Clinton should pretty much be blowing it out the door VS Trump in the polls?

Against Trump this should be an easy walk in the park. She has the Minority,Women,Hispanic vote locked in. She is the First female running as president so that should be a big plus.

What is going on?

The wheels are coming off her campaign.

She has no charisma.

People really really dislike her, not everyone, but a lot of people.

She's liked more than Drumpf, not that it means much since they both have high negative ratings. But Drumpf has achieved his higher negatives in less than a year, while Hillarys have taken decades of right wing attacks.

I always find the biggest douchenozzles continue to reference the overplayed oliver piece...

whats funny is that the predictions had the republican convention being a shit show and the dems running a lean machine...whereas what we actually see is the Donald has locked this thing up and the Dems are headed into a mess.

Over 4 million more republicans have voted in the primaries, so far, than democrats. (23,171,541 vs. 19,155,825) The numbers were from last month. Yeah, probably more in red states, but that's still a hell of a lot more votes. That tells me that the democrats are either resting on their laurels, or they are just not into it this time around, for whatever reasons. Hillary's campaign has no real energy or excitement. She just brings the same tired old playbook to the table, nothing fresh.

All those constituencies are somewhat countered by the fact that Trump will have the white male and white working class vote by solid double digits.

Hillary has more votes in the primary than Drumpf, it's also been confirmed that Drumpf is NOT bringing in new voters, you have 17 candidates on one side so naturally they'll be more overall votes. Means nothing in the overall scheme of the election.

It's like trying to decide which pile of shit to step in. The one by the St. bernard or the one by the Great dane.
LOL +1

Here we have two horrible people who pretty much mirror each other's negative. It's going to be establishment (i.e. experience) versus anti-establishment (i.e. business acumen) since neither is particularly likable.

People don't like Hillary because of "right wing attacks"? Haha, she is simply not likable.

Really? No shit! How many Democrats started in the race, compared to the number of Republican candidates?

Still, with all of that luggage she's dragging around, with all of those skeletons in her closet and cankles to boot, there's no denying that Hillary is, for all practical purposes, qualified (based on time in gov't service at the highest levels) whereas Trump, with that misfiring mouth spouting nothing but empty promises has zero, zilch, nada, nichts experience in gov't.

Shoots, even Obama had more experience than Trump when he tossed his hat in.

Can't wait for Trump and Hillary to square off in debate. Should be fun.
