2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: The delusion that Hillary Clinton is unpopular and unelectable. [View all]StayFrosty
(237 posts)7. Another note
Some people are saying that Hillary can't finish off Bernie.
Hillary finished off Bernie on Super Tuesday, when she cleared the table on him.
Ted Cruz had enough dignity to accept reality and end his campaign after it was clear that he couldn't clinch the nomination.
Bernie and his supporters have been at war with reality ever since. It's sad because we need to be unified instead of fighting over petty issues.

She is unpopular but certainly "electable" when facing an opponent even more unpopular.

Winning (often close) races in which a minority of voters can vote doesn't prove GE electability.
