Biggest problem for Hillary. People just don't like the woman.

She's abusive, abrasive, demonstrates contempt for the average working American, and seems to have no issue with laying off 10s of 1000s from jobs if it suits her agenda. People equate her with crook and liar too.

Hillary and the likeability problem: Now ALLIES line up to warn she could lose to Trump because of her 'weakness' as a candidate (and Bill might not help)

I agree but I will beat others to the punch. You have started I don't know how many similar threads. There is nothing new here that you couldn't have added to one of the other ones.

So many thread starts about Hillary, Kitty. She's got you running scared, huh?

And newsflash--people don't like Trump, either. And by a much wider margin. (But you'll never hear that from the Daily Mail.)

Yeah, you should be scared.

The democrats learned from the mistakes republicans made in the primaries. The republicans were complacent and dismissive for far too long and then when they finally woke up it was too late to stop Trump. Hillary and the democrats are not going to let that happen. They are going to come out the gate using fear that Trump could win as a way to energize their 'get out the vote' effort.

This is a typical Trump tactic. Flood the board with lots and lots of crap in the hopes that any real discussion of their hero's many shortcomings is buried under all this garbage. There should be a limit to how many threads one poster can start in a 24 hour period. Without that limit, more often than not this sub-forum ends up being little more than the OP's spam.

This type of post / narrative is truly bizarre. This isn't a wrestling match or baseball game. If the candidate you support wins and the candidate I support does not, it's not like you get a box of cookies and I get no dessert.


Either way, we all have to live under the president that is elected. I think social media has almost turned this into a group mentality where people act as if they are on one team with the other team as winners / losers. Truthfully, I think we all are being manipulated that we hate the other side and love our side. I would imagine that most americans live a life that is not so black and white that one president will be just great, and the other an absolute disaster.

I didn't like McCain in 2008 (I did like him in 2000 and probably would have voted for him if he had made it onto the ballot), but I didn't think he would be an absolute disaster as president. (Palin was something else altogether.) I didn't like Romney, but I didn't think he'd be an absolute disaster as president.

I don't like Jeb! or Rubio and I really, really dislike Cruz, but any one of those three at least has a basic understanding of the presidency and how government and the world works. I probably would't like the direction they wanted to take the country, but I wouldn't be afraid they were going to start WW III because they have not even the slightest understanding of diplomacy or discretion or of how to treat our allies, or are too thin-skinned to absorb a perceived slight or insult without retaliating and escalating the situation with a middle school-level twitter storm, or is simply just plain ignorant about everything a president needs to know.

I worry about all of that with a possible Trump presidency.

I do believe Trump would be an absolute disaster. For the country and for the world.

It's ironic that what you said about Hillary can definitely be applied to Trump.

I think the irony is completely lost on you.

From the article:

'She's horrible at running, but she's fantastic at governing"
That's probably right on both counts. I prefer that to the reverse, quite frankly.
