    They didn’t even learn anything from Dubya. Their answer to Bush was Clinton, not Obama. Obama was an unexpected primary winner thanks to people that were insanely enthusiastic about his platform, and healthcare reform coming into the public spotlight. The turnout he got was like nothing they’d been able to do before.

    And what they took away from that was “wow, Obama was just a once in a generation charismatic speaker.” 🤦‍♂️ I look forward to the next round of being told how good the economy is!

      What the DNC actually took away from Obama is that they could never run a fair primary again, because it threatened their ability to push corporate stooges.
