Any other candidate who has been pummeled in the press as much as she has would have been drummed out of the race by now and surely not winning her party's nomination by >40%

Opposite of what you posted I believe it shows the durability of the Clinton brand. She is running against herself.

But the closer it is, the easier it is to steal. calimary May 2015 #4

We must be vigilant. hrmjustin May 2015 #8

Hope you are right DCB What a shame it would be to let this once in a lifetime event Laura PourMeADrink May 2015 #14

Once in a lifetime? How so? Will there be no more elections, and I've not heard the news? n/t cherokeeprogressive May 2015 #24

Hmmm...what if its Hillary v Fiorina? Thats the possible match-up that would have me most worried... Joe the Revelator May 2015 #16

There is no way in hell Fiorino could win, is there? I think the person I fear most Laura PourMeADrink May 2015 #22

The RW media (Drudge et al) is starting to slowly pump Fiorino. Joe the Revelator May 2015 #29

Yes but how could anyone compare the two resumes and say "Damn...CF is so Laura PourMeADrink May 2015 #47

If you have ever heard Fiorina speak you would know what I mean. DCBob May 2015 #33

I actually have not caught her speaking yet, just read a lot about her. Maybe thats why... Joe the Revelator May 2015 #38

She speaks well.. no doubt about that but seems she cant shake sounding like a CEO. DCBob May 2015 #51

Not a chance she gets the nomination, much less wins the general. nt onehandle May 2015 #44

Why not? Serious question. From what I've READ she seems interesting if i was on that side of Joe the Revelator May 2015 #49

Fiorina will not be the republican nominee Scootaloo May 2015 #84

it didn't work out that way in 2008. Scootaloo May 2015 #82

Well.. there was the Obama factor in 2008. DCBob May 2015 #86

Describe for me the "Obama Factor." Scootaloo May 2015 #87

Where you living under a rock back then?? DCBob May 2015 #89

I dunno, I think O'Malley might present a challenge. zappaman May 2015 #45

Biden is Plan B but I seriously doubt HRC implodes. DemocratSinceBirth May 2015 #46

I have always thought embracing your predecessor is the path of least resistance - unless Laura PourMeADrink May 2015 #53

The challenge is it is very rare and hard for one party to hold the White House three terms... DemocratSinceBirth May 2015 #56

what about when you factor in the other party holding the house and senate? Although Laura PourMeADrink May 2015 #62

I don't know how you factor that in. DemocratSinceBirth May 2015 #64

yes, and she mentioned that the other day ..." I know what the demands Laura PourMeADrink May 2015 #68

But...there's probably less than zero chance HRC won't win our nomination. And Laura PourMeADrink May 2015 #36

For many Bernie folks here, what you just said is offensive. Of course its true, but as you said stevenleser May 2015 #42
