Sorry, Hillary supporters.

138. Its politically naive.

There is a small group of you who think she has no chance of winning. There is a much much larger group who is sure she will beat any GOP candidate.

Now, you can come to DU and spend your time trying to convince all of those people who already believe she will win, that she can't.

You've still done nothing to advance your preferred candidate.

And I'll go further. Many of those who already believe she will beat any GOP opponent have watched the endless shrill right wing attacks against her over the last 20 or so years.

And its only hardened their view about her, and their resolve to have her win has grown stronger. Many of the current attacks from the left sound exactly like the attacks from the right, and they will get tossed into the same bucket.

Before your average Democrat even considers switching from Hillary to some one else, they'll have to see that alternative candidate as a sure thing come General Election time.

Having said this, you should feel free to discount those "aging female boomers". Those smart, highly qualified women who have been passed over for promotions and paid less than male peers, over and over and over, all throughout their careers.

Go ahead and discount them, talk down to them, use terms like "aging" as if its a negative, and then expect them, and their sons and daughters, to appreciate your candor. And then magically shift to your preferred candidate.

Seems like a brilliant political strategy for your alternative candidate, whoever that is.
