Hillary Clinton Supporters Ask: ‘How’d She Lose to This Guy?’
Taylor, you have my gratitude and appreciation for the principled stand you have taken, and continue to take, during the course of this campaign. The rest of this message is in response to some of the other posts I see here.
The only reason Hillary “lost” the campaign for the nomination is that the party illegally and in violation of its own rules handed over delegates to one candidate which the voters had awarded to another, further awarded to their favored candidate delegates who, by the rules, should have been uncommitted until the convention, and suppressed the vote in two states over a rules infraction while the vote in three other states which committed the same infraction was honored at full strength.
As to counting caucus votes in the tally of popular vote: how can you count those votes when they are not even recorded in some states, and in none (so far as I am aware) are they certified?
The real loser wasn’t Clinton, who at the very least can look forward to a long and effective career in the Senate. The real loser was the Democratic party, whose leaders violated the basic tenets of democracy in order to effect a particular outcome, thereby leaving the party in danger of losing big time, come November.
