She would do just fine, but she’ll never be elected. HRC had a better chance and failed…

Hilary was subject to one of the longest running smear campaigns I can remember. The right started pounding her years before she ever got near the Oval Office.

Hell, it’s actually still ongoing, and she’s retired.

edit: You may have noticed them pursuing a similar strategy with AOC too. They like to go after potential future dem leadership very early.

Add to that, she earned the resentment of Obama supporters in 2008 and Sanders supporters in 2016. And I bet Harris would bother to campaign in swing states.

AND she still probably would have won if Comey didn’t drop another “but her emails” bombshell immediately before the election. It was completely inappropriate and allowed Trump to just barely squeak into office. One that had no legal teeth, and resulted in no legal issues after the election.

And she still won millions more votes, just in the wrong places.

Yes, and the messaging that Kamala has repeatedly slept her way to the top with no other skills and is simultaneously inept and corrupt is definitely out there and now intensifying.

Too many people hate HRC. Kamala hasn’t been in the spotlight for decades like HRC has.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
