If Hillary Clinton had won the 2008 Democratic Primary...


instead of Obama, do you think she would've won the election?

reply

Good question. The country was really hating on sick of Republicans,
and I don't think any Republican really wanted the job. Republicans don't
like to work that hard ... look at Trump. Look at McCain's pick or Sarah
Palin. The Republicans did not want it.

reply

She probably would have won, everyone was convinced that Bush f-cked it up and no Republican was ever going to win that year.

reply

True. So the REPs picked a DEM in McCain. Pathetic choice. A good choice would have likely had the same outcome as you suggested.

reply

McCain was a bad candidate, he suspended his campaign and refused to go after Obama and his history of corruption. McCain is an American Hero but a poor political candidate. Even Sarah Palin wanted to go after Obama and all of his scandals and she was told not to.

reply

She would’ve won. Bush was seen as one of the lowest presidents in our nation’s history, just as Trump is being viewed now. They wanted anyone to wash the taste of republican out with.

reply

Trump is an infinitely better president on his worst day than Obama ever was on his best day.

reply

Every day was a worse day with Trump

reply

No. The Democrats needed the brown vote to get across the finish line.

A shame too because Obama’s election took a recession that should’ve lasted 6 months an extended it 6 years.

Clearly one of the worst presidents in US history.

reply

I think she would have won, and taken us all to hell.

reply

If she would've won, we wouldn't have to put up with that big fat orange rotten thing we have in the White House!
