Yes... big assumption. Could be just the fact she's running, unexpectedly, for President.

While some people are attending her rallies, I think that it's more out of curiosity and being able to say that they were there if she became the nominee instead of committing to vote for her.

The internals of the numbers would be interesting to know. Why are people unhappy with her (assuming that is true).

(31,261 posts)11. I like her as a person and some of her major causes like sexual violence and harassment,
getting rid of them everywhere. But she has never been an Obama scale Senator.
But, howdy, would I love to see her running the Defense Department. There are many mysogonists there that need to be retired.

she was running for re election and here she is running for pres. I agree that it will eventually fade away and go back up.
