How do you think it will play out on the Dem side?
‘How do you think it will play out on the Dem side?’
Short version? Gore rides to the rescue, and gets his ass kicked.
Long version;
Hillary Clinton is facing quite a few political problems. Chief among them is the ‘enough with Clinton’s or Bush’s in the Whitehouse’. But it goes much further than that.
Senators historically have a hard time winning the Whitehouse. Northeast liberalism is decaying as a valid political position - which is why the MSM keeps pretending Clinton is a ‘centrist’ when actually she’s a far leftwing socialist.
Next up, a woman winning a national election cycle. Liberal females are still confused as to why their choice for France’s recent election cycle didn’t receive the majority of female votes. It didn’t surprise me, I know women can actually think for themselves....(chuckle)...I wish more politicians understood that. ‘Gender politics’ is a myth, in short, as each election cycle demonstates. Women make up 51% of the entire population of this country last time I checked, and as we know they are a small minority of elected office holders. They don’t vote based on gender.
Then there is the problem unique to Hillary Clinton. Every time she opens her mouth, her ‘negative numbers’ rise accordingly. Given where she’s at nationally, with around 45% saying they won’t vote for her ‘under any circumstances’ I don’t see how she has a realistic chance of winning, either the primary or a general election cycle. Democrats know this, just as they knew Howard Dean couldn’t win, no matter how loud the ‘internuts’ screeched.
While Democrats are usually wrong on every political issue you might mention, they want to win. They don’t believe she can win a general election cycle. Thats HUGE in this theory of mine, btw.
After this, then consider Clinton’s now renowned ‘political tin ear’. You can ‘scrip it away’ most of the time, but not during debates, as she keeps demonstrating.
When pressured, she SCREECHES. Thats not a smear about gender, its a valid observation over the years. ‘I’m sick and tired!!!!” doesn’t fly with voters when its stated at decibels using known for jackhammers and jet take offs.
Its been my opinion for the past two or three years she won’t even be in the primaries when the time comes, she’ll come up with some weird reason or other to ‘withdraw at this time’.
We’ll see.
Meanwhile, if I’m correct, many have wasted time and effort getting worked up to fight another Clinton Whitehouse....and as such, haven’t spent enough time on whoever the real nominee will be.
