Hillary 2020

…it means what I said.

“Hillary Clinton and Donald J. Trump head into the presidential race with the worst favorable ratings of any presumed Democratic or Republican nominee in decades.”

I don’t need too.

Yep.

Net approval rating measures, get this, this may shock you, but it measures approval. I might like someone, but not approve of their actions. So if you want to measure likability, then show me the polls that measure that.

This doesn’t make any sense. Trump destroyed every single Republican. They didn’t even really come close. You can’t pretend this was a normal election. There is no basis to predict that “Any normal Republican would have won in a landslide.” Nothing at all.

What part of the Democratic Primary process do you not understand?

You are missing the point.

I really don’t care to re litigate what happened in the last election.

But you really need to understand exactly what happened.

Your country got fucked.

It got fucked by the Russians.

It got fucked by the social media companies, that turned over data to people who used it in ways that it shouldn’t have who used it to devastating effect.

It got fucked again by the social media companies who took a “hands-off” approach to content, allowing people to curate their own feedback loops to supply themselves with constant 24 hour propaganda.

It got fucked by the electoral college, a stupid ridiculous antiquated system that has no place in a modern democracy.

It got fucked by the so-called “main-stream-media”, which decided that both Trump and Clinton were “equally as bad” so it made it look like “Hillary’s emails” were as bad if not worse of a scandal than “grab them by the p#$sy” or Trumps connections to Russia.

It got fucked by the main-stream-media again who had the Steele Dossier story in their hands months before the election but decided not to publish.

It got fucked by Comey who considered that it was his duty to release information about Hillary’s emails just before the election but didn’t release any of the Trump/Russia story.

And I could go on and on and on. We are still learning stuff. Like the Illinois database hacks. It will be years before we know everything.

Stop pretending this was all about people “not liking Clinton.” It was so much more than that. If Sanders had run he would have had to deal with all of the above as well and worse. America has never seen anything like this before in the history of the country. And you are still under attack. The article cited in the OP is just part of the process. Learn to recognize it. Don’t be part of the problem.

I think it is.

She was if we used your metric.

I haven’t argued it was “good enough.” Even if she had a 10-1 chance of winning that wouldn’t be “good enough” if she eventually lost.

Yeah we’ve had this discussion. And if I remember correctly we destroyed these “hypothetical polls.” But if you think you’ve got a point, feel free to cite them again and we will take a look.

Was that the poll you cited once that included names like Sean Spicer and Jared Kushner?
