Please Help Me, I Don't Understand [View all]

why people blame Hillary Clinton if there is no real primary. What is she suppose to do, give out millions of dollars to possible opponents and urge them to run. And maybe she has such a big lead in the polls because most Americans support her stands on the issues, or don't really care about the issues, or just think she is the most likely Democrat to beat the Republican candidate. This is not her fault and she should not be attacked for it.
