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)88. You still don't get a concept this simple?
Hillary's numbers are far more relevant than almost any one else because EVERYONE already knows her and has an opinion about her.
Hillary Who?
I have NEVER heard that. I didn't hear it in 2007/08 and I haven't heard it yet in this election cycle. There are very few people in the US that don't know Hillary Clinton. She has a worldwide presence and is known by nearly everyone.
However, I've heard "Bernie who?" hundreds of times. I'll likely hear it thousands of times by the time the primaries come into full swing.
There is no plateau right now. The polls are essentially meaningless right now. Hillary has a set number of voters firmly in her camp and that's it. There are few if any undecideds for her to shift her way.
Bernie on the other hand has millions yet to get to know him. He has millions struggling day to day that need to hear his message and will embrace his platform as soon as they hear it.
We've just started this election. GOTV, get out the message, and stay positive.

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
