10 reasons Clinton is a weak candidate

Clinton is so weak she has Drumpf helping her to the White House .

With her hand on top. I wonder how often they swing.

I doubt Trump has any interest in banging Hillary given his taste in women. Bill probably just taps Melania whenever he gets a chance.

She is constantly looking for someone with bigger hands.

You do realize that Trump was liberal at that time, he donated 100,000 to the Clinton charity, in addition to $25,000 to Democratic candidates in 2006.

But im sure Bernie would've turned that down..right?

What do you mean here ?

Lol I admit I like Trump more than anyone else on the GOP side now that Rubio dropped out. However, Hillary is on another level than Donald.

Hillary would literally destroy Trump, and she has not antagonized large populations of voting Americand or the other gender like Trump has.. The Senate idiot Republicans tried to take her down and she owned them. I honestly can't see how the GOP could win this year with how big a mess they are.

War Clinton!!

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

If someone rich / a non political running Trump donated 20k to his campaign - i do not think he would turn that down.

Hendo hates Clinton. He acts like it is some big anti establishment bullshit thing. But really, it has always been about Clinton. If Trump does not end up the candidate, he will jump on whoever is, and find some new idiotic way to justify it.

You are wrong. I will not support Ted Goldman Sachs Cruz, or john Lehman Brothers Kasich.

I am not a partisan. I know this confuses you, but it is true.

Think Again Hillary Democrats: 10 Reasons Why She Could Lose this Fall
03/18/2016 07:12 am ET | Updated 2 days ago

The media tells us that Hillary has a lock on the nomination. That news should make her supporters extremely nervous, and not because the prognosticators have been wrong so many times already. All Democrats should worry because her major policy and character flaws could leave us with a Republican president this fall. Here’s why.

1. The Senator from Wall Street: This is not 1972 when the country was so deeply divided over the Vietnam War. That upheaval wrecked the Democratic Party and led to the Nixon landslide over George McGovern. Now the country is united against Wall Street. Hillary will have a great deal of difficulty triangulating her way to safety. She will never be able to explain away why she received over $11 million in corporate speaking fees, much of it from Wall Street, and why she still is accepting millions from Wall Street for her campaign.

The defensive lines she is using are weak — Obama did it too. I’m have a proven record against Wall Street. I can’t be bought. My proposals are even tougher than my opponent’s.

Do you really think that will sell in the Fall?

2. Free Trade Cheerleader: The neo-liberal consensus on corporate-managed trade has collapsed. The American people know they’ve been had. They see that average worker and thousands of communities have been screwed by trade agreements which put Americans in direct competition with low wage workers around the world. Hillary, during her husbands administration, pressed hard for NAFTA. And until very recently, she was proud of her work to develop the TPP — “the gold standard” of all trade agreements she said — until Bernie forced her to retreat. She has no credible defense.

3. Global Warrior: The American people are also turning away from regime change. Hillary’s record is consistently hawkish. She voted for the Iraq War. She pushed for the takedown of Kaddafi and Assad. Now she wants a dangerous no-fly zone in Syria and she encourages the use of special OPS troops all over the world. The Libya and Middle East are her quagmire.

4. Enthusiasm Gap: While a Trump or a Cruz will draw many to the polls just to defeat them, there is no substitute for positive enthusiasm. We should be worried about the fact that Hillary is having difficulty breaking into double digits with young voters. That’s where the real energy is this year. Maybe she can make up for this with older voters, especially women. But it’s a gamble — a big one. Those Sanders kids may stay home. And guilt-tripping them into voting is not likely to work.

5. Trust: Hillary does not generate trust. Nearly 55% of voters think it’s a quality she lacks. Sure, it’s a wash if Trump is the nominee, given his high unfavorables. But what if it’s a Cruz-Kasich ticket or Ryan? Hillary will be hobbled. And it’s not just a bum rap. She has shape-shifted too many times, on too many issues. Yes, you can always explain away any one instance or another, by saying how she has changed, learned or made a mistake. But doing so only reinforces the image that she’s not being straight — that she’ll say whatever needs to be said to get elected.

6. “I” not “We”: Hillary seems to say “I” more than any other candidate. The election is so clearly about her — her record, her skills, her experience, her ability to get things done. I’ve been in the situation room. I’ve had to make the tough choices. I will work hard for you. “I” is her sense of public service. She wants to do for others, she says again and again. In normal times that might be enough, assuming it was believable. But these are not normal times. There are movements afoot. Bernie has made “we” the mantra of his political revolution. Trump talks about his movement. Cruz talks about the conservative movement. But voters want to be included, to be part of something important. Hillary doesn’t have a feel for how to rally people to a cause. That’s not her. She’s an insider, a player, a person who commands $225,000 speaking fees. And that spells “I”.

7. Working Class Blues: A lot has changed in the public’s perception of Hillary since 2008 when she ran against Obama. Then, she captured the lion’s share of the white working class vote. Much, but not all, had to do with race. It also had to do with the perception that she and Bill were public servants, not rich people. I feel your pain. Today, Hillary casts a different image. She and Bill are very, very rich. They hang out with other very rich people. Together, the Clintons have made over $130,000,000 during the last 8 years. They threw a multi-million dollar wedding for their daughter. That life style creates a growing chasm that separates them from the average working family.

Trump is much richer but doesn’t talk that way. In comparison, Hillary sounds more like Jeb Bush — the policy nerd. Not a good year for that.

8. Unmotivated African-American voters: Hillary is beating Bernie because of her lopsided support among black voters. Clearly the Clinton machine’s many years of engagement with the black political and social infrastructures has made a difference. But will that translate into a massive turnout in November without Obama on the ticket? It’s possible that her support for Wall Street and trade bills will temper the turnout among some black working class voters. And she doesn’t seem to have any proposals that will generate real enthusiasm. Just saying “breaking all barriers” is not enough. Are we counting on Obama doing it for her?

9. The Typical Politician: Hillary sounds incredibly scripted — like every line was carefully tested in a focus group. It’s not just that she says them again and again. By this point, every candidate is a broken record. It’s that she seems less than sincere. It’s hard to fathom what she really believes. But that is not her biggest problem. Her real political character comes out when she goes on the attack. For example, her claim that Bernie didn’t support the auto bailout was a monumental distortion, if not an outright fabrication. The fact that she doubled down and repeated accusations showed a political character that is not about trust. It’s the opposite, in fact. It showed that we could trust her to lie, when necessary, to get what she wants — what she feels is her due.

10. Weaker Polling: Hillary supporters should be worried that Bernie polls better against the Republicans. Yes, there are many ways to explain that away too. The argument most repeated is that the Republicans haven’t done a number on him yet. Wait until they red-bait him....

But Hillary’s poll numbers show weakness right now. Yes, she beats the Republicans in most polls. But why is Bernie doing better? Think about that for a bit. He’s a self-declared socialist in the most capitalist country in the world and he’s doing better than Hillary Rodham Clinton, a capitalist to the core? How can that be?

The answer is simple. Bernie is everything Hillary is not. He’s a straight shooter, who is willing to fight Wall Street and to stop fighting useless wars.

Clinton is a weak candidate. Democrats are about to learn this the hard way.

If this election is about Donald Trump, Trump is in trouble.

If Trump can make this about Clinton, and who she is, say hello to President Trump folks.

11. You're a sore loser.

If someone rich / a non political running Trump donated 20k to his campaign - i do not think he would turn that down.

He turned down $2,700 (the max an individual can give) from Martin Shkreli.

PR move completely - 2'700 is not worth Shkreli name attached to you -
2'700'000 would not be enough

But i doubt if bernie was campaigning in 2006 - he would've turned down Trumps donation.

I agree, as far as I know Trump was just a relatively uncontroversial obnoxious billionaire moderate at the time.

I dont know the man so i have no idea what his true political allegiances / view laid in 06.

I know Bernie has no problem taking donations from the largest billion dollar corporations and leaders in job outsourcing - the same companies he rallies against.

Politics, eh.

You are wrong here. Bernie has taken money from local business people in Vermont like Ben and Jerry's, and unions, but go take a look at his campaign finance record. It is clean. You can't link corporate money Bernie took to a vote. Ben and Jerry's doesn't have a whole lot of congressional interests.

Hes taken donations from Apple and Amazon...

One is a billion dollar company with zero manufacturing presence in the US (sorry, some in the glass area) and the other leads the way in automation / foreign product import.
