How Hillary will cruise to an easy 2016 victory and why that will upset some on the left.

This is just my opinion.

I believe that Hillary Clinton will coast to an easy victory in 2016 even winning a few red and purple states for these reasons:

1) America is comfortable with Hillary Clinton. She's worked hard behind the scenes for decades and the last several years on a very public stage.

2) Americans over 40 remember the Clinton presidency fondly. Even Republicans liked the 90's. The economy was rockin and unemployment was low.

3) Republicans will cross over. To your average Republican, they do not feel that Hillary Clinton represents a threat. They expect Hillary to run a government that functions and is prosperous.

4) Republican lawmakers will work with Hillary Clinton. President Obama has an oil and water compatibility with many Republican lawmakers while Hillary will bring lawmakers together.

5) People like Hillary Clinton. She's admired across the political spectrum. She will be the first female President and I expect her to be 70%-ish popular for her 8 years in office.



These reasons also explain why she will be challenged by the left. She's not going to be a proponent for liberalism other than the token bone thrown here and there. But her administration and presidency may be the most prosperous and positive in the past 50+ years.
