      I actually blame Hillary and DWS for denying Bernie’s run at the DNC. He would have beaten Trump. Trump didn’t win in 2016, Hillary lost.

        Can we blame the slave era electoral college, considering Hillary did win the popular vote by 3 million?

        That said, I agree. DNC did major damage, to the point it seemed intentional. Howard Dean was DNC chair during the successful organic primaries that gave us Obama over Hillary in the 2008 cycle.

        For whatever reason Dems abandoned that setup and went back to the failed strategy of 2004 primaries to presumably shoehorn Hillary in.
