Roughly 45% of the voters in America will vote for whomever the Democrats appoint. Who that is makes no difference. They are the government workers (an amazingly large group), "disadvantaged or persecuted minorities," union people, people living on the dole (except SS), sexual disfunctionals, academe, the arts & entertainment folks, gender-feminists, Greenies, and other socialist and communist fringe elements. 45%.
People who work for a living and who actually think about who they want to be president will vote strongly Republican, as they always do.
Among women, the Democrat always wins. Among men, the Republican always wins. People who pay no FIT overwhelming vote Democrat; people who pay lots of FIT overwhelming vote Republican. Some things never change.
The election will turn on whether the Democrats can nominate a candidate who can bring in voters who are outside that core 45%. Barry has been able to win twice based on "white guilt" and salesmanship. Clinton had a knack for saying the right things, even though they were bald-faced lies ("I'm going to end welfare as we know it"). That's how they captured votes outside the core, and how they became President.
Here is the problem for Democrats now: None of the three people being mentioned today can bring in a single vote outside the core 45%. HRC brings the female vote, but the Democrats already have the female vote sewed up. The relatively few Republican women find her nauseating, so they are not going to be converted. Biden? Nada. He is a buffoon who is only attractive to the Democrat core. Sanders? Nothing and no one. They have a real problem on their hands.
Compare Al Gore. He almost pulled it off because he was arguably quite qualified, and could bring in some Southerners who would otherwise vote Republican. And Al Gore was a ROCK STAR compared to these three clowns. Think about it; it's true.
No, the Democrats are quite smug now with their harridan elderly heir-apparent, because in theoretical one-on-one polling right now she looks pretty formidable. But the public does not know any of the (real) Republican candidates yet, and when they get to know the one who comes out of this primary battle successfully, no matter who it is, that person will make HRC look like schidt - because in all candor, she is a crappy, unaccomplished, boring, un-inspiring human being, whose only claim to the White House is that she really, really, really, really wants to be President. And that is no reason to vote for someone.
