Before you discount a coming campaign, had you not better consider the past performance of a candidate? What do we know about Donald Trump's ability to deal with a seemingly unstoppable candidate--not damaged goods like Hillary Clinton--but a President's brother, with overwhelming support among a political establishment, and a sympathetic media--say a Jeb Bush?
Once Donald Trump started targeting Jeb Bush--literally, almost within a few days--the odds on favorite for the Republican nomination was in a tail spin. Is there any reason at all to believe that a candidate as damaged as Hillary Clinton--under felony investigation--will prove more durable?
Perhaps, conveniently, people have forgotten how Jeb Bush stood in the polls, last year, before the active interaction between the Republican candidates began. Some of us still remember!
Yup.
The demographics in this country favor the Democrat in a presidential election.
Hillary has a solid blue firewall in states like CA, IL, NY, PA.
And from there all she has to do is pick up swing states like OH and FL to get 270.
That’s the only math that will really matter in November.
