“If either Sanders or Hildabeast are the candidate, the whole thing turns against the dems everywhere. They are horrible candidates on the level of Jeb”
Unless she is indicted before the general election, Hillary starts with 42-45% of the popular vote and at least 2/3 of the electoral votes that Obama won. I fear that Cruz will scare off enough moderates/independents to tilt the balance towards Hillary. After 2008 and 2012, I won’t underestimate the strength of identity politics among swing/undecided voters.
I agree, 40+ per cent of America is stupid enough to vote for either of them, but that would mean they would lose in at least 49 states.
They're both bad candidates. Really bad. Jeb bad (and yes, he would get 40+ per cent if he were the nominee). If they had a candidate with a pulse, it wouldn't be either of them.
