Secondly, it doesn't matter what I think, it matters how the average American likes her, and how much she inspires them to vote. Right now, in the two most recent polls,
she's losing to Donald Trump.
To Donald f***ing Trump. Democrats somehow managed to find the one Democrat weak enough to lose to Donald "I Use the Best Words" Trump.
They're the ones who are throwing out a sure-thing-victory and are gambling with America's future. You can whine and blame Sanders and his supporters as long as you want to, but the facts are the facts. Amazingly, it's not even enough to you to just say, "Look, she's going to win the primary."
You have to go further and make up claims about how Hillary Clinton is "obviously" the one who is needed to beat Trump because she's the only one who can pull in the numbers --from whole clothe, based solely on your feelings, and running totally contrary to the facts and the polling that has been coming out
for months now. Sanders has
always been the stronger election candidate in polls for
months now, and including all of April when they now are officially a historically reliable indicator.
But then you have the temerity to turn around and blame Sanders because Hillary Clinton is now losing to Trump, because she can't pull in Sander supporters?
Which is it, Frank, is she the best candidate to beat Trump or isn't she?
Finally, even Nate Silver is starting to wise up and
admit some hard truths about Hillary, namely what the almost certain reason for her losing to Trump in recent polls. And he gives her campaign some advice --the same advice I've said on this forums for months-- which is that if she doesn't drastically change course to accommodate left-wing Independents, who're now a huge swatch of voters who are "clearly to the left of her," this election will "come down to the wire." And yet, Hillary is still "triangulating," which in 2016 terms means "is working really hard to lose her national advantages to Trump." The proof is in the pudding. The Democrats have pissed off the left-wing Independent voters they need every election in order to secure victory. And if they were honest --if the DNC-backed pundits on MSNBC, CNN,
et al were honest for even a single second-- they would acknowledge that their/DWS/Clinton's slandering of Independents, the incredibly dishonest and scurrilous character assassinations of these voters are
exactly why Hillary is tied to Trump.
This is a self-inflicted wound that Hillary and her mouth pieces have performed on themselves, and they have no one to blame but themselves. Apparently this is new information, but calling people who you must have to vote for you a "cult of white males," "violent individuals," "usurpers," "supporters of white dominance," "angry men," "sexists," "low information voters," "shouting lunatics," and a "threat" does not draw them out to vote for you. And I'm not totally certain when this became news, or why Hillary supporters didn't, can't, and won't see this.
