Why Hillary Clinton Cannot Beat Donald Trump
Zero Hedge ^ | 2/26/2016 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 02/26/2016 7:06:25 AM PST by GilGil

This morning, I read a fantastic article by Nathan J. Robinson in Current Affairs titled: Unless the Democrats Run Sanders, a Trump Nomination Means a Trump Presidency. Several months ago, I would have disagreed with this statement, but today I think it’s entirely accurate.

One thing Clinton supporters remain in complete denial about (other than the fact most Americans who don’t identify as Democrats find her to be somewhere in between untrustworthy and criminal), is that a significant number of Sanders supporters will never vote for Hillary. Forget the fact that I know a few personally, I’ve noticed several interviews with voters who proclaim Sanders to be their first choice but Trump their second. Are they just saying this or do they mean it? I think a lot them mean it.

There are many reason. This is one of them.

Nice of them to finally agree with me, since I have said this since July.

I know some Bernie supporters (misguided members of the extended family - college age) & they despise Hillary - will not vote for her under any circumstances. They don’t like Trump’s personality, can’t stand the establishment types (Cruz/Rubio - not outsiders in their opinion), but given a choice of Trump or Hilly, they’re likely to stay home or even vote Trump.

a significant number of Sanders supporters will never vote for Hillary.

And visa versa. The Dumbocrat turn out will be at the lowest number in recent history. Even the dead will stay home. You Betcha.

Trump and Hillary will just stand there and scream “LIAR” at each other, and they’ll both be right. This will be a new low for presidential campaigns.

Sorry but zerohedge is wrong about so many things. Remember they said Romney would beat Obama in 2012.

It’s for the good of the collective. Nothing supersedes. They could even whack Hillaryous and give the emoticons to Bernie.

If it wasn’t for Trump we’d have boy bot Rubio as the nominee and Hitlery would have wiped the floor with him and we’d be looking at another Clinton Holocaust in the White house for 8 years. People who bash Trump should think about that.

I’m not concerned about the Sanders people who won’t vote for Hillary.

I am concerned about the votes that will be cast for Hillary from the usual democrat supporters.

The dead, the illegals, the imaginary people and the real people who vote multiple times will all come out to vote democrat in big numbers.

I do not believe we will ever have anything approaching as honest election again until the democrat party is banned or there are some strict laws put in place to eliminate fraudulent registrations, to require valid voter ID, and to prosecute all voter fraud.

Given what’s at stake and that this may be the last chance ever, the nominee HAS to be the one with the *best* chance of beating Hillary, much less Bernie. That is Trump. We cannot take a chance on a more “principled” conservative such as Cruz. Cruz will have his turn later. It’s all about timing.

Don’t know if you noticed this, but in the Nevada dem primary only 12,000 dems voted. I was shocked. That is like zero turn out. I thought the republican turn out was low, but the dem turn out was anemic. Not much enthusiasm.

“Trump is an attention-craving parasite...”

As opposed to Sanders, who is just a parasite.

Anyone who assures a Republican victory is ignoring the monumental voter fraud and cheating that will occur in November, 2016. Watch for Miami and Cleveland to hold out their vote totals until they know how many votes the Dem candidate needs to take each state. That happened in Nov, 2012.

I am not a Trump supporter... but I think the Donald can beat Hillary. I do worry that Trump has a women issue but Hillary has a women problem because of Bill.
