There is a difference between responding to articles about Hillary saying stupid shit and bringing her up out of nowhere like this topic does.

Except it's not. I very clearly stated that when you actually read the article, I wasn't even Hillary herself saying "I want to come back to politics and run again for President", it would be aides or "people close to her" saying things like, "well she hasn't ruled it out, so it's possible". They'd take just the very idea that she might come back and go wild with it. The majority of the thread was the people who actually read the article and/or understood it talking them off the ledge by saying, "no, she's not saying she's coming back for another Presidential run. She wasn't even the actual source for what this article is about".

I'm not saying it was a ton of people, but they were regular posters who would frequently fall into this trap because any mention of Clinton possibly coming back drove them insane.

This happened a lot from like 2016-2018, when those type of articles were most prevalent.

But that makes him a Trumper. It's not like he wrote in Bernie. >_>

There were objectively Bernie supporters who voted Trump out of spite for Clinton winning the nomination and/or not being in jail for what they thought was an egregiously clear slamdunk case. Once again, I'm not saying they cost her the election, but to deny that there were Sanders supporters who spitefully voted for Trump as a vote against Clinton is to deny reality.

Here's an article on it:

After Trump won the election is when he seems to have become more of a Trumper as he was less of someone miffed at Clinton winning the primary and more just increasingly insane with right-wing rhetoric.
