2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Hillary's resume. [View all]DCBob
(24,689 posts)Here are a few key ones...
-- His age. I wonder if he can withstand a grueling Presidential general election campaign.
-- His style. Bernie comes off as old, tired and cranky. Not an image most voters prefer.
-- His limited appeal. Bernie's focus is mostly on economics. That's not good enough to run for POTUS.
-- His lack of foreign policy experience. This will be a huge problem given what has just happened in Paris.
-- His lack of appeal to minorities. We cant win a general election without the minority vote.
-- His extreme approach to economic reforms. His ideas are interesting but I think America is not ready for them.
-- His oddball past. Fair or not the GOP with exploit this.
-- He is a self-identified socialist. Fair or not, the GOP with also exploit this to no end.
Bottom line, Bernie is a huge risk. Hillary is our best bet to beat the GOP.
