2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumHillary leads among likely voters, Sanders among registered voters
Both candidates are strong, and one can cherrypick all they want. Sanders attracts the crowds, Hillary gets the votes. Sanders wins among independents, Hillary among Democrats; Sanders wins youth, Hillary wins people of color. Anyone can spin the info in their favor, but really it's all meaningless until the general election gets underway.
Among likely voters, Hillary would beat Trump, 41.3 to 38.2, Sanders would lose, 44.4 to 44.2

(1,884 posts)I don't think there is nearly the skeletons and dead bodies that Hillary has collected.
Bernie may have a walk in closet, but you would need a golf cart to tour Hillary's closet.

(1,884 posts)BTY, not all Hillary's baggage has been unpacked yet. Wait a few more years for her SoS years to be better documented..

(598 posts)Honeymooning in Moscow, writing about woman wanting to be raped by multiple men, praising Fidel Castro, being a draft dodger.... And that's just a start.
They won't be fair attacks but there are huge percentages of Americans who will buy them.
