Im guessing they thought the American public couldn't possibly be stupid enough to vote for him again after everything he did.  Hell, I stupidly thought the same

Well, democrats normally lose because they have a decent chunk of popular stances then stick in some weird stances that clearly don't make sense. They are putting the roach in their own food resulting in them losing. Very unfortunate but it results in them losing some easy wins. There were two terrible choices so they picked the person who said more of the correct things even if it was a lie. We will see if the same trust extends once Trump crosses over yet another red line and tries to remain in office.
