So they are blaming Bernie Sanders for HRC's unfavorables? Excuse me while I laugh

[merbex]

She has always had high unfavorables when she runs for office.

If Martin O'Malley made it this far, they'd be blaming him.

Or Jim Webb.

Or even Lincoln Chafee.

Because it is never HRC's responsibility that so many people do not like or trust her.

She wins - people LOVE her and Bill and the whole kit and kaboodle who tags along with them. She takes the credit.

She loses?

Even after it has been TOLD to the country by the talking heads that she is inevitable?

Guess the people in RI, Indiana, West Virginia, Oregon, and half the voting electorate in Kentucky, did not see or hear that memo - so it HAS to be because Bernie Sanders' FAULT that people are still voting for him; he is making the voters dislike her.

Dumbest excuse for a weak candidate EVER.

If he had dropped out, wonder what the % of those elections would be?

All fired up and ready to run to the polling place to vote for HRC?

Umm, no - what is her message anyway?

If no-one ran against her......she sort of threw Obama's foreign policy since she's been gone under the bus.....so what's her message?

What was it besides a referendum on she, herself and IT IS HER TURN.

Enlighten me please - take me back to that 'listening tour' and the opening days of her campaign......wtf was her message?

But it's all Bernie's fault. Got it.

4. Highest unfavs for both candidates in history - the Parties are imploding right before your eyes

But you cling to that hope.

7. no

her numbers do not go up.

It just doesn't happen. She can't attract new people, and she loses old ones.

9. Bush and the Republicans Loved Her , they knew she could be depended on a vote for War.

5. I have no idea why she is running. I've looked at the website, but

I think she is running for the same reason Trump is - Ego, Money, Power.

Maybe that is why all politicians run for office, and I am just naive. I know that when Al Gore and John Kerry and Obama were running, I believed 100% that it was because they wanted to make a positive difference and serve their fellow citizens. I know I get the same vibe with Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren and especially Bernie Sanders.

Maybe they just "fake sincerity" better than others. Bush Junior always gave off a nasty vibe, and Cheney makes me want to grab a cross and some garlic. I also used to get that "I'm working for you, America" feel from Bill Clinton, but the magic has faded since 2008. Maybe it was when the Clinton-Bush Haiti thing turned into such a debacle and it felt like he'd gone over to the Dark Side.

6. Rich woman with nothing else to do..n/t

[grasswire]

8. personal hegemony

Global authority.
The power to shape the nations of the world and to profit from it, using the world's largest military.
Riches untold. The Foundation was just a test.

The problem for us it that the lust driving the Clintons is also responsible for recklessness. They are imminently blackmailable. They are ripe for manipulations.

10. Deep sense of entitlement

For at least thirty years She's been obsessed with being the first female president. But an entire adult life of political calculations instead of morals has turned her delusional. If someone were to ask her why she wants to be president, she would come up with yet another lie. The only authentic thing about her is the millions she making secret speeches pandering to the owning class.

11. So you're saying that a generic candidate with an opponent has the same favorables as that

candidate would without an opponent? This makes no sense. The job of a politician is to draw contrast between themselves and their opponent. Of course some of the negative views of Hillary have to do with Sanders' attacks (which did more than just draw a contrast). No one says that it is all his fault, but why don't you save this thread, and compare her negatives today to those 2 weeks after Sanders leaves the race.

12. Her favorables go up when she's NOT running for office

Because that's how so many of us prefer her.
