Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumHillarys negatives are high, thanks to the Corporate Media. But there's good news...
The Corporate Media and the BSers love to point out how HRC's negatives are so high. The BSers tout these numbers as evidence that she is unfit to beat the Republican nominee. Indeed, they point out that in ***hypothetical*** match-ups, BS beats the ReThug nominee by a greater margin than she does, and therefore BS should be the Democratic Party nominee.
Here's what they don't acknowledge:
1. HRC, by every electoral metric, beats BS. More pledged delegates, more Super Delegates, and many more votes than BS. If he's the better candidate, then he should be beating her soundly. He is not.
2. HRC beats the ReThug candidate in popular votes, by far.
So even with the high negatives, one would think HRC should be losing, right? BS should be beating her blindly, especially since the Corporate Media has treated this guy with kid gloves. And yet he is not. HUGE rallies ought to translate into high vote counts, right? Not.
And insofar as he's the so-called "Revolutionary Candidate," one would think that he would have the numbers that Barack Obama had, right? Right. He doesn't.
And...if he's such a change agent, his support among young voters is not translating to high voter turnout on the Democratic side as it did in 2008 for Obama, right? Right!
In sum, HRC supporters should be proud of the fact that despite all this negative coverage directed at HRC, she's still winning with more votes, more support, and outperforms Trump as well.

(86,307 posts)instead she's still demanding Hillary show transcripts that really are insignificant to anything. She & Bernie are now threatening to blow up the party they've crashed in order to even get on a ballot anywhere and contest the rules they agreed to a year ago. There was a good interview today that I thought was really good even thought the interviewer was Andrea Mitchell who absolutely loathes Hillary. She was nice to Hillary's face but tried to trash her in the "analysis" afterward.
The interview...

(86,307 posts)washing dishes and my hands were wet so I bit my tongue and endured it to see what she was going to try and blow past us this time.
Makes me cringe as much as some others in the R party when they speak.

(2,577 posts)In all the hoopla and noise about Bernie, everyone neglects the need for a Democratic Senate and a Democratic House. Nothing will happen without that. We need a Democrat fighting for ALL Democrats up and down the ticket. I have not seen Bernie or his followers show any interest in that.
The fact that his rallies have not translated into bigger turnout for him also show a lack of genuine campaign organization.
I just want to get everyone back in the real world, but I guess that's not happening on Democratic side anytime soon.

(70,047 posts)about Sanders to work with the Dem.Party. Everything is about him--and his need to win over super delegates. over and over--that is all we hear.
