Such as a mainstream GOP candidate is highly unlikely to clear the built in demographic hurdles that the GOP faces and that it takes "outside the norm" candidate and/or circumstance to have a path? Except you would be clearer using fewer words.
This. I'm not saying Hillary would have been a lock against any mainstream GOP candidate, but I think state demographics would have made her the favorite. I strongly disagree with Slapdash about this.
I don't think this is a statistic that matters in this case. There are regional connections between bordering states, but there shouldn't be one between these two.
When you are born and raised in Ohio, you root for the Buckeyes, and retire in Florida.
IMO, about 95% of this post is nonsense which I see no point in bothering to refute (I doubt it would do any good.) But there is a small kernel of truth here: I believe that in terms of the Presidency, the Democrats are going to be very dominant- not because of illegals, but because of the growing legal Latino population in the southwest. Republicans however will continue to dominate state governments and the House of Representatives.
But that's from May, when half of them had a more progressive alternative in Bernie. In a binary contest against an establishment Republican, the calculation completely changes.
I think you're missing the point here. She's the Democrat. Suburban white women are voting for the Democrat. They're not going to vote for a Republican just because they don't like Hillary as much as they like other Democrats. When it comes to issues (pro-choice, gun control, health care, jobs) they prefer the Democrat.
I think you're missing the point here. She's Hillary. She's a lot worse than you are willing to admit.
Thank you.
The Progressives may get the popular vote and be loved by the people, but by the time Clinton leaves office I would expect the Super Delegates will count for at least 25% of the Primary votes. This Cabal isn't handing over the ship anytime soon.
Even if you're right, that doesn't change the demographics. They are what we thought they were.
Read the Reddit thread so you can have your eyes open. They also break a lot of laws in these hardball tactics you describe. It's OK. These tactics have hardened the hacker community to fight even harder. You can't suppress the truth forever. Drip, drip, drip...
I'm not going to use your language. But you're right, Hillary should win the nomination and the Presidency in 2020. However, I think the next President following her is going to be from the more progressive wing of the party.
There you go again, assuming you know exactly how people you've categorized think.
You know what I think of Reddit.
I'm just looking at polling. I've given you my reasons for thinking as I do. I don't find your argument against me to be compelling.
I never post trying to convince you of anything. I realized you're not open minded a long time ago. I respond to your posts to provide balance in this forum given how ridiculously lopsided your worship of Hillary is. If I didn't, one day we'd have to read this forum sideways.
Even if Hillary has done nothing to earn a more favorable opinion from women on her own last night's "nasty woman" alone would almost have to make this statement laughable to anyone giving it a second of thought. It might be a fleeting, trivial bump that has no bearing on the election, but the evidence is pretty strong that this statement as well as how aggressive that Trump was with interrupting Hillary and other actions have created at least a bit of sympathy for Hillary.

- Hillary.

Doubtful. The Podesta / Begala emails were pissed that Obama was able to win this from her in 2008. This is never going to happen again. Or if a Progressive wins, it will all be lip service. There is no money in giving away free college. You need the banks to be in crisis, a world close to war everywhere, and lots of arms to sell to make sure you get your kickbacks everywhere to stay in charge.
It's actually the abortion and definitely the gay rights stuff the republicans can't let go of.
tim's far more open minded than most on this forum. His views have evolved over the years. Have yours?
A lot of old people have to probably die off before they can kick such losing positions to the curb I guess. Those two positions have done wonders to push young people away from the GOP for sure.
Trade is the key issue here. The progressive candidate in 2024 will come out against trade deals, and populism will easily defeat all of the forces you're talking about (as they did in the GOP this time around.)
Maybe if you understood words such "allege" and "appears" you would stop promoting speculation to the status of fact. Probably not!
