Trump victory: Good or bad for liberals ?

[exploited]

Pointing out that her opponent is Trump and therefore she is likely to win is completely besides the point. If I say I'm a good hockey player because I can defeat twenty four-year-olds, that doesn't mean I'm actually a good hockey player.

The fact is that she is running a terrible campaign. It defies all logic to argue otherwise. I can get why you might support her on a pragmatic level, but you are utterly delusional if you think that her campaigning is anything but awful.

Could it be that her pre-primary landslide potential was somewhat overestimated? Her husband was the popular Clinton, and it seems to have stuck to her prior to the primary season. Once that began, everyone remembered Bill wasn't the one running.

I'm not disregarding the surprise appeal of Bernie, but I also think her supposed strength as a candidate was more assumed than seriously considered prior to the primaries. Happened to a lot of candidates (lest we forget about Jeb Bush).

People only really started saying she was gonna landslide when Cruz and Trump became the two frontrunners. Everyone except complete partisan shills admitted she would have formidable challenges should she face some of the more mainstream GOP candidates.

Yeah if any of the real GOP candidates had won itbwould be a much harder race. Trump taps into a very vocal part of the country and has little appeal outside of it. jeb! Would have been a formidable challenge

He's a populist for sure, but not to the degree that Trump is.
