How to Beat Hillary Clinton
Washington Free Beacon ^ | 6 Nov 2015 | Matthew Continetti

Posted on 11/06/2015 5:57:40 AM PST by Rummyfan

One year until Election Day. Where things stand: The Republican race is in turmoil while the Democratic nomination is all but assured. The FBI alone can stop Hillary Clinton from appearing on your ballot next November. But that is unlikely to happen. If only wishing made it so.

She wins the nomination. Then? To hear some tell it, Clinton’s election as president is a safe bet. I won’t lie: I think these commentators make a strong case, but not an entirely convincing one. There are too many factors at work. Inside the Democratic Party, the Clinton Restoration is almost complete. The country at large, however, despite the Democratic advantages of demographics, population distribution, and near cultural hegemony, remains wary. Clinton is a vulnerable nominee. She can be beaten.

How? Let’s stipulate that campaign effects are overstated. The economy and the popularity of the incumbent, in my view, are far more important. But candidates also matter. Whether she is liked or disliked, whether she is trusted or distrusted, whether she is someone with whom voters identify or someone from whom they recoil, whether she spends her days proclaiming her message or in damage control—all of these factors shape voter impressions, voter enthusiasm.

Hillary is a lousy candidate and a worse politician. And as the late William Satire said, she's a "congenital liar,"

All true, and yet at least 47% of the populace will vote for her. She could be found in bed with a live girl and a dead boy and they'd still vote for her. She could kill and eat a baby on the Lincoln Memorial steps on National TV and they'd still vote for her. (BTW I think it's Safire)

Carson is a GOPe plant, he is there only to take away votes from Trump

Didn't Carson announce before Trump?

The nomineee must go after ALL of her issues, one after another. Don’t even let her attempt to answer all of her law breaking, just get it out there and state she is unworthy and unqualified to be president. She is unlikeable and untrustworthy, use EVERY question to address these weaknesses.

Nominate Trump.

He’d beat her with a broomstick.

I don't disagree with that but in the national poll most quoted, Trump is the only potential Repub candidate shown losing to the Hildebeest (43% to 40%).

“Satire = Safire ...dang”

Perhaps the typo was unintentional, but it was still funny.

Freudian slip.

Does it matter when he announced? The fact is the GOPe knew Trump was going to run, he hadn't been quite about it, they didn't figure he would...he did...

So they went to work, Carson stayed quite while they ran every other candidate against Trump and nothing worked, so they started with Carson, rigging his poll numbers, and Carson is blowing it big time...

Hillary knows the only one that can beat her is Trump, the GOPe knows that also...so who are they going to protect= Hillary....

Mentioned elsewhere in this thread - rigged polls, scaled to show a specific outcome.

Carefully worded questions, plus a propensity to collate the information is a specific way, can do wonders in presenting a “consensus” for just about any outcome expected.

There is still some 17% undecided in that quoted poll. And The Donald has a most uncommon following in the greater part of what are generally regarded as “independent” voters who claim no party affiliation.

I’m thinking with a baseball bat. Others may differ.

Right, and a week or two ago, he was leading in that.

Percentages not only too small to be significant with the size of the polls, but also not indicative of how many irregular moderate/independent/Reagan Democrat voters he’d get out to vote for him.

One of my favorites of their tricks is withholding “for later release” the questions that worked up to the sting question.

TAMPERING IWTH EVIDENCE
ROSE LAW FIRM PAPERS IN WHITER HOUSE
MURDERS/SUICIDES
THREATS
COVERUPS

FOREIGN DONATIONS
ILLEGAL EXPENDITURES
BENGHAZI
MURDER OF KHADAFFY
GUN RUNNING AND FUNDING ISIS
MISSING $6 BILLION DOLLARS (OR DID THAT GO TO THE FOUNDATION OR ISIS)???????

THEY BOTH BELONG IN PRISON FOR LIFE

How to defeat Hillary>

Simply stand back. She'll do it to herself. She's already underway in the sense that what has happened so far has deemed her "damaged goods"

Some people will buy damaged goods to save a few bucks.. but most of us want "shiny and new."

A 3 foot long tree limb studded with long nails on the business end would be my first recommendation.

According to the democrats her coronation is inevitable. She is the least qualified, a criminal and worst possible candidate for president. No wait, I guess Omoron Obozo was the worst possible candidate and he got elected. So maybe she will be elected. At least she’s an American.
