I would have liked it much better if Warren had been the nominee. I feel confident she would do even better against Trump. Clinton isn't someone I look up to at all, and she has so much freakin baggage it's unbelievable. In terms of this election, it doesn't really matter if her "scandals" are real or imagined - She has been the right's punching bag for years and has suffered from that. Her approvals/trustworthiness polls show it.

I could be wrong, but I legitimately feel like we blew a chance to have a true landslide this election. We may have a big win yet with lots of downballot wins, but I can't help but think it will be less than we could have gotten with a better candidate.

* And yes, maybe polarization may prevent a 61%+ PV win, but I don't think a 57% - 58% margin is off the table with Trump had we fielded a better, less controversial candidate that could inspire people to vote. Polarization may prevent large wins most of the time, but it's not universal.
