Can Hillary Clinton beat Donald Trump?
Al Jazeera ^ | June 9, 2016 | Marwan Bishara, senior political analyst

Posted on 06/12/2016 2:14:59 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Or will this year's presidential elections repeat the 2000 Republican upset?

I rushed to finish Hillary Clinton's book, Hard Choices, this week, expecting her to clinch the Democratic Party nomination for president. She did, but I am evermore ambivalent about her and her chances of winning.

Many factors will prove decisive in the November elections, but Clinton continues to suffer from the same shortcomings that cost her the 2008 Democratic Party primaries.

This is particularly important because in the public mind, the contrast can't be starker between the same packaged Clinton and the unrestrained Republican nominee Donald Trump. She won the Democratic nomination by mastering the rules of the game; he won the Republican nomination by refusing to play by the traditional rules of the game....

Old Al Jazeera should be very concerned about the outcome of this election.

Yeah, it’s funny how all those coin tosses kept coming up ‘heads.’

Even some of her most liberal supporters have to recognize that Hillary will never defend our country against terrorism.

Her freeloading, “Me, Me, Me” voter base claims that they intend to vote for her even if she is convicted of committing felonies that endangered American security and she is serving time in prison. You definitely can’t fix stupid. I guess you could set up an oval office in a rectangular prison cell.

She needs to show how fairness, inclusion and diplomacy trump Trump’s politics of hatred and exclusion


Real neutral reporting, there.

Anything is possible which is why we must be vigilant. If she gets elected, like Obama, these brutal murders will continue on the home front. You or I could be next.

“”She won the Democratic nomination by mastering the rules of the game””

LOL.

Buying up all the Super Delegates before she even started campaigning and she had to stay in the primary until the bitter end because she couldn’t put away a 75 year old communist.

Even if she tried to, it wouldn't matter. Everything she does, she screws up. She is totally lacking in wisdom, judgement, and empathy.

I don’t think this fatso can beat her way out of a paper bag even if Huma were on the other side! A more obnoxious, head bobbing, boring, screeching banshee than this creation you’ll look far to find.

After eight years of a fruitcake, traitorous ass like Barry Soetoro who has literally destroyed this ill-informed nation, how could America survive a Hillary?

NOPE!!! Wasn’t a worry to begin with, but with Orlando, and if they fit the singer’s death the other night, and the guy in California that was just arrested, Trump has the election....why not put him in now...
