Aw Hell, let's be honest, she couldn't give it away.

"Former president Bill Clinton, surveying the landscape and the ham-handed efforts at identity politics, was bereft, lamenting to a longtime friend in the fall of 2016 that Hillary's campaign 'could not sell pussy on a troop train,'" Grim wrote in an excerpt from the book published on the Intercept on December 5.

The excerpt, dubbed "The Rise and (First) Fall of Bernie," chronicles the 2016 Democrat primary fight between Clinton and progressive Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), where Sanders nearly upended Clinton's general election aspirations with a grassroots coalition.

In the excerpt, Grim recounts how Clinton's campaign — turning to identity politics to take on a surging Sanders — "worked directly with Washington-based nonprofit advocacy groups... to ghost-write op-eds explaining how the Sanders position on this or that issue was actually sexist or racist."

Grim says the strategy "likely pushed moderate voters paying only marginal attention to the campaign toward Sanders, who spoke like a normal person while Clinton began ascending into what her ally James Carville would later call 'faculty lounge speak.'"

In other words, Clinton, whose campaign was led by Robby Mook, had embraced the jargon of the leftist elite, causing a disconnect with the average voter — while Sanders's more simplistic rhetoric resonated more with voters.

If I remember right, super delegates gave Hillary the primary election in 2016. There were states where bernie received more votes and Hillary came out with more delegates. I would not be surprised if this is the last "primary" for the democrats, and it can hardly be called a primary. But the liberal masses will still vote for who they are told to vote for.

We know these stupid people are out there, but is it really big enough to call it a constituency?
I say this, because the left is nothing more than an amalgamation of hate groups that can't even find one issue they agree on aside from hating themselves and one another, including the US.

They just aren't big enough to make a difference anymore.
