Precisely.
She is the clear favourite to be the next president of the United States.
Having said that, I think she has exhibited terrible judgement on the most important foreign policy issues of our time, an area where the president has a lot of control, and an area which will be increasingly important for the next president. This is where leadership and strength are critical. Cojones. This is where I favour Trump because the US will be tested by rogue states (and Russia) throughout the next 4 yrs and they are less likely to mess around with a nuclear powered nation with a leader who projects unpredictability. It's a built in deterrent imho.
The economic agenda and the domestic agenda have already been defined by the primaries, and it is not the Ted Cruz/Jeb Bush/Mitt Romney/Bill Crystol breadcrumb 'trickle down' agenda. It is the Bernie Sanders/Donald Trump (and yes, they are similar on this one front) agenda, which is 'America First' and 'workers first'. Trump has a better shot of getting something done about that in my view, because he will come at it from a business growth and jobs perspective, rather than a handout perspective, which will not pass muster in Congress. You cannot just raise the minimum wage without increasing the # of jobs too. Doing the former alone will result in sackings and hiring of more illegals in many industries.
Despite all the advantages Hills has above, it will be a very close election and will come down to a few swing states as always. The rest is a sideshow. Despite all her advantages, it is Trump's election to lose in my view because she is a piss poor candidate.
How is trump actually even in the running when he alienates most of the female vote and just about all of the non-white electorate..??
Something George Bush Sr. dismissively called 'The Vision Thing', when explaining why he couldn't articulate one.
This looks to be a 'big picture' election, on account of resentments having pent up over time. 2008 was the same. In such instances, it's not so much about experience or what the vision is, but rather just about throwing the bums out.
I agree. This election might in fact be decided by the pick of the VP of each candidate.
If Trump gets Palin, Clinton can win it in her sleep.
But I think Trump might surprise us all there.
When are you allowed to vote? In Switzerland it's 18.
2. The "Berners" are the ones who could actually put Trump in the White House. Their childish "Anyone but Hillary" temper tantrum is deflating the party much in the way that Reagan's supporters killed Ford's chances in 1976. Their refusal to get behind Clinton and support the liberal cause (because they erroneously see her as less of a liberal) is creating some chaos and holding back her momentum.
3. Trump and Clinton are NOT the same person. Not close. Even if you believe that Clinton is a "slave" to Wall Street, which I don't believe she is, her record on civil rights and women's rights is far to the left of Trump's. Anyone who thinks voting makes no difference is not seeing the important role the President will play in the next four years in terms of the Supreme Court. Clinton is a pragmatist on the economy and national security. Her position on fracking is disappointing, but not enough of an issue to make her unelectable.
4. Benghazi and the email server (sounds like a movie title) will likely hurt her during the general election, if only because of all the noise Trump and the Republicans will make about it. I don't think there's anything there, but ours is a country where perception is reality--unfortunately.
5. The DNC has a year's worth of Trump soundbytes. Wait till they unleash them in national TV spots. Republicans live in such a bubble that they think the stupid things they do and say won't come back and bite 'em in the rear. It happened to McCain, happened to Romney, and will now happen to Trump in a big way.
He has saved us all from certain doom!!
Without Trump we would face a President Cruz for the next 8 years I hope people are realising that.
Trump has done the world a great service.
And I'm not saying I want him elected but I'll gladly endure him as President if necessary. The alternative of Cruz would have been too unthinkably horrible.
Same with Trump I'd think. It's beyond me why he has so many supporters (I think the whole thing is a big joke); all I know is Bernie or Hillary had better win.
Now look who will be running in Autumn.
Amazed that Trump STILL gets underestimated.
Again, I don't want him, if I were American I'd be a Democrat.
Although that Palin could turn me... in more than one sense :))
Trump is a MF whose grandparents came from Germany; his mother was a Scottish immigrant; his first wife was a Czech immigrant and his present wife is a Slovenia immigrant...
Wait of course: In their minds "immigrants" do not come from Europe. Immigrants only come from Latin America, Africa, Middle East and Southeast Asia.
Nope. Sanders' numbers are up because he is still spending money and campaigning. And acting like an idiot in the process.
Not to mention angering a good portion of the Democratic party in the process. While I don't find that in and of itself to be a bad thing (the process has been rigged against him to a degree), it does pretty much close whatever small window he had to possibly sneak his way past Clinton for the nomination.
His only hope now is to hang on and hope the FBI recommends charges in the email investigation before the Democratic Convention this summer.
If someone goes negative on him, I suspect his numbers will collapse, outside of the faithful. It's similar to Kasich, who nobody attacked either - so he had high poll numbers.
