and they not only don't trust her, they don't like her. She is going to have a HUGE problem in the GE, especially if she is against a perceived moderate Republican.

Assuming that she wins the Dem nomination and runs against either Trump or Cruz, I don't think she'll be running against a moderate in either Cruz or Trump.
