Hillary... because Trump? [View all]

I'm sorry, but it seems I've heard this just once too many times.

Let's examine, shall we?

1. Which Dem candidate consistently polls better against Trump?

2. Which does better in the types of primaries that more closely resemble voting in the GE?

3. Which has the better positive/negative favorability ratings?

4. Which does better in the states more likely to be won in the GE?

5. Which has no pending investigations, little chance for future ones, or preemptive impeachment threats?

If winning... because Trump... is the objective, then the choice is clear.

So if your goal in life is to defeat Trump, but you're trying to do it by bringing a knife to a gunfight, then get your shit together. I don't care how much you love your knife. It's the wrong tool for the job. Get on board with the right one, or I'm not going to take you seriously.

And sure as hell don't come complaining to me if we lose because of your failure to arm yourself for battle correctly.
