In reply to the discussion: For people calling Hillary a "weak" candidate... [View all]NorthCarolina
(11,197 posts)Hillary has ZERO support outside of the Democratic Party, and IN the party she has only about 50%'ish support. No Independent support, and certainly no chance of disgruntled GOP crossover vote. She is a fatally flawed candidate and will likely lose the election.
It is only the ability of establishment Democrats to control the outcomes by creatively preventing people from casting ballots that are counted.
Bernie has the support of a majority of Independents who are unable to voice their support through most of the primary, and he aslo has the support of a segment of traditionally GOP voters, and roughly 50% of the registered Democrats.
Hillary may be able to keep herself afloat in a largely closed Democratic Party process, but in the General Election she will be decimated unless the powers that be can sufficiently manipulate the vote to her advantage through their myriad of available tricks and sabotage.
That's all without even mentioning the possibility of an FBI indictment and how that would affect the outcome of things.
Hillary will never be 45.
