Anecdotal evidence: stupor Wednesday edition

[Warren Stupidity]

At work we have two groups of republicans, the ranged and the deranged. The latter were quite clear that they will be voting against Clinton, who apparently belongs in jail because <words>.

The ranged are just dismayed by Trump and may or may not vote and it isn't clear at all that they won't just fall in line and vote for Trump. They do not seem to think voting for Clinton is a possibility.

Not one person across the political spectrum voiced any enthusiasm for Clinton at all.

So the point, and it is only anecdotal, is that Trump v Clinton is not a sure bet for a Clinton victory.

Clinton's non-anecdotal negatives are yuuuuge. She will get out the vote, drive turnout, but not for Democrats. We are likely in the process of selecting the best candidate to lose to Trump.

1. It does look that way

Bernie is the only way out of that mess.

2. 'If we are going to nominate someone who 50% of our people can't stand,

we are going to lose.'

Marco Rubio

Goes for BOTH parties.

5. My favorite stat was from Hillary's "win" in Massachusetts

80% said that Bernie was trustworthy, and 53% thought that Hillary was.

Only 53% ?

Imagine what Republicans think of her.

6. Right.

3. There are quite a few prominent repugs that have said they'd vote for Clinton . . .

if Trumps wins the nomination.

4. He has no support with Hispanics or African Americans.

When I see this claim being made I wonder if the person making the claim thinks only white people vote. There are very specific percentages of minority votes one absolutely has to get to become president,Trump doesn't have them and doesn't have a prayer of getting them.

7. No I think there are sure r votes sure d votes

and a large block of undecided independent swing votes.

Non-white voters are overwhelmingly in the d camp. The election will be decided, as always by that other group, the undecided independent voter, and by the turnout of all of those groups.

Clinton is not driving turnout in the d base.
