(2,097 posts)I'm not a fan, and I don't want her as our party's nominee. But I do want us to win, and I do think that her biggest vulnerability is that she's going to be very easy to paint as the candidate of the status quo in an election where people are going to want change (nobody is going to look at the last eight years and say, "more of that, please!"
. Add to that the fact people are disgusted with DC, and that she's the ultimate Beltway insider; now add to THAT the fact that, in the end, she doesn't have an especially robust record to run on (an impressive resume, sure; but name your top three Hillary accomplishments. Not easy, is it?). Finally, the heir-apparent stuff will work against her; America likes to see David beat Goliath, likes to see the entitled given their comeuppance (which is why the whole rest of the country hates the Yankees and the Cowboys). Put her up against a charismatic GOP candidate with outsider-the Beltway credibility, and she would actually have a fight on her hands.
