(384 posts)supporters. I understand wishing that she wasn't so disliked and I even agree that the mistrust issue has been fed by some very unsavory characters over the years. But choosing the most disliked candidate in the history of our party, especially when we knew about her high unfavorables going in , just guarantees this is going to be harder than it has to be and likly to not end up as well as it could have. Maybe the Reps really are in absolute disarray and any Dem will be able to beat them but it still isnt smart to choose the weakest one ever. You're asking the party to do a whole lot of extra work that it shouldn't have to do and other than simply not having another Rep president I just dont see any potential upside for ordinary people. This a poorly chosen fight that will take away from the really great things that might have been possible with even a marginally bad candidate.
