I've recently been reading about conversations in the Johnson White House where hawks like Robert McNamara and McGeorge Bundy are telling LBJ that the war can't be won, and they should start planning a gradual retreat. In 1967 and 1968. Think of that. Knowing what lies ahead, this is incredibly heartbreaking and maddening. Fucking Kissinger.
I think the impartial observer would more correctly note that (1) the Democrats never dreamed that Trump could win, and in that they had plenty of company, and (2) internal party politics demanded that HRC be given the nomination, and those considerations have always been much more important than any impacts to the people of the United States and the world.
