(62,325 posts)population listed as Democrats. Polls claiming that she is popular with Dems are polls where no other Dem is opposing her. So you can cut those numbers in half at least since while most Dems WILL say 'yes' I support the Dem, including people like me who do not want her as a candidate, those polls are meaningless.
But let's go with the polls. The biggest voting bloc in the country right now is the Independent vote. At least 10% of former registered Dems, have left the party and are now registered as Indpependents. Guess why they left!
So, to win, getting approx 30% of the vote, and I'm being generous, will not win for Democrats.
Who do you think, other than party loyalists, are going to vote for Hillary?
The Independent vote on the left, are not going to do so.
Certainly she can't be expecting the Republicans to vote for her.
So how do you expect to attract the left Independent vote who left BECAUSE of the Third Way/DLC policies which Hillary symbolizes?
If she is the nominee, Dems are risking a big loss. And if that happens, it will be the fault of those who are so stuck on 'winning' they refuse to listen to the people who can make that happen, the voters.
