Hillary Clinton Is More Vulnerable in 2016 Than You Think
Hillary Clinton is a primary candidate whose strength has little precedent, one who seems poised to sweep the primaries without facing any serious challenge.
The general election is a different story. Mrs. Clinton would not cruise to victory, and, yes, she could easily lose.
But Mrs. Clinton will not be a Democratic Eisenhower, a popular, senior statesperson who cruises to an easy victory. Her popularity has already faded considerably over the last two years. Her support could erode even further as the campaign unfolds, or as she comes under new scrutiny, be it for foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation, her private email account as secretary of state or new issues.
As Slate’s Alec MacGillis put it, there is “a sort of collective amnesia among Obama supporters when it comes to their former estimation of Clinton — a reluctance to reckon fully with their aversion to her then and what has come of it since.”
There is also evidence, especially in state polling, that Mrs. Clinton’s support from traditionally Democratic, white, conservative voters is unsustainable — especially in the South and Appalachia.
I can't keep quoting at this point.
We really need an alternative. But there are none.
Again, 6 years of killing the bench, losing States and Congressional seats.
Hello Kos? Any more wisdom?
