    We were actually on good terms with Russia post-Cold War until Clinton entered the Bosnian conflict.

    Not saying Hillary is the ideal choice or not (certainly not my first choice), but it's surprising over the last 100 years that the USA hasn't elected their first woman POTUS.

    That said, Obama is fortunate he didn't have to compete with Trump as oppose to going head to head with the late John McCain (RIP). Both McCain and Mitt Romney were just what Obama needed to make his historical run. Unfortunately, amid their classy, calm & quiet demeanors, there was an unseen and yet unheard demographic waiting for someone like Trump to come along and boot all things Obama in their small minds all the way back to the projects.

    Not making excuses for Hillary, but she found herself at times adrift in the perfect storm railing against all things Obama. Hopefully, Joe Biden can find a way to shed any semblance of being nothing more than an old Obama retread. The 2020 Democrats will all be sharing that stingy feeling if they don't get their act together real soon.

    Which didn’t matter because she still had more votes without them

    Which we know now was corrupted. Had Clinton and the dnc not colluded to undermine the primary system we might be able to trust those results

    Which was at least in part a result of the corrupted structure of the Dem Primary process.
    I wonder how many fewer primary votes Hillary would have gotten - and how many more would have went to Bernie - had the Democrat rank and file know about the collusion between the DNC and HRC campaign.

    And, here's the irony: Bernie probably would have beaten Trump.

    Yes the 2016 election had some rather bogus moments due to dnc corruption, and the Obama admin corruption. The will of the people came through regardless of their corrupt intent.

    You feel that Hillary should run again? That she may do better next time? That idea would likely get a lot of support.

    No, I didn’t want her the first time. But she’s infinitely better than this clown.

    That's because he was a very big pooh bear at the FBI and to this day probably thinks that he cannot be touched by a court of law. She, on the other hand, as a much lower on the totem pole functionary has a better grasp of fundamental reality. She KNOWS that unless the turns informant she will end up wearing prison orange.

    That was the deal that Obama had to cut so that Bill -- the Dem Party's only real Great Communicator would hit the campaign trail hard for Barack; since Barack himself was no longer capable of filling up huge venues with rabidly in lust with him voters. So Bill once again hit the campaign trail for Barack and Obama in turn GAVE the 2016 nomination to Hillary through the corrupt to the core DNC.
