Clinton lost because she wasn’t Bernie Sanders. Sanders might have lost because of the lack of melanin and abundance of Y chromosomes, but “what if” is a parlor game.
The Dems lost in general because they had spent eight years overplaying their hand, and Trump was the one card sharp who could call their bluff and make them give up the pot.
No, Sanders would have lost worse because he would have alienated more of the middle class who didn’t particularly trust Trump.
There is no scenario in which any Dem beat Trump last year.
As I showed in my Breitbart column (republished here), Trump was a mere 510,000 votes from SEVEN more states totaling 51 more electoral votes. IOW, he was close to a massive blowout.
Hillary Clinton lost because she is Hillary Clinton.
In her only two competitive elections she’s ever been in, she went from inevitable to loser, then from even more inevitable to having to cheat Sanders through straight up industrial scale election fraud, as documented by the DNC leaks and others.
She made an attempt to strong-arm her way into the Presidency, where she’d be in the position to sell us out to the tune of tens of trillions, and the overwhelming feeling of the American people was that it was not smart to give her power.
Personally I think the “four minutes to nuclear launch” debate exchange is where she went from favorite to underdog in reality. It was super creepy and disturbing on a deep, deep level.
