Cenk Uygur Warns Democrats: Don't Bet The Country On Hoping Clinton Remains Less Unpopular Than Trum


TYT: Hillary Clinton’s unfavorability polls could make her the most widely disliked candidate the Democratic party has ever nominated. The only worse candidate happens to be Donald Trump. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down.

Until the convention(or some unforeseen event) and first round of voting no one but a total idiot can say it is a fact sanders lost. You could say that you do not think Sanders will get enough votes in remaining states to get pledged delegate majority but that is not a fact. A fact is something that can be proven. And trying to argue it as a fact is just silly and stupid opinion parroting.

Even after Hillary cleaned up on super Tuesday, Cenk thought that Bernie had "won".

He once called Bernie the "frontrunner"

Doesn't sound like someone that should be listened to with much seriousness.

By the way, he has pushed for Bernie supporters to back Hillary in the general, but you wouldn't know that if you never watch.

If you were taking notes on everything she was saying, you'd have to go back and cross out stuff she said because she changed it in a later telling.

As a lifelong Democrat there are four Democrats that stand out for me Warren Hearnes former Govvernor of Missouri, Joe Lieberman former Vice Presidential Candidate and William and Hillary Clinton. My opinion has nothing to do with politics in 2015 or 2016. I have much foreboding and dread. I am also about as far from a right winger as you can get. Donald Trump is an anarchist, Ted Cruz was Lucifer in the flesh and the entire Republican Party borders on domestic terrorism.

Just because the electoral map favors Democrats right now, that doesn't make it so. Democrats have to get their foot on the gas and keep it down all the way past November 8th.

Hillary needs to improve her image and start looking like a healer of the growing rift in the Democratic Party. That's on her to do. Nobody can do that for her, but Hillary.

Democratic voters have chosen Hillary. It is what it is. Sanders won't be the nominee, he's too far behind in pledged delegates. These constant attacks only serve to rile her opponents and do not help in unifying Democrats against the real enemy.

Unfortunately for Sanders and his supporters, this is not high school. Popularity is not the defining factor in the nomination process. We are nominating someone who will be a potential president, we are not choosing the prom king or queen.
