some parliamentary trick. I would not be surprised which tells you how low the (D) party has sunk.

'show up' was because Hillary was not the candidate who exemplified the Dems core values. But, then again, neither does Obama (anymore).
I'm believing more and more, that Bernie would have won against Trump hands down if he would have had support from the DNC. He would have won the primaries easily w/o the DNC working at destroying him. Just look at how well he performed despite all that was going against him - DNC, media, Clinton machine w/ 1%'rs. The least of his opponents was the Republicans!
This is just more hopey, changey bullshit from Obama

Obama noted that Democratic voters are often clustered in urban areas and on the coasts.

"So as a consequence, you've got a situation where there're not only entire states but also big chunks of states where, if we're not showing up, if we're not in there making an argument, then we're going to lose," he said.

"And we can lose badly, and that's what happened in this election."

Of course the Hillbots are ready with their pre-programmed line:

Drama Queens.

living in an alternate universe since. Don't worry though. Just preface everything political with 'neo' and you will get along just fine.

dank holes and infested the White House. They managed to contrive some of the worst disasters of American foreign policy in a century. Unfortunately, Obama did not do a thorough house cleaning when he took office. He allowed some of the more respectable ones to remain in the back bedrooms.
Seeking to remain ensconced in the White House, some of the backroom crazies hitched their wagon to Hillary's campaign while others hitched theirs to Trump

ROBBIE MARTIN: Well, PNAC, or The Project for the New American Century, was started in the 1990s under Bill Clinton. And the reason why Bill Kristol and Robert Kagan and Gary Schmitt said that they started this think tank was because they wanted to encourage the Clinton Administration's interventionist foreign policy. Because at the time, a sort of Pat Buchanan-esque anti-interventionist attitude was becoming quite trendy in the Republic Party. So Bill Kristol's the Weekly Standard and along with this think tank The Project for the New American Century, they wanted to start the trend that, even though Clinton was a Democrat, that hawkish Republicans like them should encourage and cheer on Bill Clinton for his military interventions. And this attitude, of course, carried over to the Bush Administration and many, many members of Project for the New American Century, I believe, 17 signatories of their papers, actually got into the Bush Administration.

And now what's happened is you've seen sort of this neocon consensus that formed around The Project for the New American Century, there's been almost a split where, when the GOP imploded because of Trump's rise in the primaries, that's where it really started, you also have sort of a split in the neoconservative consensus in DC. So you have people like Robert Kagan, Max Boot, Eliot Cohen, all openly advocating for Hillary Clinton, similarly to how they were advocating for Bill Clinton in the '90s, at least his foreign policy. But, while that was happening, which I think took most of the focus away from the other neocons, there were people like Michael Ledeen, James Woolsey, John Bolton, who are all part of Project for the New American Century, it caused them to actually split off and go towards Trump. And that's... I think that got a little bit overshadowed by just how much focus there was towards the neocons going towards Hillary.
