How Hillary Loses

Donald Trump can actually win if Clinton makes these four mistakes. Spoiler alert: She’s already making all of them. (Full Title)

It’s a terrifying moment for Democrats: Hillary Clinton’s double-digit lead in national polls has evaporated and panic is beginning to set in. Polls now show Donald Trump ahead of Clinton, or at worst only a few points behind. During the insanity of the Republican primary, it was easy for them to believe that Trump could never be president—that in a general election, mainstream voters would regard him as an absurdity. But Clinton remains a shaky candidate with historically high negatives, an email scandal that keeps getting worse and a stubborn primary opponent whose supporters may yet become a midsummer nightmare in Philadelphia. Meanwhile, the Republicans, seemingly in all-out civil war just weeks ago, have quickly fallen in line. Democrats are resigning themselves to a tough, ugly, painful and expensive street fight.

The numbers offer some reassurance for Democrats—but also some bad news.

The reassurance is that the recent polls probably don’t mean much. Trump’s current surge is likely driven by Republican voters coalescing around their nominee, and Clinton will almost certainly get a similar bump when Bernie Sanders lets go and Democratic voters return to the fold. Most pundits believe 2016 is still Clinton’s race to lose.

Here’s the bad news: There is now a clear path for her to lose it.

If you drill down enough, it’s clear there are at least four paths to a loss, and any one of them poses a real risk for a candidate likely to follow her usual careful, calculating playbook.

The explosive cackle Hillary repeatedly uses as a time-buying device to vomit up yet another lie is her most irritating behavioral tic.

She will lose because she is a cold, unlikable, corrupt, ugly, mean-spirited crooked b*tch, and everyone knows it.

Shouldn't there be some kind of punctuation in this steaming pile?

I’m not sure Hillary has to do *anything* wrong. This election is quickly becoming a referendum on whether you want to take a chance on an unknown that wants to shake up the status quo or a person who personifies out-of-touch overbloated Washington.

You’re getting the “cut and paste’ version from the poster. You’ll need to go to the site to get punctuation.

One thing I don’t understand is this....I have heard numerous times that America is a centre-right, or right of centre country. How does someone like Obama or Clinton win an election in a centre-right country? I figure it must be fraud.

It’s a center-right country with a socialist media that too many still think are objective newspeople.

I figure it’s more like inculcated NewSpeak. Not that there’s much difference.

And unfortunately for her, political momentum works both ways. The more she loses the more likely she will lose more.

“vacated by a black family.”

Can you imagine the utter vandalism of the white house that is about to be committed by barky’s pals as they move out of the white hut? It will make the destruction wrought by the Clintons look like it was done by toddlers.

“Most pundits believe 2016 is still Clinton’s race to lose.”

So, are these the same pundits that were wrong 25 gazillion times about Trump throughout his campaign, or is this a new, wiser and smarter batch of pundits?

Her main mistake was not planning for the guy who will not back down or be cowed by those who have protected her

The deal she worked out with the GOP was for her to run against someone easy to beat, like Jeb. Trump screwed things up by not being a team player... and it doesn't look like he's going to allow her to take her rightful place as president. What a shame.

I do think that's mostly correct. If she is down in the polls by 8% or more before the convention (which is likely), she will probably be told to withdraw from the race or face indictment. If she withdraws under those circumstances she will be given an unconditional pardon. Both she and the DNCe are caught between a rock and a hard place.

Any way you cut it, the dems have huge problems with her, and have no seriously good candidate to take her place.

Best. Election. Ever.

"Demographics are not destiny"

Wow, when was the last time you heard that from a Democrat?

And to top it off, they're still betting on a Trump implosion to deny him the big prize...

How Hillary Loses Donald Trump can actually win if Clinton makes these four mistakes.

1. Hillary gets out of bed in the morning.
2. Hillary leaves her house.
3. Hillary goes out in public.
4. Hillary opens her mouth.

Hillary only has to make some speeches (screeches) on National TV and it will all be over. This is why she doesn't want her Wall Street ones out.

She's a 'stiff as a board liberal' as they come. I doubt she will be able to pivot to the middle as her husband and Jimmy Carter did. She is certainly not charismatic like Obama is supposed to be. She needs all the help she can get from her sycophantic cronies in the media.
