Hillary... because Trump?

[Bernin4U]

I'm sorry, but it seems I've heard this just once too many times.

Let's examine, shall we?

1. Which Dem candidate consistently polls better against Trump?

2. Which does better in the types of primaries that more closely resemble voting in the GE?

3. Which has the better positive/negative favorability ratings?

4. Which does better in the states more likely to be won in the GE?

5. Which has no pending investigations, little chance for future ones, or preemptive impeachment threats?

If winning... because Trump... is the objective, then the choice is clear.

So if your goal in life is to defeat Trump, but you're trying to do it by bringing a knife to a gunfight, then get your shit together. I don't care how much you love your knife. It's the wrong tool for the job. Get on board with the right one, or I'm not going to take you seriously.

And sure as hell don't come complaining to me if we lose because of your failure to arm yourself for battle correctly.

1. Good points!

If you want to beat Trump vote/nominate Bernie.

2. But...but...but...he hasn't been vetted yet. Oh, and his favorability rating

is around 50 give or take better than either. And the Indies really like him...as opposed to the other two. What's not to like, other than he's Not Hillary?

3. I made a similar argument

Bernie does better against Trump. Period. End of story.

If the Hillary fans were serious about not wanting Trump - if that was their main concern - they would get behind the best candidate against Trump. The reality is that they don't care. They will support Hillary no matter what, in any way they can. They use Trump as a boogey-man to scare/threaten people into voting for their pick. It's like how terrorists use the threat of bombs to scare people into doing something, or the government uses the threat of terrorism to scare people. So in essence they're using Trump as a threat. This is a form of terrorism.

I don't buy it. And I won't be bullied by these people. The power of both parties needs to be broken or we'll just be played as pawns to willingly submit our asses, cheeks pulled wide apart, to the oligarchs and the rich. Fuck it. Blow it wide open.
