What a stupid comment. I'd have asked him what would give him the advantage in the Democratic Primary against Bill Clinton.

It would have been interesting to have seen him go up against Trump. I still think Trump would have edged him out.

It's totally irrelevant.

Oduma just wants to diminish Trump's victory because like the rest of the Dums he is a sore loser.

I'm still waiting for anyone in the 'Hillary was a bad candidate' camp to tell us who the Dems could have picked and won.

CNN is really going to cling to the would've/could've/should've that is the popular vote vs. the electoral college for the next 4 years, aren't they?

So, who should the Dems have nominated? Who would have beaten Trump?


Of the top of my head. Biden, Warren, Booker, etc. Bernie could have in a two person race but most pundits claim that Bloomberg would have run third party if Bernie was the nominee which would have pulled too much of the center-left votes away and Trump would have still won.

Other than having name recognition Hillary is a terrible politician. She even admits it herself. She can't inspire a room full of two year olds to eat candy.

Biden... he's already run lots of times. In primaries he usually pulls about 1% of the vote. He's the Lindsay Graham of the Democrats.

Warren...This is just repeating Hillary in terms of stupid, left wing bitch that everyone hates. But she has less money and less name recognition.

Booker... Who the hell is Booker? I'm guessing a random black liberal.

Nice try, but a total fail.

I think he would have gotten the nomination this time if the DNC would have let him run.

Warren is more like Bernie and way left of Hillary. She's the darling of the far left and doesn't have the baggage that Hillary has. She could have energized the far left and gotten over the hump.

Cory Booker is a rising star of the left. Hard to believe you don't know who he is since you obviously follow politics.

I'm surprised he didn't, when has he ever let the Constitution stand in his way?

So, Biden brings his 1% track record into the primaries and Debbie WS translates that into the nomination and he beats Trump. Yep.

Yep, that's what the problem was. Hillary wasn't far left enough. Yep.

There are no rising stars of the left. That's why I didn't recognize the last name. But yeah, I know Cory. He's a far left idiot. Bring him on.

Is 0bama trading five top al qaeda terrorists for one Army deserter who got several of his fellow troops killed looking for him a strength or weakness? That alone sums up how incompetent he is. His only talent is campaigning and reading a teleprompter...and lying. Trump would have changed his strategy because he would have a lot more material to work with and Obama would have been a stuttering idiot at the debates, unless of course Obama would have been given all the questions before each debate and the amount of corruption and cheating on election day would have been tough for Trump to overcome.

He's completely classless and he's completely wrong. Clinton ran as obama 2.0 and he campaigned heavily for her and she still lost to a political neophyte.

By 2016 people were weary of obama and his progressive BS. The light was finally illuminating obamacare, the Iran deal and the rest of his plethora of failings for all to see.

I love it when Obama says shite like this with no way of knowing whether his opinion is correct as it will never be tested.

He's just preening like a motherfricker.

Too bad that wasn't enough to save the democratic party from completely getting demolished in elections at every level of government.

This is Obama's legacy as he leaves office. People were able to separate Obama the likable guy from Obama the hated president and that reflected accordingly in every election since 2010 outside of the top of the ticket getting enough of his 2008 coalition to turn out in 2012.

He's made some pretty irresponsible claims in the past, but this one is pretty bad. The arrogance is seeping out from beneath his demeanor more and more as the days go by.

Bye Obama. I'm all for ideas and change that improves our country but "progressive change" has tossed common sense out the window. These progressive whackos have found something offensive in everything. If they had their way there would be no more identifying someone as male or female which is absurd.

Obama will probably find this thread, print it out and put it on his "I love me" wall. Of Course anything negative will be scrubbed.
