Poll question: Why Hillary can't win.
For one thing, it is the math. The numbers simply aren't there. For another, it is the infighting and ego wars between a fourseater plane, each with their separate set of controls and steering column. When they fly together, it is a machine. But, we aren't seeing much of that these days. Still another point, Hillary has run a pretty lame campaign. She had all the built in advantages. Name recognition, money, a powerful, respected former president as hubby, money, a dedicated team, money, the aggresive will to win, money, and of course, money.

But her plan sucked. It made assumptions that turned out to be false. Her over-protective senate tenure was marked by leading from the rear, and following the flow, rather than taking tough, even unpopular positions. Her penchant for secrecy has bothered people from the 1990s, and continues to rile, irk, and worry even her closest friends.

But here is the real reason why she won't get it.

The only people in America who love sequels are Hollywood movie producers.
Most remakes, sequels, and endless story follow-ups suck the big one. Only Hollywood and MSM seem to forget that point. The people who gave you Son of the Mask, Speed 2 Cruise control, Blues Brothers 2000 and Basic Instinct II, also gave us Superman 4, Star Wars 1, and other forgettable wastes of celluloid. And the same people seem to be trying to sell Hillary the same way that they sold those POS movies.


Which qualifies as the best/worst sequel ever made?
