“I don’t know why the GOP is so afraid of her as the Dem nominee.”
Because the low information voters could give a hoot about her record or past. She is a true believing progressive woman and deserves to be at the top of the ticket.
The low information voter only cares about the personal connection, and frankly, she can’t make that connection.
Bill Clinton was an odious human being and a very unpleasant politician, but he was good at the “feel your pain” thing and connected with the low information crowd.
Hillary won’t be able to do that. The only group who will like her a lot, I believe, are older female academics and maybe a few confused Muslims or other non-Hispanic immigrants. I don’t even think she’s likely to get the black vote, which is crucial to the Dems because while it is very small numerically, it exercises a lot of power because of the gerrymandering of districts to accommodate it.
