59. She won't win the general election with her "existing support levels"

Fri Jan 8, 2016, 08:16 AM

Jan 2016

Right now she barely edges out Trump in polls. Trump! That's pathetic.

And after months of negative ads dragging up Clinton slime and scandals, she's toast. The lesser of two evils won't cut it anymore, especially when it isn't really that much lesser.

So yeah, if her goal is to win the nomination, she has a pretty good shot at that. But that's as far as she's going to get.
