I honestly think Hillary if is nominated she will lose to Trump.
That’s scary to me.
I simply don’t understand the dogged support of Hillary when another populist candidate that is even more progressive is available and he shows that he mobilizes a significant element of voters that are not going to vote for Hillary.
If Hillary is nominated, I see a close race but one that will mobilize the wacko right element far more than the left. If Hillary hangs on, I suspect the democrats will not gain in the house or senate.
If Bernie is nominated, I suspect they would see much larger gains in the house and senate.
While Hillary is more qualified, if your measure is being versed in the existing sleasy sell out political model and Trump symbolizes vilest parts of capitalism run amok, you don’t claim the moral high ground by supporting a sleaseball over a shitball IMHO.
I agree, in four years we may look back at this as a litmus test, it’ll be a litmus test on who supported the demagogue if he wins, it may also be a litmus test on who dogmatically supported the status quo and refused to see the warts on their candidate too.
A recent poll shows 70% of Hillary supporters say she should continue running even if indicted. AFAICT, that attitude continues to drive people towards Trump.
