You notice when she actually started to campaign her numbers drop? I dunno if it was her concussion or what but she is a horrible public speaker now.

I think it's hard to say, the republican clown show is significantly holding everyones attention right now. Not all attention is good attention either.

Fivethirtyeight had an article about this just the other day. http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/hillary-clinton-scandal-inevitable-problems/

They more or less say that the favorite to win usually begin to slip in popularity due to things such as negative media coverage.

This is the expected course of things for a frontrunner. Notice how her chances of winning with bookers haven't really strayed. Expect her numbers to rise once the primary is over and Democrats come home.

It's pretty unfair to leave out the second part of my post there.

I really don't think it is.

People take Coulter seriously in 2015? Come on. She also thinks Trump can win the presidency.

If you think a socialist can win the presidency in the US in 2016 you're delusional. He'd be outspent and crushed by bullshit ads 24/7.

Sanders in polling wins against the entire republican field just like Hilary does. He beats some candidates such as Trump even more soundly than Clinton. The latest polling has Hilary at only +5 on Trump with Sanders is beating him at +10.

In presidential politics, money has much more of an impact during the primary. Once the candidate is nominated, there is so much free press and attention thrown towards both the candidates that you can't really "crush" a candidate with ads the way you can in a congressional seat in an off year for example.

Sanders openly being a socialist is really only an issue if he backpedals away from it the way most democrats run away from the allegation. Someone calls Sanders at a debate and Sanders will respond with "Yes. I believe that Medicare and Medicaid are great socialist institutions and I will preserve them and expand them to all citizens" and it's not going to impact him.

Sander's biggest obstacle towards the Presidency is Hilary.

I guess I wasn't clear enough then. Racism is still a huge problem, but it's not the type of racism where someone irrationally hates literally all people of that race.

A lot of people think racism is only outright hatred, and the post I was replying to was using it that way and I'm still trying to find out ways to grapple that term when I think the definition of that term is where the communication breaks a lot of the time.

If you disagree and think the problem with racism is outright hatred, that's fine, but it's hard to tell when you leave out the part where I get into that in my post.

In politics, there are exceptions. Obama is one of those exceptions. Still, notice how Hillary held her own with Obama.

There are no Obamas this time around.
