(53,475 posts)A fatally flawed candidate with record unfavorables and an indictment hanging over her head.

Means without exception.
By the way, do you know what the opposite of "worst nightmare" is called?

(30,481 posts)Then on to the right wing delusional dream of an indictment.
Not surprised at all.
The op was one hundred percent positive.

(30,481 posts)You did hit it out of the park with your sexual innuendo.
My op was one hundred percent positive.
Scuba
(53,475 posts)... she's the most unpopular Democrat ever.
NCTraveler
(30,481 posts)We are going to fight like hell to ensure Clinton is elected over those right wing extremists. Really excited to put them in the dustbin of history.
Happy Hump Day Scuba.

and this ...
The Democratic Party knows this, the Republican Party knows this, the Ruling Class knows this- and they've been astonishingly successful at making sure the Working Class never learns this.
The status quo was rolling along just fine, until Bernie Sanders came along and mucked it up with his crazy ideas about democracy, equality and justice." ~ Anonymous

(30,481 posts)Cheers for indictments and distrust of Government. Really a strange place.
You really got a lot out of my comment.
I do love the direction you went in your first highlight about being brainwashed. I got a chuckle out of it. Meanwhile, it isn't Clinton supporters hanging on every word of rarfucker extraordinaire HA Goodman. Lots of that at the site you are linking to as well.
"Well-trained lay Democrats." Love that. Interesting that is determined to be a flattering term by you.
The second highlight is just drivel.
Scuba
(53,475 posts)"The second highlight is just drivel." Does this imply that you think Democrats are fighting as hard for the working class as Republicans are for the owner class? Or that if they did, the Republicans would thrive anyway?
Some 380 DU members didn't find the statement "drivel."

(17,064 posts)Sanders treated her with kid gloves...with all the whining from Camp Weathervane about 'mean' Bernie and 'BernieBros', I'm quite sure Clinton is going to wither under all the nastiness from Trump .

(4,835 posts)Bernie is clearly more liberal, more socialist.
When it comes to progress, Bernie's campaign is all about returning to the good old days. The days when CEOs didn't make so much and when the banks didn't make so much. A time when workers made more money, and college was possible.
The last time things were like that in this country was the 90's, the last time people could go to college and get a technology degree and expect to get a job after graduating.
We have a whole new era of progress waiting for us in the world that involves new products that produce renewable energy and all we have to do is turn our attention to it.
The good paying jobs will come and bank oversight will come and minimum wage will come under the next Clinton administration. We can expect these things because the Clinton's had a plan last time, and they worked hard for health care for Americans and getting Americans into college.
That's progress, that's what progressives do, conservatives are the ones that promise to return us to the good old days.
Bernie's not a progressive he's a liberal trying to appeal to emotion by endlessly repeating the same applause lines.
His time has passed. It is time to accept it and fight for the democrats down ticket.

(15,772 posts)There is way too much baggage and it seems a shame when you pit election chances on who has the better negatives.
DCBob
(24,689 posts)Not a good position for him.. he hates being behind. I suspect he will lose it and start screaming and threatening people who question him and remind him that he is far behind in the polls. It will be ugly.

(12,689 posts)And not in a negative way. He implied that the system was rigged against Sanders, which in effect is trying to give Sanders a boost.

(7,723 posts)How will independents and swing voters view that? She already has poor favorability ratings.
When Trump says she is a warmonger who voted for the Iraq war disaster, how will she respond?

(4,311 posts)Where Trump says something so stupid, so completely bone-headed and wrong and offensive and awful, that Hillary just declines to respond and instead waves a hand at him like "Exhibit A, your honor!"

(2,461 posts)the chance of many being disgusted by both even more may grow to the point of apathy. That's my fear. She's going to have to appoint some very Bernie sympathetic people to overcome this.

(30,613 posts)Trump has steadily eroded common sense and increased his margins over time.
We need all the advantage we can get.
NCTraveler
(30,481 posts)We do appear to be on pretty solid ground at the national level. That makes me happy but not comfortable.
I really don't place much merit in these polls. They are measuring a snapshot in time, of an even that has not started, with players we are unsure of. lol. We have a battle ahead.

(28,581 posts)She stands for the status quo, he stands for not the status quo. Also way too much baggage out there.
