Salon: "Hillary Not Electable in General Campaign"

http://www.salon.com/2015/11/10/im_a_bernie_sanders_voter_who_will_not_support_hillary_clinton_here_are_10_reasons_why/

According to CBS News, an alarming percentage of Democrats either won’t vote for Hillary Clinton or would only support her nomination to prevent a Republican from winning:

Just under half of Democratic primary voters nationwide say they would enthusiastically support Clinton if she became the party’s nominee. Twenty-seven percent would support her with some reservations and another 11 percent would only back her because she is the nominee. Fourteen percent would not support her in a general election.


When under half of Democrats would “enthusiastically support” Clinton and 27% would only do so “because she is the nominee,” even Democrats planning to vote for the former Secretary of State hold reservations.

Then, there are 14% who will not support her in a general election; this figure could easily increase. Also, not only will a sizable percentage of Democrats refuse to vote for Clinton, but 57% of Americans find Clinton “not honest and trustworthy.”

In addition, Clinton’s negative favorability ratings in 9 out of 10 national polls make her unelectable as a candidate in a general election. If you can name a presidential candidate in American history who voters both didn’t trust and didn’t like, I’d love to hear the name.

The truth is that Sanders defeats Trump by a wider margin than Clinton in a general election. As for Iowa and New Hampshire, according to an October 5, 2015 NBC News article titled Sanders Outperforms Clinton in General Election Matchups in IA, NH, recent polls show Bernie Sanders more than capable of winning a general election:


I can't wait for the DU Purge, its going to be epic.

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.

Those would also vote for Hitler if he had a D behind his name.
