Unfortunately, as long as there are huge numbers of people who believe that, it’s better to vote for the devil they know, as opposed to any republican, then, it doesn’t matter to them that Hillary is corrupt and part of the 1% and not trustworthy.
Democrats have made sure that their loyal followers will believe that all republicans are inherently evil and greedy and uncaring about the poor and middle-class.
The hurdles are enormous for any republican to overcome, and thus, we easily end up with presidents such as Bill Clinton and Obama and Jimmy Carter and, potentially, Hillary.
I thought of that and you are quite correct. Essentially with the electorate strongly Democratic and numerically greater , belief in a welfare state, a free, unstructured lifestyle, one without limitations and an opposition party, the Republicans, the antithesis of everything they demand, desire, we are doomed.
