AverageGuy's JournalThe problem with Hillary
She is not playing to win, but rather not to lose (as football announcers would say)
As any football fan knows, this is the quickest way to lose
Her lost to Obama really spooked her
This is the view of a person who supports her because she was the most likely to beat a Republican, but now is having second thoughts
I support Hillary, but I am afraid she can not win the GE
One of the reasons I supported her was that I thought she was a shoo-in for the general election. After all no-one has ever had more experience then her before running for President, and she would be the first female president. Bernie was a self-confessed Socialist which many low information voters think is the same as a communist, ie Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. O'Malley was a Governor of a small blue state that taxed the rain (talk about tax and spend), and his hand picked successor lost in a land slide. And Biden's many gaffs made him a joke to many people.
This was an election that we must win because of the justices who will be replaced on SCOTUS over the next four years.
Carly Fiorina, in the words of the NY Times, as the sole woman in a 17-candidate (Republican) primary field, is singularly qualified to stand up to Mr. Trump. This is also a year that government experience does not seem to count very much with voters. Good-bye to two of the main assets Hillary had to help her win the race. Carly may well be the Republican nominee.
Hillary also has the eMail server questions, and how it feeds into the questions about her character ie truthfulness and honesty. Finally, IMO Hillary is just a bad candidate, her personality does not connect with people the way Bill's did. Her likeably in polls are now under water. And Bernie has not said one word against her.
I do not know why the Clinton foundation never changed its name, and why she never cut all ties to it. It has been the root of so many problems this year.
I am afraid, I am very, very afraid. Are there any other possible viable Democratic candidates out there?
The problem with identity politics
What do you believe will happen in the GE if the Republicans nominate a female non-politician Fiorina as president and Marco Rubio or Ben Carson as VP. With identity politics identifying with a candidate is more important then ideology.

What is the difference between the "Server" Hillary was using for her eMails
and the "personal computer" that I use for my eMails? Please inform me, thank you.
Why I support Trump's comments about McCain
I am a Vietnam era veteran and not a supporter of Donald Trump, but I do not like the way the other Republican candidates are piling on him because of his comments about Senator McCain. I will now give my viewpoint.
Senator McCain is a hero, but is no more so then the 1000's of nameless American servicemen who were also captured, and did not have an active duty four-star admiral as a father. They did not get the hype and come home to a hero's welcome the way McCain did. They, and countless wounded Vietnam veterans, came home anonymously with no celebration, and little or no care for their wounds, both physical and mental. Too many ended up homeless in the streets, they did not end up going to the United States Senate. Rather then using his position in the Senate, making sure those Vietnam veterans got the care they earned, as you think he would, he was meeting with federal regulators to discuss and influence the government's investigation of the Lincoln Savings and Loan Association.
John McCain may be a hero, but he is no more so then any other person who served in Vietnam.
