In reply to the discussion: Favorability Ratings Show Hillary Clinton Is Unelectable and Bernie Sanders Wins a General Election [View all]kristopher
(29,798 posts)66. Actually you are fulfilling the roll of the B Committee in this scenario
Like you, they were twisting and distorting in order to make an attack on someone they want to get rid of.
Not surprised you try to insert yet another false meme into the discussion; it's a strategy that looks to be your primary 'go to' approach for disrupting any real discussion.
The fact is you've rejected a widely accepted premise with claims that your out-of-context-quotes from the supporting documents applied to situation you were refuting.
That was untrue; and you knew it was untrue when you posted it.
Not only did you distort the timeframe of the researchers findings, you were citing a study that did not explore the role of trust, favorability and likability in forecasting.
This is where Hillary has hovered for probably 20 years. Cheerleaders like yourself have no valid rebuttal for this criticism; and the only actual attempt I've seen to rationalize it away is the (paraphrased) hope that "Everyone loves a winner so when they see Hillary on a roll they'll flock to her and she will win".
That is delusional given the solidity of public opinion surrounding her but at least it is a true opinion based on a (remote) possibility.
This is where Hillary stood in 2007. This is where she stands today in the key battleground states.
And this is almost certainly where she will stand if/when she faces the R candidate (Kasich?) next summer.
62% - 34% not honest and trustworthy;
52% - 46% has strong leadership qualities
57% - 39% does not care about their needs and problems
It's time for a change, and Hillary isn't it.

I have not found his information to be correct in the past, this poll is not close to many other

So you think grandstanding on the internet will counteract voter preferences.

Yet Hillary is 30+ points over Sanders. To suggest Sanders will win is delusional. n/t
