While Hillary Clinton supporters try to hype the unfavorability ratings of her general election opponent, getting ignored in the liberal maelstrom of deceit is the skyrocketing unfavorability rating of their own presumptive nominee.
The more the general public sees of Clinton, the more they despise her. The Huffington Post favorability rating tracker shows this clearly since Clinton emerged fully into the light during early 2013:
At the start of 2013, Clinton's unfavorability rating was in the low 30s. It has since exploded to about 55%, equal to that of Donald Trump. Some recent polls place it at nearly 60%.
The problem for Clinton is her trend relative to Trump in the context of the amount and type of media attention they have each been receiving over the past year.
Since June of 2015, Trump's favorable/unfavorable ratings are unchanged. No previous presidential candidate in the media age has experienced the level of attacks that Trump has already seen. Despite sustained blistering offensives from across the complete political spectrum -- ranging from the Tea Partiers through the libertarians out to the communists -- the entire mainstream plus alternative media scene was unable to make a negative dent no matter what they said.
And then there is Hillary. In spite of being sheltered and coddled from any serious scrutiny, the public's view of her has soured dramatically, and it keeps getting worse. Once the full general election spotlight is on Clinton, if the historical relationship holds, the unfavorable ratings could climb much higher.
Clinton attacks Trump, and his numbers don't move. Trump doesn't say anything, and Clinton's numbers drop on their own. Trump attacks Clinton, and her numbers drop further. Even some Clinton supporters are surely starting to realize the Democrats backed the wrong candidate for electability in 2016.

I just hope Bernie isn’t on the ticket.
People are not excited about buying a used car, with high mileage and driving it for 4 long years.
I am sure that Clinton’s favorability and electability ratings will sour to astronomic heights ones we get the conventions past and the DNC, the Media and the RNC get behind her.
Trump is going to wear her out. She can’t possibly keep up with Trump’s pace. Also, what a shrill harpy she is. The more tired she gets, the more grating.
She’s going to be crushed.
Let’s hope the dems stay in denial and don’t nominate Bernie.
PJ O’Rourke will be devastated.
Maybe we should vote for Hillary in the remaining primaries just to make sure she wins the nomination.
Wasn’t this the website that was saying Trump can’t win about a month ago?
He is in a parliament of vowels.
She didn't allow her remarks to be heard---there's just a smiling, effervescent Hillary at the podium.
No doubt, she encouraged the airing of those videos b/c she figured being a popular speaker would help her candidacy.
Americans later found out the smiling Hillary was getting huge amounts of money for one speech.
Trump will indeed wear her down. Hillary is up against a guy whose ambition has been tested in the meritocracy.Add in the Trump ego and will to succeed and...Hillary will think she fell head first into a wood chipper. TRUELY she has never been vetted and I doubt she even knows it.
Don't worry. Julian CASTRO will probably be the nominee. He's like Dan Quayle, except without VP Quayle's legislative accomplishments. 
It's the obvious move. I wonder where all the NeverTrump pundits supporting or enabling her will go when she does it.
That ploy was discussed at length yesterday to keep Trump numbers down. Not smart to do that.
They’ll probably still vote for Hillary. They’re mainly Israel Firsters.
A person that places the ambitions,policies and well-being of the right-wing Israeli government over that of their country of residence, usually America. Israel is the primary concern and will always be considered before anything else. If a policy is good for Israel and bad for America it will receive unconditional support without concern for America,despite America being the country of residence *hence Israel FIRST.
A person who’s loyalty and support are for Israel before or OVER America.
1. “Jimmy is a democrat and former Obama supporter, he believes Romney’s policies would bankrupt America and destroy the middle-class. Jimmy has decided to vote for Romney because Netanyahu endorsed him and he believes Romney will be more supportive of Israel in every way over Obama, Jimmy still believes Obama’s policies will do more to help the American economy and the average American” Jimmy is an Israel-firster
As will Amanda Carpenter and A Cupp and all of the other Principled Conservatives.
Pray America wakes
Theirs or ours?
Having Bernie on the ticket compromises his message and moves her more to the left.
I said as much to my friends on Farcebook yesterday when the latest polls came out. She won’t get any higher than she is already. Favorability ratings are largely meaningless but it does indicate a trend.
