Hillary Clinton is often at the center of controversy. But it would be a mistake to think this has undermined her candidacy, at least based on polling so far. As a political figure, she has a strong foundation.

Here are five charts, showing why she remains formidable

She will have one advantage and that is the number of women who will vote for her because she is a woman

I have run into some of these already

If the dems have her, then we NEED TO HAVE PALIN

Palin/Cruz would be awesome for 16 years of conservative bliss

She has been pre-selected by the globalist enemies of America.

The way it has been explained to me is that, to win, the GOP has to flip Florida, North Carolina, Ohio and ONE MORE STATE from the 2012 election.

That looks like a heck of a fight to me. It might be the Democrats’ to lose. They could run a sock puppet and have a good chance of winning.

Sad but friggin’ absurdlyt true. Fact is stranger than fiction. If anybody could match the lyin’ king for being a total snoozer (besides john f’n kohn-heinz-kerry) it’s gotta be the hildebeast. Friggin’ booooooooooring. Unless she tosses in some of her spot on foreign accents.

Hillary will be hard to beat because it seems like these “RINOS” and their advisors are the ones that help to elect such a democrat as president when they have more fight in them against so called “conservatives” in the primaries than the actual democrat in the race where they go limp. Romney McCain and Dole are prime examples and God help us, Jeb will do the same and go limp against Hillary, his friend

Debates, that’s where the action is. Most every Democrat contender can and will shred her in a debate. Where the rubber meets the road

The GOP has lost Ohio, VA, Nevada, Florida & NH in the past several elections....game just about over on a national level.

That Hillary could be leading on economic issues in the polls has me SMH and wondering if I should laugh or cry. Other than investing in cattle futures, she knows diddly squat about economic issues.

That said, I do agree that she’ll be very formidable in a general campaign. Not so much for the reasons listed, but for the harsh realities of California and some other very big, very blue states. You could run a bucket of chaw spit on the Democratic ticket and still rest easy knowing California, NY state, and most of the northeastern U.S. will be safely in your corner come election day. The path to 270 for a Democratic candidate is a lot more open than it is for a Republican one, sadly.

She will NOT e elected because she has one huge failing.

No one likes her.

Right now, they are enamored with her image. but 16 months from now, that will all be gone.

Some may love her.... now... but who really likes her?

I don’t know who explained that to you.

Romney won North Carolina in 2012. So it doesn’t need to flip.

It takes 270 electoral votes to win the executive branch.

Valerie’s man child seized 332 electoral votes.

Romney won only 206.

If Romney had won Florida and Ohio, the results would’ve been:

Man-child: 285
Romney: 253

So we have to look at other places, too.

Virginia, perhaps?

Now you have:

Man-child: 273
Romney: 266

Still, Valerie’s charge is gets the election.

Where else do we go?

Well, Iowa or Wisconsin (Romney should’ve won Wisconsin, given his running mate) or Colorado or New Mexico or Nevada would’ve put him over the top....

The real problem is there are sooo many really, really, really “never gonna die” Demon Rat voters in New York, California, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Michigan that Hitlery starts out with a solid 140 electoral votes—more than half of what she needs.

And when you add in the little New England states—small but with a collective total of 51 votes, she is sitting with 191 and hasn’t had to spend a single penny campaigning.

Disgusting, ain’t it?

Why Hillary will be hard to beat: Because conservatives love eating their own.

If she is so invincible and beloved, why is she hiding?

Why did only 5,000 come out to see her in NYC?

That’s just it. The next election is going to be a complete sham.
