Well, I know mostly conservative leaning people. But just of women I know, none of them like Hillary, and none of them want to see her become president. Some are embarrassed at Hillary, and the thought that she could be the first woman president.
esp having stayed married to a man who rapes women
Exactly. Clinton is disliked by many, and inspiring to no one.
That doesn’t mean she won’t be President.
No white man is going to be nominated for President by the Democrats, which leaves only Elizabeth Warren. And Warren is far weaker than people think. Her “populism” is really only a negative, as it scares the rich donor side of the Democratic Party; the mass side of the Democratic Party (blacks, hispanics, whites who receive government paychecks or EITC) still doesn’t know or care about her. She will need to draw an inside straight of MASSIVE fundraising and somehow creating a mass base in 2015 to have a shot.
And in the general? Clinton comes in with a huge advantage. Nevada and Colorado are gone for Republicans because of the population shifts in favor of arrivals from the coasts and Hispanics. He or she would need to combine white working class vote plus lower black turnout to win four out of five of Virginia, Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan. The last time that happened was 1988, when Bush senior won all five states.
Thanks. Glad to hear it.
