held onto WI, MI, and PA. Hillary was a godawful candidate and Dems should have been able to win those states without a problem.

O'Malley might have lost Nevada, New Hampshire, and still Wisconsin instead.

Biden and Webb would have crushed Trump.

Webb wouldn't have the energy to actually campaign full-scale enough and would defined by Trump before it's too late. Also, the left would've stayed home in even greater droves, I would've much preferred him myself, but that's just me.

Then there's the whole Confederate Flag Issue, which Trump would've gaslighted on.

As for Biden, would've said yes, before he looked like an idiot over that one comment he made about a back alley in high school. 

Also, Trump might've gaslighted him over all those questionably touchy moments he's got with lots of women. Instead of "Crooked Hillary", it'd be "Gropey Joe", and the hypocritical base would eat it up, while the female vote would shrink massively.
