As for the war itself and political judgment — I assume George W Bush signed off on those invasion plans because he thought they would work out really well and reflect well on him. It wasn’t “oh we should do a huge fiasco and ruin the political dynasty forever.” — PolitiTweet.org

But then the left over-interpreted the support for Bernie. Lots of mainstream Democrats (Barack Obama! Nancy Pelosi! A *majority of congressional democrats*) opposed the war. Rejecting the war didn’t require rejecting the whole aughts-vintage Democratic Party. — PolitiTweet.org

By the same token, if Hillary Clinton had been clairvoyant about the actual course of the war then the obvious politically expedient move would have been to vote “no” on the AUMF. She’d have won in 2008! But she wasn’t clairvoyant. — PolitiTweet.org
