    She was voted out of power. And then we got Trump.

    I’m no fan of Clinton, but rather a million times her than Trump. But the US clearly needs better candidates.

      Certainly, she would have been a better president than Trump. But that’s damning with extremely faint praise. A rotten turnip would have been a better president than Trump.

      I’ve long tried to tell Americans that they need to spend their effort on the party primaries, that’s the last chance for actual options to be considered. Once you get to the election itself the only thing left to evaluate is “which is the lesser evil?”

        When the campaign started in 2015, I thought Clinton vs Bush would be the worst lineup ever. I had no idea then that an even worse one was possible.

        I don’t know how Americans always manage to get the worst possible candidates winning their primaries.
