Remember, Republicans thought Obama would be crushed by Mitt Romney. But it was Romney who lost big.
Not only does Hillary have a great record, but after 30 years of smears by the GOP, she is still standing. No wonder people don't trust her. 30 years of smoke and no fire does that. All the so called "scandals" aren't scandals, they are conspiracies.
Look at the latest one. Look at the big picture. 111 emails the GOP FBI Director said were classified. Only they weren't marked classified. 111 emails through 51 chains that hundreds of people saw. People with decades of experience in the State Department and not a single email flagged by any of those more experienced. And Hillary was SOS for only a measly four years. And the media, just like the good dogs they are, go right along with the GOP.
Hillary's convention was nearly flawless. She has great ideas. She tears Trump apart daily. She stays on message. Every day she gets negative press and still rises above it.
rdean,
It all depends on the alternatives....
I think Ted Cruz would have been just not likeable enough to beat Clinton... He had some extreme views and showed that he was unwilling to compromise and actually deal to make the country better...
Carson : Get serious, He makes Trump look good.
Rubio: Young, possible threat but quite lightweight as shown in the GOP Debates..
Christie: Sorry but while having some good qualities, he had a bad closet... He would have had to go dark and negative to win possibly... Possible threat but just lacked something...
Jeb Bush: While on policy it would be a fair match... Their would be none of the shenanigans like Trump, I would expect a disciplined message where he would point to his record as Governor of Florida... But he would have an achilles kneel, a straight comparison between a Clinton and a Bush Presidency... Which was better... Clinton Winner...
John Kasich: This was by far the largest threat... Good track record, disciplined and policy driven... He doesn't hold many extreme views... His main skeleton in the closet was the Lemans Brothers... Interesting, would had definite appeal to the middle ground... But remember Kasich and Clinton fight would not be dirty, it would be policy driven rather than focusing on personal histories... America would get a clear choice of a moderate Right versus a moderate Left... Interesting fight...
Now I know the nutbag Right here are going to have kittens but this would have been the choice and I think Clinton would have won it by a squeak but very tight..
What a sad day when keeping your word to uphold the constitution is an extreme position
