(23,156 posts)to how hated she is outside of a relatively small part of the Democratic Party. All of the polls that seem to show she would win in 2016 are basically name recognition polls, and are not remotely indicative of what things would be like once real campaigning stops.
Don't think for a minute that any single thing that can be thrown against her, whether deserved or not, whether fair or not, will be thrown.
More to the point, she comes with a lot of baggage, and is hardly a genuine liberal or progressive. Maybe she was once, but not for a long time. She's been a long way from even the upper middle classes at least since Bill was elected in 1992. Twenty-two years ago now. And ever since they left the White House, she's lived a life of privilege and luxury and puts here squarely in the 1%. It shows in many of the tone-deaf sorts of comments she makes.
To keep on hyping, "Only Hillary can win, only Hillary can win" is to not take a close look at the world as it is today, who the voters really are, all across the political spectrum.
