1. Poll: Clinton would crush Trump in general election

Hillary Clinton would crush Donald Trump in a hypothetical general election match-up, a new national survey found.

According to a Bloomberg Politics poll released Wednesday, Clinton leads Trump 54 percent to 36 percent in a contest between the two front-runners.

Also troubling for Trump, only 29 percent of likely general election voters nationally have a favorable view of him, compared to 68 percent who view him negatively.

Trump s favorability rating is at an all-time low in the survey, while his negative rating has gone up 13 points since November and has hit a new high.

Clinton is similarly under-water on favorability, with 44 percent saying they have positive view of her and 53 percent saying they view her negatively.

The Republican Party s favorability rating is at an all-time low in the survey, which has been conducted since 2009.

Only 33 percent view the GOP favorably, against 60 percent who have a negative view of the party. Fifty-one percent of likely general election voters have a positive view of the Democratic Party, against 43 percent negative.

Trump does worse in a head-to-head match-up against Clinton than either of his two rivals still in the GOP race.

2. Republicans who hate Trump

would still vote for him because they hate Hillary more.

3. Nope. Her nomination would be the greated GOTV the GOP has ever seen.

Republicans - dead, alive, imaginary, comatose, you name it - will drag themselves to the voting booth to vote against her.
She and her husband would awaken the most vitriolic negative reaction that a Republican could possibly have.
And if she did manage somehow to win, the gridlock we've seen from the GOP for the last 8 years would look like a fucking garden party.

4. But but but she knows how to get things done! nt

7. I'm afraid that's true..

I think the anti Hillary sentiment, no matter how unfair it is, is largely underestimated by the DNC and her supporters. I hear it from literally everyone I know.. even Democrats, who are telling me they don't think they can vote for her. I think most of them will, but you can be sure every non Democrat will vote for her opponent.

5. Well, since Bill encouraged Trump to play an active role in GOP...

I'm guessing they have a long-term plan and don't really need many voters to show up.

1 of two things will happen.

a) Press will finally turn on Trump to point he becomes unelectable (you'd think we'd be there by now). She wins and flops back to original pro-corporation agenda.

b) Trump wins and Billl/Hill's pro-corporation cronies become Trump's staff pushing the same agenda we'd get from her.

No, they are not the same person. But they are similar connected and we know connections matter.

The US is the laughing stock of the world.

6. I think Trump would defeat Hillary because Trump is a genius at character assasination and

Hillary is highly vulnerable in this aspect due to her many questionable issues. Trump will worm his way through those and
have a "field day" at doing what he does best. Hillary is a tough person but I don't think she could weather Trump's barrage of insults. Bernie, on the other, lacks the numerous vulnerable baggage and Bernie is a very tough old bird who can take care of himself very well.

8. Who cares? Either way...

we lose.
