Bernie didn't do that. The damage was already there. She never really lost voters through the primary. She just failed to gain people who didn't automatically pick her.
The "Wall Street" stuff absolutely hurt her. He poisoned the well.

You said we had nothing to fear but fear itself, but it's wrong. hate is something to be feared. Roosevelt you were a great president. Why aren't you hear to fight against the fear. fear wins. fear always wins. Roosevelt why are we here. I looked up to you when I was a child. nothing to fear but fear itself. fear won today. it won

Little did we know that "basket of deplorables" would end up being Trump's cabinet.
A veritable who's who of politicians I hate. Excellent.

But who is going to pay for this shit if that's could happen? At the Pres level, of course.
Curious about this. Could this change the way we look at data going forward?

He can afford to be gracious- he's won.

That's the problem right there. "It's Donald Trump, nobody could vote for that idiot. I'll just make a drinking game out of the whole thing and watch."
She's like an awkward nerd with overly earnest good intentions who is vaguely aware that she comes across poorly but doesn't know how to fix it so she's stopped being overly introspective for fear of what she'll find.
fucking millennials.
I am almost certain it was them with their "both sides" horseshit garbage.
CNN were the real winners

State governments have a little more sway than a president?
I keep thinking to myself that it's ok because I live in California. Is it really??? Honest question

Absolutely a portion of blame falls there, I agree.

Yea I remember reading that. But then later on when she had a chance to do something interesting by maybe picking her as VP she went for .....Tim Kaine. zzZZzZZz
Obviously we don't know if she asked Warren but I very much doubt she even tried so that she wouldn't have to deal with a progressive person in her ear all the time. I don't think even Warren as VP would've helped her win in this scenario though.

Nothing is ever her fault...
It's very simple as to why this happened. The Bradley Effect, which states that if you sense there's an open opposition to your views, you're going to hide it. Considering the things Trump supporters have been called over the course of this campaign, along with its' volatility, it makes perfect sense why that vote happened. When I started looking into the polling data weeks ago, I could tell that there were oddities that made me think 'yup, he's got a shot at this.'
The mainstream media, Fox, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, the Republican party, its' candidates, the Democratic party and Hillary Clinton, got beat by a rookie. For the highest office in the land. It's going to take a long time for the people invested on her side to cope with this result.

Cause their party is more interested in jerking over themselves than listening to them. That's what breaks the spirit of their voters and they stay home.

And that's why so many thought it would be fine to stay home.
Its sad when Christie, a soon-to-be felon, is the least objectionable on that list.

You're one of the lucky ones... for now.

She screwed up by running, he compounded the error.

California should be it's own country, it's population is similar to all of Canada
She didn't connect and she never won over her own party.
Her being the first female president didn't matter to people and it didn't matter to women who didn't vote for her.

She poisoned it herself. Again, why is Bernie's fault that Clinton was so flawed? Because he pointed it out? As if Trump wouldn't have used that attack too?
Time to stop justifying the historical mistake dems made by choosing Clinton lol

8th largest economy in the world, too. Self-sufficient and errything.
She is a flawed candidate for sure. But how in the world does Donald Trump manage to get away with everything he's said and done?
Except for when it comes to water.
This is what people need to understand. trump got away with being a complete racist, sexist, not releasing tax retuns, lying more than any candidate in presidential hitory and pretty much insulting everyone except for dictators. There is no coming back from that, it is the norm.
