Mike Malloy - Mrs. Clinton: Will You Drop Out?



Hillary Clinton’s plan to attract disaffected Republicans to her camp is a very perilous strategy. Republicans, no matter how much they dislike Donald Trump, are far more likely not to vote at all than they are to vote for a Democrat. In tacking far enough to the right to appeal to Republican voters, Mrs. Clinton risks losing a significant part of her base.

Most of Bernie Sanders’s supporters will support Mrs. Clinton at the polls only if they see enough difference between her policies and the Republicans’. If Mrs. Clinton moves too far to the right, however, she will forfeit these votes. An attempt to be all things to all voters will lose more votes from Democrats than it will gain from Republicans.

Eight years ago, Mrs. Clinton and her advisers snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. If they do so again this year, the result will be disastrous.

He wasn't talking about the primary, he was talking about her disastrous ploy to encourage republicans to support her in the GE.

Hillary Clinton holds a 12-point lead over Bernie Sanders nationally, but in a hypothetical match-up against Donald Trump, Sanders does much better than the current Democratic front-runner.

As Ted Cruz and John Kasich exited the Republican primary race last week — making Trump the party's presumptive nominee — Clinton and Sanders have used Trump's candidacy to argue that they would be in the best position to defeat him in the general election in November.

When respondents in our NBC News|SurveyMonkey Weekly Election Tracking Poll were asked whether they would cast a vote for Trump or either of the Democratic candidates still in the race, Sanders is the favorite over Trump by 13 points.

Clinton also beats Trump, but the race is decidedly closer — 49 percent to 44 percent. These results are according to the latest from the NBC News|SurveyMonkey Weekly Election Tracking Poll conducted online from May 2 through May 8 of 12,714 adults including 11,089 registered voters.

That's the way I feel.

One more Republican Lite will destroy America.

A real Republican would destroy us even faster.

people will be shocked at how many voters will crawl out of the woodwork to vote against her. There are a lot of people who either believe a woman has no business in public life at all, or if they're otherwise okay with that, despise her and all she represents.

And then there are all those who might otherwise vote for the Democratic nominee who she's manage to alienate completely.

Ever since 2012 she has been operating on the principle that the Democratic nomination was hers by some sort of divine right, and has made no real effort to understand what the Democratic base is all about, has been going on her merry way hanging out with bankers, getting her six figure payments for half hour speeches reassuring those bankers that she will not do anything at all to upset their applecart, has pretended she's on the side of women and children while paying the women who work for her less than the men in her employ, has gleefully overseen the bombing of many women and children in the middle east -- need I go on?

She is the worst possible candidate for President, possibly only second to Donald Trump (although none of the original 4,000 or so Republican hopefuls were a whole lot better) and we can only look forward to more of the same if she's elected: lower wages, more jobs being sent overseas, more wars overseas while wounded soldiers get tossed aside like rag dolls, huge payouts to bankers and hedge fund managers, more jobs outsourced, a cut back in Social Security and Medicare because we have to pay for all those wars somehow.

Have I missed anything?
