This. It was a perfect storm for him. Despite Hillary's unpopularity, she still could have won if she wasn't so concerned with her own agenda. Every step of the way left me thinking "this could be SO EASY...WHY ARE YOU ****ING IT UP???". The entire country (left and right) has been done with this centrist crap for a while. Yet time after time...talk after talk...she kept pushing her faux-progressive wall street-supporting bull****. The right wants the good ol days and the left wants freaking PROGRESS. Same old same old was NOT going to work this election. And she lost. Any other democratic candidate would have won...not to mention Bernie. I voted for Hillary because same ol' centrism is better than the **** storm that is being kicked up now. But it wasn't a vote I was thrilled about. As a very liberal person, if I felt that way, I was sure millions of others did as well. And they probably didn't have a polling station right down the block to go to.
