  BUT...we're going to talk about it as if it's a real thing anyway, as if it's rational when it's absurd, as if you can plan for the absurd rationally. 
  Clinton was well respected 6 years ago (remember the meme of her in shades?). A relentless character assassination program run by the Republican party since 2012 (Benghazi! emails!)  an absurd misinformation campaign by the tea party right (Murder! Pizzagate! Emails!) and propaganda targeting by the neo-nazi right (Corrupt! Guns! Muslims!  Woman!  Emails!) defeated Hillary Clinton. 
  She faced a concerted propaganda attack from all sides, including Congress and FBI, and she lost because she couldn't deal with it. Perhaps no one could. But fundraising? If that's what you learned, you didn't learn much I fear.
