If HRC had run unopposed for the nom, a GOP victory would be certain by now.

[Ken Burch]

Her support would have declined as sharply as it has anyway, she would be running much, much further to the right on the issues, and her rallies would still be enthusiasm-free zones.

The Republicans never wanted anything like the Sanders movement to happen. They WANTED HRC to run as a centrist.

1. Whether or not she's eventually indicted

for all pay-for-play funny business over at the slush fund, err, Clinton Foundation?

She has hit her ceiling and it's straight downhill from here. The Inevitable Clintanic has been holed beneath the water line by a 74-year-old Brooklyn-born curmudgeon who knows and tells the truth.

2. I don't think I would say that just yet

there is a lot more interesting stuff to be brought up like how mad the Trumpeteers will be if the RNC cuts Trump off at the knees and is blatantly obvious about it.

I was sitting next to a FOX news addict for 16 hours last week and we were not busy working so talked a lot. She was all in on Trump, hated all the other candidates - hated JEB!, hates Rubio, Hates Cruz, it is all Trump for her, but if he was not running and Sanders was, she would vote for Sanders, under no condition would she vote for Clinton. Now, no matter what, the FOX news will be attacking who ever is running as a democrat and that might affect others, but my friend is getting disgusted with FOX now and no longer believes they are the purveyors of truth as she had, they are attacking her Trump guy and she knows they are wrong about that.

SO if Trumpeteers get all riled up with the republican ads, and Clinton is the candidate, yes, she can lose, if my friend stays home in protest, Clinton should win, if Sanders is the candidate it could go either way as well, but at least my friend feels her social security and medicare will be safe with Sanders (because he is old and understands)

3. Here's an alternate reality thought experiment.

If Hillary were a man ... and Bernie a woman ...

... what do you think our Hillarians would be saying about all of Bernadette's 'socialist' proposals?


And ... Hillary, whether opposed or not for the nomination, will be torn to pieces if she is the Democrat's nominee.
She is so bad as a campaigner and the nation is in a mood to thump status quo insiders.
