devastated by her loss. We thought the Supreme Court would be taken care of by progressive Justices for the next 30-40 years. After reflecting the past 18 plus months what I have slowly come to realize is the deep seated, visceral hatred of Hillary that was cultivated and nurtured by right wing nut job media with help from the Russians. That hatred is pathological. Until we deal with the likes of Fox and Murdochs of the world, another Trump candidate or worse is possible. Fox News is the problem. Trump was terrified when he thought Fox was put off the Helsinki Humiliation. Until we deal with Fox and the legitimizing of lies we cannot move forward.

There were many on the left that though she just wasn't progressive enough. They fell for all the lies too.

I will always think of her as the legitimate 45th president, not the illegitimate charlatan in the White House. I hope that any histories written about the Trump presidency always include an asterisk by his name with a footnote that says “Trump became president with the help of Russian influence, stolen and leaked confidential DNC materials, and hacking by Russian intelligence that may have removed voters from voter registration databases and changed votes and/or totals in key states with extremely close results. Usually reliable exit polls clearly showed Clinton the winner in several states that were called for Trump.”

again the exit polls were wrong. After Bush the polling industry was suppose to go through extensive remodeling. Now what are the chances that the exit polls were wrong again? Bush Sr. was the last legitimately elected republican president. By all rights, the last 16 years 17 1/2 years Dems should have been in The White House

Oh, wait... See, that would be the flaw in that strategy. Never mind the idea that she was this horrible corporatist monster until 2016 is manufactured bullshit to begin with. ETA this was in response to the OP explaining why Hillary moving to the left was an example of why primarying is so important.

in the Dolly Levi role on Broadway. She is one of the best performers ever, she commands the stage every minute. It's really nice that Secretary Clinton was able to get to see it and be so warmly received.
