i.e., is not the beneficiary of nepotism.....

I would also add - sort of related - but now we're hearing this talk of the poll numbers not being that reliable....etc., etc. - especially in this particular thread....

I looked at the infamous WSJ/NBC (unbiased ) that had Hillary something like 75% to Bernie's 15%.....Those were only the summary numbers....deep within those numbers was the sad truth that Hillary's negatives equaled her positives.....I think that her high poll numbers have been largely based firstly on her name recognition and secondly on her being the only candidate and running against the Republican clowns (er a the Republican opponent)....In other words, her supposedly unassailable numbers were manufactured and not based on what she stands for or running against any other Democratic opponent....
