NP: She may win because of the electoral advantage the Democrats have but right now there is an sense of panic among some Democrats who cannot fathom why Trump is doing so well. Someone was even speculating as to whether candidates in tight House and Senate races may decide to distance themselves from her! I can tell them the reason: she is fundamentally distrusted by the American people and that is something she cannot overcome. I don't rule out Trump saying something that will undermine his lead because he is prone to doing so but given the idiotic things that he has said since he got the nomination had it been almost any other Democratic nominee, Trump would be way behind at this point. Hillary is damaged goods ..... and that is a reality one cannot deny. |
....and had it been any other Republican nominee, Hillary would be way behind at this point. Most people planning to vote are not so much in favor of "their" candidate as they are determined to prevent the other from getting the presidency. Neither is qualified (although for different reasons). |
Exactly. |
I'm stunned that her campaign strategy of fundraising and racking up endorsements from Bush administration officials isn't resonating with young voters. |
It is mind-boggling how tone deaf she is - if she had not been a Clinton, she would likely have been a lawyer at some firm and that would have been the end of it. |
Even the oft-repeated line that she's been fending off GOP attacks for years. What was she going to do, have a nervous breakdown? She beat Rick Lazio for US senate and a tomato can for re-election. That's it. |
And yet voters under 35 support her 2:1 over Trump. Believe it or not, fundraising is a pretty good idea for a presidential candidate. Even if you're not planning to purchase extra-long paintings of yourself with the money. And the GOP establishment is voting for Hillary because they realize electing Trump would mean the end of this country. |
Millennials are gravitating to Johnson.
They cannot stand Trump and they dislike Hillary. I can't blame them but if Hillary is counting on the millennial votes she may be disappointed. If they decide not to support Johnson they will likely just sit out the presidential election. There really is nothing that would motivate millennials to vote for Hillary. She is a nearly 70 year old woman who is in it for herself. She ain't no Obama for sure. |
