but the HRC gang has constantly marginalized the Sanders voters.

Burning bridges isn't a good idea, especially before you get to them.

Just 11% are liberals and 24% are conservatives... the rest are in between. I think that means the vast majority are open to vote for any candidate from either party.. liberal or conservative or moderate. I suspect their main factor would be more about the candidate qualities and rather than liberal or conservative policies.

four swing states,do or die states for both parties.

She's the most hated candidate in history. The tiny fraction of the total electorate that will vote for her in the GE already did in the primaries (or will soon). Outside of that her only potential pickups are people who couldn't find the limited polling places on primary day.

Sputtering hyperbole about how she's THE MOST HATED PERSON EVER!!!! isn't worth replying to.

The big gripe during the open primaries was that they weren't fair to her because the independents were all going for Bernie. Every approval rating this year predicts she wlill be the least liked major party candidate ever. I don't think that's hyperbole. It's just plain fact. Outside of her narrow base people can't stand her.

about open primaries. Caucasus yes. There was evidence of shenanigans there. If she has a "narrow base" Sanders must be even more narrow since he is losing HUGE.

"While they see reducing inequality as important, swing voters show less intensity on this score than Democrats. Like Republicans, they give higher priority to stimulating growth than to fairness"

Everyone already expects her to do better by ignoring progressive principles and not acting like a democrat. They already know she lied to win the primaries and now will say whatever she needs to in the GE. The minute she starts to "pivot" to appeal to these independents her lack of integrity will highlight why she is the sort of inside politician that have driven the whole Trump and Sanders movements.

i don't think
I need to name names!

Bury reality from view and of course people will accept the shiny happy nonsense peddled to keep them complacent while Big Business and Wall St. pick their pockets and steal their government

President Obama and Michelle Obama plan on campaigning for Hillary. No matter how much Bernie supporters hate our president most DEMS love him.

Clinton will lose here in a landslide.

Bernie will not.

I happen to be a swing voter, as you like to say. I'm a proud independent who saw the decay of the Democratic Party and left at the appropriate time.

nominee,although I think we'll win it by a small margin.

Her drug position is medieval.

has 2 positions that might be considered liberal,although not as liberal as Hillarys. One is his drug policy according to this chart:

Although if marijuana legislation is your litmus test for voting,Rand Paul gets very high marks. In every other category,every republican is "medieval". You make whatever choice you want,no one is forcing you to do otherwise.

Who will make it a top priority. Who will provide bold, muscular global leadership on known polluters like fracking, the TPP etc.

That's Bernie Sanders or Jill Stein. Voting for Hillary is like voting for a Republican since her tepid incrementalism is as destructive to out planet as climate change deniers.

Scientists believe the leading edge of severe weather and environmental events will be snowballing within the next few years. Certainly within 5 years it will be very obvious even to those who are the most apathetic.

I have to live with myself and will vote my conscience so in 5 years I will know I didn't knowingly vote for the coming disasters.

It's not Chelsea Beast it's the "Whitehouse got a new dog".

Unfortunately for your joke Chelsea is not on the board of directors of The Daily Beast. She is on the board of IAC though, a corporation of which the daily beast is a small part.

I'd say that remove would put tinkering in articles a bit beyond Chelsea's reach.

But you be you. Facts are for little people.

general election and focus instead on taking back the Senate?

What your experiencing is called a presidential election,it's where the nominees from both parties try to get the most votes from the most people.

forum could actually force you to do something against your will,but that would be silly.

Certainly swing votes are a mixed bag, but attempting to appeal to them is also a mixed bag. If those appeals don't also strike a chord with the base you risk alienating a larger group in pursuit of a smaller.

IMHO Clinton should start raising the ghosts of democratic success stories such as infrastructure maintenance and repair. After 70 years most of the improvements put in place by the New Deal are crumbling. It shouldn't be too difficult to merge imagery from the WPA into a democratic campaign. Democratic voters still identify with those efforts and it would motivate registered democrats to go to the polls.
