In May of 1988 Gov. Michael Dukakis had a 10-point lead over his Republican rival, the same margin that Hillary Clinton has today.
He lost. And she could, too.
Don't comfort yourself too much by looking at the horse race polls. Those are about Donald Trump's weakness, not Clinton's strength. A fresh Washington Post poll shows that only 37 percent of American voters trust her, and the number is dropping -- even before her well-fed opponents have begun to pound the airwaves with slimy attack ads on her.
And let's face it: It is not beyond the imagination to think that a fresh scandal could emerge. Clinton has long been a warrior for good causes, from child poverty to health care.

Sorry, I do get what you are suggesting, but I find it quite difficult to take you seriously about it. Please disregard, as you have, that I asked you anything at all substantial. I am not likely to gain anything from any response you might make.
LOL. The only "good cause" Hillary Clinton has ever invested in is, Hillary Clinton.
Hillary cannot lose. On the Dem side, there are more Super Delegates available to her than delegates that Bernie can win by votes.
The unique circumstances of this year's primary races on both sides have revealed what few people, even the most informed, have known -- just how badly the primary systems are rigged against non-establishment types.
People have faulted the voters -- wrongly! -- for not being informed about the rules. Why should they be? The rank-and-file voters are busy working, raising children, paying bills, doing their best to just get by; in short, making this country work. Who has time to research the intricacies of each states complicated (and as many now claim, corrupt) primary election rules?
Normally it does not matter. The rank-and-file fall in line with the party elites. This time is different. And we have learned a great deal about the "rules" in each state, and how they are ultimately designed to give the party elites control to override the popular will of the people.
On the Republican side, it is pretty bad. But the Dem side magnitudes worse -- more Super Delegates than delegates winnable by popular vote. That means a *total* lock by the party elites on who will be the nominee. If I were a Dem voter, I would soooooooooooo pissed!
I expect a lot of these rules will be changed now, once they've been revealed. And rightly so!
Let us bury our intramural hatchets and realize his worst nightmares!

You’re talking Hillary Clinton, right? I just want to make sure you’re not referencing a Mark Clinton or something like that.

ronnie raygun’s quote comes directly from the posted article.
Please look again.
Are you quoting from the article?
Thanks for pointing that out. I usually avoid reading anything praising the Clintons or Obama so I would definitely have missed that.
Ha!
My son has a Trump-Sanders 2016 bumper sticker.
I've got the words going through my head, in singsong fashion. Sung it once to Bob when I called into his show years ago.
My whole family loved that and we all can still say it all the way through.
It’s always best to ask questions, before jumping to conclusions. We’ve all “jumped” once or twice and learned that lesson. :-)
I usually do, but sometimes I have my “Jump to Conclusions” mat ready, lol.
I pushed the abuse button about 20 minutes ago but they haven’t removed it yet.
It's like "friendly fire" during a flame war....it happens and then everyone says SORRY, and everything is okay again.
My parents had a summer house in Glen Cove, when I was growing up.
Hillary is a talker not a doer
All eyes on Hillary - Trump has his on her and is fine-tuning his aim each and every day. He has more ammo stored up, to use on her, than most of us gun enthusiasts....
Bingo, we have a winner!
