Bernie should have never been in the race given all of his tremendous disadvantages. It was only because Clinton has so many glaring flaws as a candidate that this went anywhere.
Quote:This is only because Sanders has been treated incredibly nicely by the Clinton campaign, and because the Republicans also are saying absolutely nothing negative about him.
I don't know what you've been looking at, but the Clinton campaign has been hideously ugly towards Sanders for months. I won't forget Clinton surrogate John Lewis implying that Sanders wasn't involved in the civil rights movement so as to sway black voters, or that incident in Nevada where Dolores Huerta and America Ferrera invented tales of Sanders supporters chanting "English Only" in order to sway Hispanics against him. That was the shit that made me decide not to vote for her in the general election.
Quote:The Kochs even managed to say something nice about Sanders! That kind of thing doesn't happen by accident, they were just trying to get their favored opponent, so that after he's formally nominated they can open the floodgates and destroy him. And they would, there's plenty in his history that is great grounds for attack ads. And as for Clinton, she's been super-easy on him in order to not alienate his voters. This campaign has had some negativity, mostly from Sanders' supporters with their obnoxious waves of Hillary-hate, but compare this to even '08 and there is no comparison, that primary was much more negative.

There has been equal amounts of vitriol from Clinton supporters online. I've seen tons of it. I get it, too. People get heated when they support their side. I just don't get why people support her. The best thing you can say about her is that Trump is worse. Clinton won't help out the poor or make things better around the world, because she's a throwback to the Democrats of the 80s and 90s, who were (to coin a phrase) cuckolded by Reagan and are afraid to be progressive in any meaningful sense. She won't inspire voters to take back congress. Hell, she'll probably be facing impeachment from day one because that's what the GOP loves to do. In 2008, America wanted Hope and Change. Now, the best we can hope for is "Let's Not Even Bother Trying".
Quote:The upside here is that everyone already knows all the bad things about Hillary, She's been attacked from both left and right constantly for decades now. So far this campaign, Hillary has faced the most negative press, and the least positive press, and yet she's winning anyway. There are no surprises, and the attacks have already been used. She'll do fine.
She is winning the Democratic primary because her surrogates control the party. The rules in place favored her, and she has Super PAC money in virtually limitless amounts. That won't be the case against Trump.
