(14,255 posts)Hillary. Even though the GOP base seems to hate her already, and even though, as far as the GOP is concerned, Hillary has enough baggage to fill the Grand Canyon, and they have been planning on how to beat Hillary for oh, perhaps eight years or so. They would even be able to use the current wacko investigating sub-committee stuff against her. And - the GOP base seems remarkably immune to logic and facts, so patiently explaining that the GOP base will of course see that Benghazi and email-gate are baseless is irrelevant.

(45,251 posts)Meanwhile, this is the first time I agree with Ann Coulter. I've always thought that Hillary would be highly vulnerable in the general. In 2007, I looked over the field based upon ability to defeat the Republican. Very quickly, I narrowed the field to Obama and Hillary. It took me only a few seconds to choose Obama because I thought she'd lose the general.
This time, like Coulter, I believe that Bernie will be the stronger candidate in the general. That was my opinion even before the wiped email server, etc. hit the fan and before Bernie began drawing tens of thousands of people to his rallies. Time and events have only strengthened my view.
However, I think we have to get on media, especially MSNBC, for the way media covers him. And, we have to do our job in social media.

It's Hill's 60 percent negatives among the largest group of Independent voters that should worry us.

(14,459 posts)She's not going to be able to pick up more votes unless she lies- everyone pretty much knows where she stands on things and doesn't support the same old crap that's been going on for 35 years. It really doesn't help that the Clintons have allowed it to slip that they are basically adopted into the Bush Family now.

(18,791 posts)I don't think she can win the final vote.
There's Bush Burnout...Clinton Burnout...but when it comes to Hillary Burnout, well it's big.
That's why I feel that odds are great that Bernie can become President....we just need to have him keep talking to people!
WE must continue to spread the word AND get on the lame MSM to give him (fair) coverage.
Oh then there is the DLC and DWS...we need to get on them too.
Go Bernie!
