This is the idiot Hillary is running against

[MaggieD]

That is all you need to know to get your party unity on. IMHO.

[HumanityExperiment]

1. does it concern you that there is only an 8 point gap between HRC and Trump with latest poll?

n/t

[pkdu]

2. It concerns me .....that you haven't moved on from the Primary n/t

[HumanityExperiment]

11. Facts...

HRC recognizes the issue, why can't you?

"I personally know I have work to do on this front," Clinton said at a Rainbow Push Collation luncheon, from prepared remarks. Clinton, the presumptive Democratic nominee, spoke at length about a deterioration of trust throughout the country and institutions, but argued that her own trustworthiness issues are a byproduct of politicians looking to score political points and "25 years' worth of wild accusations."
"A lot of people tell pollsters they don't trust me. Now I don't like hearing that and I have thought a lot about what is behind it," she said.
Clinton has long struggled to explain why voters don't trust her, but Monday marked the most thorough and comprehensive attempt she has made to address the issue during this campaign.
"It certainly is true, I have made mistakes. I don't know anyone who hasn't," she said"

[sheshe2]

26. Was she commenting on this poll at that time?

The answer is no.

[HumanityExperiment]

30. I'm commenting on facets as to why the gap is only 8...

http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/americans-distaste-for-both-trump-and-clinton-is-record-breaking/

"No past candidate comes close to Clinton, and especially Trump, in terms of engendering strong dislike a little more than six months before the election. Clinton’s average “strongly unfavorable” rating in probability sample polls from late March to late April, 37 percent, is about 5 percentage points higher than the previous high between 19803 and 2012"

So, again... relate that to this comment..

VIOLA.... you get it now?

[sheshe2]

36. So Voila.

The answer is no, she was not commenting on that poll number. Do you have some stats on other wins and losses in the GE? The percentages?

[HumanityExperiment]

37. reality pops your optics bubble...

HRC acknowledges the facts, why can't you?

[KMOD]

50. It would be wonderful if Bernie could let go of his ego

and self reflect as well.

We're still waiting.

[MaggieD]

3. Not in the least

It will continue to grow and grow. Can you tell me of another recent presidential election (like in our lifetime) where you were concerned that 8% was not enough of a lead?

[MaggieD]

15. Well apparently more favorable than who she ran against

Like most women her favorables are great as long as she isn't asking for a promotion.

Thanks in advance.

[HumanityExperiment]

32. Facts...

[Renew Deal]

5. Who is the last candidate to win the GE by 8 or more?

[KMOD]

51. Seriously.

If this keeps up, (knock on wood) it's going to be a landslide victory.

[TwilightZone]

6. "only"

What was the gap in Obama/Romney?

Try answering the question.

18. I'm in the present...

20. An 8-point lead isn't a problem.

Your concern is noted. Not to mention obvious.

25. Maybe it would be more appropriate to just answer the gentleman's question.

I am still waiting to learn what "TT" means:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12512222496#post34

[HumanityExperiment]

28. ...wheee...

boingy...boingy...boingy... ...boingy...boingy...boingy

have a day!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

31. Do you or do you not think that using

Do you or do you not think that the usage of an abundance of emoticons and neologisms is good or poor camouflage for paucity of thought?


Thank you in advance.


Oh, what does "TT" mean:


http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=2224043

[HumanityExperiment]

34. ...wheee...

boingy...boingy...boingy... ...boingy...boingy...boingy

Have a 'new' day!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

38. What does "TT" mean ?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=2224043


I asked my gf and she shot me a dirty look.

Is it obscene or denigrating?

[sheshe2]

41. I found a lot of possible meanings.

In the Urban Dictionary.

Trailer Trash was one of them.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

43. Is it or is it not fair to assume the worst until the poster clarifies?

HMMMM

[DemocratSinceBirth]

44. ...

[sheshe2]

46. ...

[DemocratSinceBirth]

16. What humility. It's divine.

[KMOD]

52. Why can't Bernie, or you, for that matter

recognize how divisive and petty he's looking?

[sheshe2]

47. Here...

They won't answer, had to find it myself.

[MaggieD]

29. The fact that she is humble instead of arrogant?

What does that have to do with your comment that she is "only" leading by 8%? Who has won a GE by more than 8% in your lifetime?

[KMOD]

53. Why are you spamming this thread?

I recognize this as spam, why can't you?

[MaggieD]

54. LOL!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

12. Who is the last candidate to win by more than eight points?

Thank you in advance.

[onehandle]

45. Reagan in '84. That's why Republican are scared shitless by Hillary.

They know what's coming.

[Lance Bass esquire]

33. If it was September yes..now? Now no biggie n/t

[HumanityExperiment]

35. Facts...

HRC acknowledges the facts, why can't you?

[Lance Bass esquire]

39. Say what?

I am not concerned about Hillary being only 8 points ahead in june...I would be in September. ...HRC knows the facts...why don't I..????


Got me..you lost me

[MFM008]

48. only 8 points?

How about an electoral landslide???
Seeing how its a 3 pt margin yeah it could be 5 points but it could also be 11 points.
It doesn't mean much till Labor day but its hopeful.

[KMOD]

49. at the moment? no.

That's historically pretty damn high.

[WheelWalker]

56. Tanzan and Ekido were once traveling together down a muddy road. A heavy rain was still falling.

Coming around a bend, they met a lovely girl in a silk kimono and sash, unable to cross the intersection.

"Come on, girl" said Tanzan at once. Lifting her in his arms, he carried her over the mud.

Ekido did not speak again until that night when they reached a lodging temple. Then he no longer could restrain himself. "We monks don't go near females," he told Tanzan, "especially not young and lovely ones. It is dangerous. Why did you do that?"

"I left the girl there," said Tanzan. "Are you still carrying her?"

[TrogL]

4. This reminds me of another Republican

Paraphrased

While all you "reality-based" people run around collecting your evidence, we act, making it the new reality.

[Iliyah]

10. Yes I rea that, and yes, he's a idiot and a very dangerous one

representing a major party, the GOP. Corporate media is still giving him "free" coverage, and his party ain't trying to stop him or at least tame him. His surrogates are horrible as well. CNN just verified corporate media's intent in swaying the less informed.

Sad.

[onehandle]

42. His fans and Hillary's enemies are impotent trolls.

Pathetic keyboard warriors trying to divide us.

We are more united now than we were in 2008 at this time.

They lose.

[fifty2tees]

57. We Must Not Underestimate The Power Of Stupidity

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/stupidity/the-power-of-stupidity

I created this Kickstarter project to help raise awareness that we need to put aside differences, rally behind our candidate and VOTE against Trump. I know for some, Hillary isn't the best option, but inaction may be as detrimental as voting for Trump. Please share this project, so we can defeat this guy ... and if you like the cool design of the t-shirts, go ahead and support the project.

Here's the video:

Thanks!

[silvershadow]

58. I do hope she wins. He is not fit. I cannot imagine this country if the other side

gets to appoint SCOTUS justices. (*BTW, that little trick they played with the opening this time should have repercussions for them, in due time. I hope we have long memories and stiff spines).

[Vattel]

59. I am happy that the Republicans chose a hopelessly bad candidate.

I have no doubt that Clinton will win in November.
