      She was shady. She was manipulative. I saw it firsthand during the Iowa caucuses of 2016 when she sent out a guide on “how to run a caucus” with a bunch of stuff that was intentionally misleading to favor an establishment candidate.

        You’re saying an establishment candidate sent out ‘how to run a caucus’ with suggestions that favored an establishment candidate?

          Not suggestions, misinformation. Like it lied about how a caucus should be run, lied about what happens in a disagreement, lied about how delegates have to vote. Like someone in our precinct ended up calling the Iowa DNC to confirm that information that Clinton’s campaign provided was wrong.

            Is there some article or copy of the handout or whatever about that? I don’t remember it.

      She’s generally dislikable. Calling anyone who doesn’t like her a sexist is an example of the attitude that continues to help the Republicans win elections.

      It was much longer than 5 years. Fox News threw shit on her from day 1. And when she played a role in trying to implement single payer healthcare they turned it into a vendetta. More like 20 years.
