Hillary doesn't stand a chance of winning the presidency, right?

Question

polls show that over 50 percent of voters would not vote for her under any circumstances...how can she win in a two party race?

Answer 1

Not exactly, dude....

How many "republican" votes would go to her if conservatives decide they don't like their front runner. How many liberals who are behind Obama and others will back her if she gets the Democratic nomination instead.

The possibilities are endless and until we know which candidates from both of the Major parties will win their party nomination it is too early to decide.

Answer 2

It's clear that as the weeks go by she keeps gaining ground, slowly but surely. She is starting to pull the middle to lower class women's vote in large numbers. They are the ones who like her, and don't complain that she didn't leave Bill, or she's too phony. They're tapping into her real desire to see to their complaints. They like her attention to health care and children's issues. The opposite numbers of women who don't care for her much fall mostly into the professional career woman category. Which group gets out the vote more? Those middle to lower class women.

Once she has their support cemented she can turn her attention to the matter of strength in foreign policy and she's got all her ducks in a row where that is concerned. If she gets the nomination, she's going to be much harder to beat than most Republicans think. The bottom line is that most of those Democrats who now claim they won't vote for her will end up doing just that rather than seeing another Republican in the Oval Office after George Bush.

The biggest mistake the Republicans can make is to underestimate her. They underestimated her in New York too, and she was elected by a landslide - both times.

Answer 3

Yeah she does, Mitt Romney doesn't stand a chance, look how popular she has become in a short time. She will bring women out in the droves, and minorities, hispanics, gays, seniors, and college students.. Whoa, Bill will give her that boost, and she always knows exactly what to say.

Answer 4

I doubt it. She has loyalists within the Democratic Party, but those opposed to her are far greater in number. I suspect that there are plenty within the Democratic Party who dislike her also.

I don't understand the cause of "Hillarymania" for those who suffer from it. What has she really done? What does she really stand for? Although I am opposed, I at least know what Ralph Nader stands for. I respect Bernie Sanders for at least having the guts to come right out and say what he is. But what is Hillary?

She is hailed as one of the smartest human beings ever; yet, I have seen no evidence of this. She doesn't even strike me as the smartest of the Democratic field (I would guess Bill Richardson). And she is nowhere in her husband's league.

Answer 5

Which polls say this? Why don't you provide a link to support your argument. THat would help us believe that these polls really exist and that you are not just making it up to discredit a good candidate.
Hillary is doing well in these polls

Answer 6

She will be the next President and will do a good job. Your "50" percent figure is unsupportable.

Answer 7

She could not get her own husband to keep it in his pants, how can she get the support required to effectively govern a country?
