(40,656 posts)coattails. He has them. The GOP is ripe to be put down for good. Given that he beats the GOP candidate no matter who it is from 5-19 points, he will bring in dems all over the place because people voting for him will give him allies which he asks for every time he speaks. You have to come with me on this journey, he says, or it won't work. The enthusiasm and support on this forum is just a microcosm of what is out there in the world. I don't know ANYONE who wants HRC and I am talking rabid clintonites from the past. No young person I know is for her. THey want Bernie because he isn't running a NO YOU CAN'T, I DON'T HAVE A DREAM campain.
Secondly, HRC is the most damaged candidate I have seen in a lifetime. She is accused by the pugs of MURDER. It doesn't matter that they're full of shit and whatever. IT IS THE STORY ON HER IN THE BIG WORLD. She hasn't figured out how to change it and she never will. She is accused of MURDERING her own friends. She is considered a crook, a liar, a fraud, a person who BENGHAZI! BENGHAZI! BENGHAZI! and a thief with White Water. She is HATED so much by them that some of the pugs are talking impeachment already.
HOW THE HELL does that person work with them? How the hell does she pass anything whatsoever? She is loathed with the fire of a thousand suns by the GOP. NO one will work with her. How is she better?
Bernie will have momentum from the people. HRC has money from the oligarchs and the mob waiting for her. They think she MURDERED her best friend. And that doesn't count Bill and his antics past and present as well as her emails and the FBI breathing down her neck and Bill's over their foundation. Her negatives are monstrous for a reason. No one with her negatives has ever been elected in the GE. Seriously, don't snow us. We were here all along too and watched the same movie. Some of us are ready to change the channel.
