Poll question: Will the fact that George HW Bush and Reagan are Hillarys favorite presidents help her in red states
Many of us have been concerned that Hillary would have trouble in red states. I think this new revelation that Reagan and George HW Bush could help Hillary court republicans.

17. I was done in SC a few months ago and got one at a convience store - but those things
have a 20 year shelf life so it may be old stock! :-)

6. Bush 41 is popular somewhere? I thought he was regarded
as kind of an effete, preppy wimp that they HAD to vote for 'cause Reagan wanted them too.

8. I was trying to make an impossible incantation
I was pretty sure that Bush and Reagan despised each other so grouping them so closely was unlikely at best

5. No, their hatred of Hillary cant be swayed
For that reason alone we need to rethink whether we want to nominate her, because no matter how much we hate the Republicans they influence a large part of the independants in the GE and we need some of their moderates to vote for our candidate.

(Unless you want to see another 50.1% to 49% election.)

9. Even if they didn't believe the absolute LIE that Hillary is a "librul" from hate radio asshats
Southern Baptists aren't going to vote for a woman to be President. They believe that a woman must submit to male authority, and that doesn't mix well with being the so called "leader of the free world".

10. No,
But it does make it even harder for some of us to vote for her if she is the nominee.

11. I don't think any of our potential candidates
are going to do substantially better than our previous nominees in the red states.

12. Your premise is false, you are lying. Clinton never said these are favorites. Shame on you.
