In reply to the discussion: Hillary or Not Hillary poll [View all]Chan790

To say nothing of those on this side who hate her just as much. She's an incredibly polarizing figure, one that will almost certainly not be able to hold her polling lead for the length of the race.
The mental image of a piñata comes to mind. Everybody's going to take a wack at Hillary for the length of the primaries and the general election; the cumulative damage means her nomination will almost certainly hand the WH to the GOP.
Do America a favor...crush Hillary's Presidential aspirations. Nominate someone that can win.

We're fucked then because my main opposition to her is that she's a dead-lock to lose.

I'd prefer Barbara Boxer, Elizabeth Warren, or Al Franken, but Hillary is good, too.

It's going to be really satisfying to pull the lever for Hillary and to have her win. nt
