...One of the mysteries of Election 2016 is whether the Democratic nominee can keep the "Obama coalition" of liberals, young adults, and minorities together. After all, its a fact of political life that the Republican nominee will crush the Democrat among white voters.

Or is it?

I imagine that Hillary might not get as high a percentage of blacks as Obama did, nor will she probably have as high a turnout rate among blacks as Obama did, but I imagine that she will still get around 93-94% at a bare minimum.

Among other minorities, she will probably fare as well as Obama did in 2008 and 2012. The question is whether or not she can keep the coalition of young voters and liberals together - those two voting blocks that are still adamant against the banker bailouts, and still largely distrustful about the NSA. Clapper anyone?

Problem is, is that many Republicans are still fuming over the banker bailouts and don't trust the NSA, either. Again, Clapper anyone?.

This is where a conservative-leaning Libertarian might fare well... namely Rand Paul.

She crushes Romney in a head-to-head match-up, and would pull in more white voters than Obama, Kerry and Al Gore did.

"CNN poll: Hillary doing better with white voters than any Democrat since Jimmy Carter"

Would that be among dead white voters?

This is a CNN/ORC poll. Please people, get a grip.

Romney won the white vote 59%-39%. He won every age group and gender. If Hilliary cuts into that number, the GOP is finished. She will win in a landslide. Hillary is more popular among Hispanics than Obama.

Would BO impeachment help or hurt Hillary?

Excuse me, but didn’t Jimmy Carter get his ass kicked, and kicked good, by white voters?

Polls have shown (and still do) that Hispanics hate it when illegal aliens cross the border with impunity - and yet at election time Hispanics still vote overwhelmingly (be it 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012) for Democratic presidential candidates.

Who knows why...

The government run school system continues to pay dividends for DemocRATS.

She’s probably also doing well with the ‘dead-broke’ and commodity futures folks. Kindred spirits (sort of ... in a pretend kind of way).

I gather better does not mean a majority.

When you realize they never win the white vote you understand why they flood the country with illegals.

So do you think that Hot Air (hardly a bastion of liberalism) needs to get a grip?

People please remember that CNN/ORC is totally in the bag for anything Clinton. They will turn the World inside out for the Clinton’s. Any other source at all is more credible than CNN/ORC for polling results.

Hillary is not that popular, if she were she would be President now. She is going to get a challenge from Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren and she still has to explain what she has done for the last 14 years - and she is getting long in the tooth. I’m so GD tired of the surrender monkeys here.

If Hillary pulls the #’s down from Romney’s 59-39% to 54%-44% the GOP is finished.

It would be a drop from a 20% gap to a 10% gap.
