Cenk Uygur Warns Democrats: Don't Bet The Country On Hoping Clinton Remains Less Unpopular Than Trum

TYT: Hillary Clinton’s unfavorability polls could make her the most widely disliked candidate the Democratic party has ever nominated. The only worse candidate happens to be Donald Trump. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down.

Jon Stewart: Hillary Clinton Failing To "Render Her Inauthenticity" Fast Enough To Avoid Lag

"And that is not to say that she is not preferable to Donald Trump, because at this point I would vote for Mr. T over Donald Trump, but she will be in big trouble if she can't find a way -- and maybe I'm wrong, maybe a real person doesn't exist underneath there. I don't know."

"There are politicians who are either rendering their inauthenticity in real enough time to apear authentic, and then there are politicians who are rendering their inauthenticity like if you have a Mac and you want to play a Microsoft game on it, there's this weird lag."

Jon, as always, nails it.

Hillary Bets Big On Kentucky’s Democratic Derby

Clinton is a different story. Statistically and practically, she is the Democrats’ presumptive presidential nominee. And yet there is a nagging worry even among her own party insiders that she is going to be a tough sell in November, the favorable Electoral College math notwithstanding.

A string of recent losses to Sanders — and his continued strong showing, stronger than Clinton’s, in test match-ups against Republican Donald Trump — have heightened that concern.

Even supporters agree: Clinton has weaknesses as a candidate. What can she do?

Withdraw?

"Hillary Clinton’s declining personal image, ongoing battle to break free of the challenge from Sen. Bernie Sanders and struggle to adapt to an anti-establishment mood among voters this year have become caution signs for her campaign and the focus of new efforts to fortify her position as she prepares for a bruising general election."

Democracy? Rules? Yeah, right.

Hillary is shoved down your throat whether you like it or not, whether it is by the rules or not.

Enjoy the illusion of having a vote.

Hillary Clinton the Banker's Choice - I'm wth Her!

Oh joy unbounded. She can tell them to "cut it out" again. Worked so well the first time.

Wall Street Bets on a Democrat

"Clinton gathered almost 70 cents of every $1 spent in the presidential race by employees of the six biggest U.S. banks in the first quarter, according to data compiled by Bloomberg Government based on Federal Election Commission reports. "

-snip-

One of her most prominent backers during her last presidential run, Goldman Sachs Chief Executive Officer Lloyd Blankfein, was asked on CNBC in February if he's still behind her.

“I don't want to help or hurt anybody by giving them an endorsement,” Blankfein said.

This is one weak nominee: Hillary Clinton’s problem isn’t Bernie Sanders. It’s Hillary Clinton

"Say whatever you want about Clinton’s lengthy résumé—and her credentials are indeed impressive—her performance this primary season is hardly indicative of a strong candidate."

-snip-

"Look no further than the 2000 election, when another policy-wonk Democrat with little charm or charisma—Al Gore—failed to ride his impressive credentials to the White House. Gore, a two-term vice president with prior lengthy service in both the Senate and House, lost to an anti-intellectual GOP opponent with no Washington experience. Sound familiar?"

Pretty messed up when a Democrat gets headlines for taking a "Progessive Step"

Hillary Clinton Embraces Progressive Federal Reserve Reforms

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/hillary-clinton-progressive-fed-reforms_us_5734c8fce4b060aa78199d25

It would be worthy of a headline if a Republican took such a step, but for a Democrat? And I am supposed to get excited that said candidate is becoming more progressive?

Yeah, right. Totally believable.
