#1 Don't you believe it, B.

If there is any truth to it at all - and I doubt there is much - it's because some people are going to O'Malley, Warren, and Sanders. None of those candidates will get enough primary votes to defeat her. And nobody who voted for Obama in 2012 will vote for a conservative or even a Republican, ever, for any reason.

I've said it here before, you cannot scandal Hillary into losing. The Repubs must counter her and Dem machine politics with a platform which appeals to the people who sat out Romney and McCain, and an individual who can get them to vote in sufficient numbers to overwhelm the people on welfare and in public employment who would swim a lake of molten lava to vote for a Dem who will preserve their magic paychecks.

#2 I was reading a little obscure northwest Ohio online newspaper yesterday. I was reading the comments regarding Hillary and virtually all of the 15-20 comments slammed her. The polls and peoples comments don't jibe. I've been seeing that in other online publications also. Those who support her are basically "one issue" voters; that is they want the 1st woman POTUS. Most of them can't point to any of her accomplishments except that she hung in there with Slick while he was philandering.

#3 In the general election she will have a lot more support for a lot more reasons, JohnQC. Primarily in the role of "most likely to defend government paychecks".

#4 Yes, offer America again another I'm-just-like-them Beltway Party RINO and she'll win. That's what was offered up in the last two votings and see what it got.

#5 no mo uro has it pegged - the most the Republicans can hope for is reduced Dem turnout, which won't help them if Rep turnout is low because of an 'unacceptable' nominee.

#6 I too, fear nmu may be right. With a few brave exceptions, the Beest has quite a following among upright primates who converse with snakes.

Those who accept the 'free stuff' [Mitt's 49%] have an entirely different view of wrong doing and criminality. Therein lies at least one of the challenges.

#7 They will vote for any Democrat even if said Democrat set fire to bus loads of schoolchildren, as long as the Democrat promises to keep the checks coming.

There is no crime, no moral outrage, no amount of evil that a Democrat could do that would get a publicly funded person to vote for a conservative or a Republican. They vote for a living and would allow the government to incarcerate and kill to keep the gravy train going. The same people who would weaponize federal agencies and tax apparatus to stifle opposition would kill to do so also.

Sadly, I fear we are facing our Weimar moment as a nation. Buy survival food and load ammo.

#8 I agree with no mo uro. A lot of the Democrats I know will go to the polls and vote for Hillary even though they can't stand her. The Reason? "I'm a Democrat and I HAVE to vote Democrat".

You'd think at some point the Trunks would get wise but the money is against it.

#10 Just like Obama, the press will carry her across the line, no matter how low they have to sink, how many omissions they need, and how many lies they spread.

#11 they will be barely employed given news revenue. Expect a push for a BBC-like tax
