In the Iowa Democratic primary, Hillary only received 30% of the vote, so this means that the remaining 70% of Iowa Dimms did not vote for her.

None of the candidates running in either party are getting even 40%, so by your rationale none of them would ever win and 60+% of the voters don't like any of them.

Sorry, but that isn't way presidential campaigns usually go. The primaries are to whittle down the field of contenders. Recall that just a few weeks ago, both parties has nearly a dozen contenders each.

If 30% of the Iowa Democrats voted for Hillary in the Iowa Democratic primary, 70% did not. This DOES NOT mean that only 30% of Iowa Democrats would vote for her in IF she is on the Democratic ticket for President - I think we all realize this.

My point is she dropped like a stone in Iowa (from solid front-runner to 3rd place) as voters discovered more about her and she will very likely continue to drop natiowide (as per today’s Rasmussen polls) as Americans learn more about her.
