Electability?

What is Hillary thinking? She believes racism is her path to the nomination? Is there nothing she won't do or say? She is playing the race card in the name of electability? This from the person who began this campaign with polls finding that 48% of the electorate despised her so much they'd never vote for her. Since then, in her attempt to win the nomination, she's lied and she's proved she has no principles. I'd bet that there are fewer racist voters in this Country than there are voters who despise her.

She claims that she is more electable. Should we assume she can run a general election campaign? Why? Quite clearly she could not figure out how to run a Democratic Presidential nomination campaign. Caucuses - they don't matter; primaries scheduled after Super Tuesday - they don't matter. Quite simply, we should appoint her the nominee because! That certainly would have cost less.

She lost. She may well have been able to win the nomination but she blew it. Now, she's jumping into the manure. We can only hope that she's also destroyed her ability to win reelection to the Senate.

I am still wondering if she manages to destroy the Democratic Party if a third party, a moderate party, might arise from the ashes. The Democratic Congress is totally ineffectual. The last time the party elected a president was Jimmy Carter - Bill Clinton went around the party using the DLC as a springboard. Perhaps this is the silver lining to the malignant freak show Hillary is performing.
