Correct. Hillary is a bad candidate. This election cycle the Dems have done what the Reps so often do—run the one whose turn it is. The formidable Clinton electoral machine was always an MSM-fueled myth. Bill won a plurality in 1992 because of Perot, and won in 1996 because of the power of incumbency and because the Reps ran Dole, the guy whose turn it was. Hillary is unlikeable. She’ll get a lot of women to vote for her, but she doesn’t excite any of the other demographics the Dems need to win. The young skulls full of mush who are feeling the Bern will not turn out for her. Neither will men. Hillary can’t win without the Rust Belt, where Trump has already shown he has wide appeal.Also, Bernie has made Hillary run very far to the left in the primary. She’s been trying to out-Commie the Commie for months now. She will have a difficult time tacking to the center to get the mushy middle, where all elections are won.

BJ won because GHW ran a campaign that was about as exciting as Jeb's 2016 campaign. Bush didn't even start acting like he was running for reelection until a few weeks before the election.

A newsie asked him in an interview soon after his loss why he didn't mount a more aggressive reelection campaign.

He responded that he thought as the incumbent his reelection was a sure thing, so he didn't want to spend 'presidential' time on the race.
