I will swim against the tide here........ this is possibly the most correct thing she has said in reference to her unexpected loss.

There were a large number of Bernie supporters who were against her and it may have been the critical group in some states because a lot of them stayed home. There were numerous threads about this prior to the election here on FR and a general acknowledgment that the DNC had mistreated Bernie and his supporters. I suspect this is one of the main reasons they will not let anyone else look at their server. Many sober FReepers discussed this on the many threads about why Trump stood a shot at winning even as the media tried to ignore it to not highlight the division on their side.

Don’t forget the dysfunction it created during their convention and what the punditry was saying at the time - remember the protests? HRC and the DNC conspired to stack the deck against Bernie and his supporters noticed it. Trump brilliantly highlighted this division repeatedly, which forced a reluctant media to cover it. On top of this, many Bernie supporters were in full agreement with many conservatives who viewed her as a crony-capitalist. They instinctively did not like her and the treatment of Bernie affirmed their reasoning.

Moving forward, at least for presidential elections, this will be a major problem for the DNC who despite Trump still have the advantage of demographics unless Trump can sustain converts like Reagan (and the GOPe does not predictably throw it away). They have to craft a message that keeps each group of their coalition under the tent and it may be difficult to walk such a tightrope with the growing number of socialists in America. These were previously reliable votes for them. For someone who is not a “politician” the brilliance of Trump and his outreach to minority communities where his predecessors shrugged may show up big in 2020 and flip the script. The DNC has to be very concerned about it.

That is true, I wholeheartedly agree. But the main problem she had was herself.

Bernie's leading his small herd down into a cave in the Himalayas, holding aloft his own torch (he's kept a torch burning for his first love, Marxism) and his fellow idiots will follow him down into the darkness in search of an imaginary paradise. After the torch goes out, they'll realize their mistake, lost in the darkness underground. The Bernie threat is to the Demagogic Party, and the treatment he gets in 2020 (assuming he survives that much longer) will be doled out by whomever's in charge over there. He'll have to embrace reparations, which are profoundly anti-socialist, because the notion of reparations acknowledges the continued existence of special classes.

Bernie and all other socialists probably needed special classes, most still do.

The attempt to steal the election was by the Slimes itself, with its doctored "polls" showing a sudden shift to a 16 point lead for Hitlery. That the media shills believed theiir own propaganda reminded me of what happened in 1967, when everyone in the Egyptian regime was afraid to tell Nasser that the propaganda broadcasts he'd been listening to were all chockablock full of phony info.
