(26,549 posts)So yeah, Cruz is doing better with independents. In some polls. Obviously, this varies by poll.
Democrats are 30% of the electorate. Clinton could get every single Democratic voter in the general election, and still lose by a mile.
She's very far underwater on approval and trust with Democratic-leaning independents, the voters she needs to actually win the election. These voters are also to the left of the median Democrat, so her strategy of "turn to the right for the GE" is exactly the wrong thing to do.
And this is before we get the dozen or so "scandals" that will be put out by the Republicans if she's the nominee. They've been well aware of her intentions to run for President for the last 20 years. They've been saving plenty of material.
With her track record of letting those "scandals" brew for years, that massive trust/like deficit, and heading away from the voters she needs to win, Clinton is an extremely dangerous candidate for us to nominate.

(26,549 posts)pointing to likely Democratic primary voters is not exactly being honest.

(30,481 posts)Great numbers for Clinton with under two months left until the Iowa Caucus.
jeff47
(26,549 posts)And a rather obvious one at that. Kinda odd you missed it.
NCTraveler
(30,481 posts)As I said, great new for Clinton this close to the Iowa Caucus!!!
jeff47
(26,549 posts)Since the discussions she was referencing were about the general. And my reply was to her. Again, really not sure why you aren't getting this.

(16,685 posts)Is in question. For some unfathomable reason many Democrats seem to like her. It's everyone else that's the problem.

(16,685 posts)Good luck getting her elected with less than a third of the electorate.
Oh I forgot...you once claimed she wasn't your candidate...
1StrongBlackMan
(31,849 posts)recognizing reality, plus my meh towards Bernie as a candidate, must make me a HRC supporter.
After all fire is hot and I don't like lamb ... so I must love wine.
But that said ... should HRC win the Democratic nomination, I will work my ass off to see her elected.

(11,366 posts)She's a war monger.
But, I guess some people think voting to kill dark skinned people with no real reason "qualifies" her.
