She would have been a great president, and while she did make some big errors in tactics, like not hitting the swing states and picking Tim Kane, it is more for me, not that she couldn't have, but more to what divisions could crop up again. I have the same attitude about Bernie too.
45 played really dirty too. He is a great con artist, but a dumbass as a diplomat.
Dems need new blood. We need smooth like Obama or Michelle but also someone who can appeal to rust belt and red states. NO, not red state bigots, but red state liberals. Oklahoma has had a democratic governor a few years ago, and MONTANA currently has a Democratic governor.
If Dems simply rely on our old haunts and don't play offense and don't expand our map, we will always end up in second place. If we can beat Koch money with Obama twice then we can compete at the local level in every state, but we have to want it. And we have to stay united and pick our battles. There is far too much at stake with the shithole in office to insist on purity tests.
