No, I really disagree. She pretty much starts with about 170 electoral votes. She’s popular with her constituency, and most of those are pleased with many of the liberal victories on Obama’s watch. She has the media shill advantage. She’s been good at all the debates. She routinely out polls Republicans in general election match ups.
You don’t have to sell me on her defects, but to believe she is easy to beat is not wise.
Good post yours. At this point in time, I'd bet a good chunk of money that Trump will be the GOP nominee. But Trump vs. Hillary or Cruz vs. Hillary...I'd pass on either bet. A bit too close to call, for the reasons you mentioned.
As a side note, a Trump vs. Hillary match-up should result in a Trump landslide, much like a Reagan landslide. Trump will attract the blue-collar types, etc. But in Reagan's day the media was at least somewhat fair. Times have changed.
“She pretty much starts with about 170 electoral votes.”
Well, Mitt Romney won 206 electoral votes and I don’t think any republican can do worse.
I think you are overestimating her popularity.
