Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has badly underperformed in 2016 compared with her first run for president in 2008, a new data analysis done exclusively by Breitbart News shows.
It’s particularly telling that she’s gotten fewer votes in 2016 than she did in 2008, especially because of the fact that the 2008 race was a three-way race for some time between Clinton, now President Barack Obama, and ex-Sen. John Edwards. She was, despite being the frontrunner for some time, the ultimate loser of that race—and she got more votes that year in a much more competitive primary that she ended up losing than she has this year against a devout, proud socialist in Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) 16% of Vermont.
Clinton is widely expected to be the Democratic nominee in 2016, but her poor performance in the primaries—which many believe she should have wrapped up long ago—may drag her down heading into the general election, as even many Democratic voters seem to distrust her. To win in November, Clinton will need a strong showing from the Democrat base. This data seems to suggest that she has significant problems with her own party’s core voters, meaning that if whoever wins the Republican nomination is able to woo these disaffected Democrats into the GOP camp, there could be a blowout in November for the Republican nominee.

ALAMO GIRL.
Not nearly as many people are willing to be identified as Democrats this cycle, having changed, at the minimum, to Independent.
And Independents cannot vote in most closed Democrat primaries.
Of course, the dead always can, but that would end up in the odd position of Democrats working vote fraud against other Democrats.
Exactly right. A traditional conservative candidate stands little chance.
But, they didn't plan on Trump shuffling the electoral map. PA, NJ, NY, and MI will be in play if the election is close overall.
Here you are TheTopRead:
See for instance “Remembering the Dead”.
Maybe Alamo girl has more to add.
There have been several people that have...I really need to see what they have to compare to what I and some others on here have, the more we can get out about her and her Crime family the better...
There are two possibilities here. One is that Hillary! does not have the support of her base, and won’t have it in Nov. The other is that Democrats (except for feel-the-berners) aren’t rushing to the polls, as there is no reason to vote since the fix is already in, but they will come to the polls in Nov. in the usual AnyoneButTheRepublican vote. If I were Trump, I would hope for the former, and make plans to counteract the latter in the fall.
Sorry, forgot to add you as a recipient to my last post.
Hope all is well.

DON’T GET COMPLACENT.
Just because the demonrats don’t vote during their primaries, does not mean that we sit steady and consider it a foregone conclusion of victory.
Hillary is despised on the left as much as on the right. We can win November as long as we maintain enthusiasm and head to the polls. Full stop. Do your civic duty come November.
For some reason the under 30-crowd are absolutely bonkers over Bernie. I think he reminds them of one of their liberal college professors, who doesn't care about them cutting class or coming in late, he'll shrug and give them an A just for showing up most of the time. After class, he'll smoke marijuana with them and get into "intellectual" discussions about how there our entire universe could be inside one atom of some giant being's fingernail.
I think Shrillary will be much easer for Trump to beat. She does NOT remind millennials of a beloved college professor but rather of an overbearing opinionated harpy spinster aunt that they only see on Thanksgiving and weddings.
Just last night ,I heard pollster Ed Goas state exactly that, Trump gets demolished !
The wealth of subject matter for anti Hillary ads is mind boggling. No one else but Trump would even dare go there and I’m sure he’ll take advantage every miserable thing she’s done in her life.

I wish we would catch them at their cheating.
As always, the devil is in the details. And the Trump-promoting Breitbart leaves out quite a few. For example:
“In Rhode Island and Massachusetts, two northeastern states that billionaire Donald Trump has won in the GOP primary, bottomed out their support for Clinton between 2008 and 2016. Back in 2008, 705,185 Massachusetts voters backed Clinton in the Democratic primary. In 2016, nearly 100,00 fewer voted for her—with only 606,822 voting for her, a 13.95 percent decrease.”
Sounds horrible for Hillary, right? Well, you might notice that they didn’t give Trump’s 2016 vote count in either of those states. That’s because Hillary trounced him—by 13,000 votes in Rhode Island (where she finished second to Bernie) and by nearly 300,000 votes in Massachusetts. She also got a lot more votes than Trump in New York and Pennsylvania, two states Breitbart indicates may be trouble for her just because her primary total was lower in 2016 than 2008.
The fact that that she is down by half a million votes in Texas doesn’t mean squat, since she was never going to win that state anyway. As I said on another thread, Ohio is really the only state where the difference in primary voting may show a trend that could hold for the general election that would spell trouble for Hillary.
Chances are many Hillary supporters from 2008 have passed on since then. But, if they were good Democrats, you’d think they would have filed change of address notices with the local election board...
