Why do people think if Hilary wins the primary election, that it's a guaranteed win for Reps. for president

Answer 1

I don't know, most of them don't make a lot of sense where this is concerned. First they said she had no chance to get the nomination. Now it's become clear she's the front runner and will likely take the nomination, so they have to switch gears. Ignoring the huge support she has that just keeps increasing steadily is their biggest mistake. When I see one of them state that her nomination or her winning the primaries is another step closer to a Republican win I have to wonder if they have a nodding acquaintance with reality. Her chances are growing daily, while the Republicans sink lower and lower over the war and their scandals. It's a knee-jerk response to being unable to face the fact that this country isn't going to elect another Republican fox to guard the henhouse after the experience of the debacle in Iraq. I have a feeling that if Sen. Clinton wins the nomination they all better buy the economy size bottle of aspirin for Election Day.

EDIT: Case in point, "wingshooters" idiotic posting and reposting of that Black Panther story, long ago debunked. See all the thumbs up for a story that not only isn't true but shows the desperation? Truth is relative when it comes to those who hate Sen. Clinton. That says a lot about their desperation where she is concerned.

Answer 2

"Hilary is very polarizing." That's the standard assumption. She'll apeal more strongly to the Democrat's base than to the center, and that might allow a moderate Republican (if the Reps nominate a moderate) to capture the center and win.

I don't think it's a sure thing. Frankly, I think the Democrats could resurect Joseph Stalin and run him against any Rep for the win, the Republicans have lost that much respect because of Iraq, and, now, the Amnesty debacle. It's not that a lot of conservatives would break ranks and vote Dem, it's just that a lot of them are likely to stay home.

Answer 3

Because no one really wants her to win when it comes down to it. I mean, seriously, where does the hype around her start?

Is it her policies?

Her ability to lead a nation in war, into one if need be and out of one?

Is it because of how great a job she's done in NY?

No...unfortunately, I feel it's because she's A) a Clinton and B) a woman. I see nothing wrong with a woman becoming president...it just can't be ANY woman though, you know? Just for the sake of saying that we set this landmark, we're going to put Hillary in? Ridiculous. She's the media darling right now and frankly, it's insulting. People are more interested in the trendy, first-time occassions than they are in seeing to it that the country is run properly.

On top of that, when you do the math, IF she wins the presidency, that means that a member of the Bush or Clinton family will have run the US for over 20 years now...if she wins two terms, we're looking at 3 decades and a psuedo-dynasty. Look at where we're at now, and look at where we were before either one of these families stepped into office.

Furthermore...I personally find nothing appealling about her at all and can't see how anyone can. Her ideas are old-hat...especially her little bits of socialist wisdom. Then, you have a woman who was not only betrayed by her husband, but done so in about the most public and embarrassing way possible...and she's still with him? I wish it would be nice to say, "oh, they've overcome so much" when in reality, it's blatantly obvious that BOTH of them are in it for the political positioning the two of them can gain from the other...plus, TONS of money.

I don't think that enough Dems like her to put her in office. In fact...I think it's a wasted vote in the primaries.

Answer 4

i'm hoping a minimum of a type of two could win! yet, in case your no longer paying close interest Mccain might slide in someplace, I nonetheless see a lot of human beings going for him, and he's for sizable agencies.

Answer 5

It is not a guarantee but it puts the possibility of a Republican winning back into play. This is pretty much what happened in 2004 when Kerry won the nomination. Bush should have been easy to beat but a poor choice was made by the Democrats.

Answer 6

They don't really think that. They just keep saying that in hopes that the registered Democrats will vote for someone else in the primaries.

Answer 7

Because then they would start freaking out that it could be possible and thousands in each town would run to vote her out...
unlike the college hippies that used to hold up signs over the freeway to vote for Kerry...they obviously forgot to put down the sign and vote. With Hillary it is different... people would rather move then have that psycho in office.

Answer 8

Because many of us are Dems and will refuse to vote for Rottenham Clinton. I don't know a single person in my group who would vote for her.

I would rather see Bush get another term and I HATE that mother*ucker

Answer 9

Hillary Is going to be our next President, would you please tell me which one you think will beat her. I can't vitalize any of the Republican ones sticking their hand out to any foreign leaders and introducing themselves as President of The United States of America. That would take the cake. You talking about , Bush being the laughing stock of the other countries, man they'd be in hysterics.. WHEW

Answer 10

I think it's because many Democrats like Obama over Hillary.
