All rather moot given he garnered a lot fewer votes than his opponent.

Re: 2016 Election
 

Progressives are outnumbered by conservatives within the Democratic party, not to mention the country at large.

There's no path for progressives for getting much of they want until they can turn more voters into progressives. (And no, winning Democratic primaries is not enough; Democrats must field candidates who can win general elections in order to avoid losing to the Republicans.)

This isn't that complicated. It's a numbers game, and progressives don't have the numbers. Ignoring the numbers won't improve them.

Re: 2016 Election
 

Yes, he wasn't able to overcome the intrinsic advantages that his opponent had. But that's not the point being argued.

Re: 2016 Election
 

Actually, there are a lot more progressives in the country, they just don't vote. If there was a way to get more non voters to vote, that would push the needle.

That, plus getting money out of politics. I think Bernie Sanders has started to move the Overton window back to the left, it just remains to be seen if the movement will continue after this election.

But the main point I was making is to capitalise on the gains made by Sanders as much as possible. I don't know why you think that is delusional.

If Hilary can get away claiming her policies will help businesses grow, progressives certainly can also tailor their message accordingly. And once new entitlements put in place kind of hard to take away, or to control costs so 4 years of Hilary will prepare the country for a more progressive President.

Not sure the definition of "conservatives in the democrat party" fits reality. What are usually considered conservative principles or beliefs do not fit within the platform of the party or the "plan" of Hilary.

Seem Hillary's charitable donations are mainly to her.

Who could have guessed it?

Good description of Trumps alledged business success.

"But for me, the words that best summed up the financial nonsense that led to the bankruptcy of Trump’s businesses were uttered in the early 1990s by the dean of financial journalists, Floyd Norris. He said that someday we all would have to explain to our children and grandchildren the bizarre story of Donald Trump, how so many banks behaved so recklessly to benefit a man who was obviously little more than a carnival barker. The answer, Floyd said, was: “You just had to be there. It can’t be explained rationally.”

Re: 2016 Election
 

Well a fifth of Donald's campaign expenses are for Trump-owned services.

Re: 2016 Election
 

I had a chuckle when initially he said he was funding the campaign, but by loans initially. Made me wonder whether he thought he could go through campaign and get paid back.

How dubious can you get? Giving to your own charities.

Trump doesn't do that, he makes everybody else pay. And he doesn't have charities. Nothing is free and being so naive as to give money away is only a concealed way to take tax deductions. Besides, she's an idiot to even release her tax returns. The biased media will only find out how stupid she is. You can bet Trump won't do that.

Re: 2016 Election
 

Mainly to the Clinton Foundation.

Perhaps we could compare against Trump's charitable contributions? Oh...

Re: 2016 Election
 

Talking of money, what's Trump spending his on?

Why on earth wouldn't she donate to a charity that has her full support? I volunteer with local organizations and that is where I focus my charitable giving; it would make no sense not to.

Re: 2016 Election
 

I guess there will some harrassment at the polls in PA.

Donald Trump says the only way he will lose the election in Pennsylvania is if his opponents cheat. "We're going to watch Pennsylvania. Go down to certain areas and watch and study and make sure other people don't come in and vote five times," Trump said during a Friday rally in Pennsylvania. "If you do that, we're not going to lose. The only way we can lose, in my opinion -- I really mean this, Pennsylvania -- is if cheating goes on."
An NBC/WSJ/Marist poll released August 7 showed Trump trailing Clinton 11 points in Pennsylvania.

I am going to guess it is not the Nutmegger Foundation.
