1. The Democratic base is only slightly more thrilled with her then ours is, and they are more likely to sit home then ours is as well.

2. She is barely over 50% in likability and in people who MAY consider voting for her and the campaign ain't even started it yet.

3.With the DEM's in control, anything bad that happens tarnishes them now and not just us.

As long as we put up a leader and don't pussyfoot when it comes to campaigning, not only can we beat her, we could beat her with a wide margin.

One nice thing about Hillary! for PRESIDENT!!! is that she will convince a lot of people to split their ticket, and elect Republicans to Congress. Nothing demostrates the virtue of divided government as well as a megalomaniac like Hillary! for PRESIDENT!!!

They may be, but Democrats have been out of the White House for 8 years and in the end their base is not going to risk 4-8 more because she isn't their dream candidate.

2. She is barely over 50% in likability and in people who MAY consider voting for her and the campaign ain't even started it yet.

I agree- I think the base will fall into line, but independent voters? Many are turned off by her and I don't think she can win over the number she would need to in order to win the election. A lot of this factor will ride on the campaign itself, as well as who we nominate.

3.With the DEM's in control, anything bad that happens tarnishes them now and not just us.

Yes, but probably not equally given 1) the media and 2) the fact that most casual voters find it easier to identify the government with the president rather than Congress

I don't think that Clinton is "unbeatable", but I would say that Republicans have a tough battle to keep the White House, given the lackluster choices and voter fatigue. Voters tend to fickle and have short memories.
