    Yup yup. She is pretty horrible. And then what does the GOP do?? They look high and low, far and wide, for the absolutely worst candidate to run against her or anyone. A dip s h i t of such high accord that combined with the fact that the country has mostly improved economically from what Obama was given upon entering office. She will win, because sane people are scared as hell of (I mean not opposed to Trump winning because of differences of opinion on social issues etc. but actually scared) Trump being president of the U.S.

    So what happens? You get a highly HIGHLY unlikable, power hungry to her very core, a double dose of Clinton, right after a double dose of Bush, against all odds of having won the popular vote for the Dems 5 out of 6 times (will be 6 out of 7) All because the Republicans vote in a complete scam artist that most likely does not believe 30-40% of the things he is even saying. Someone that besides Bob Dole none of the voted GOP candidates support. They will not even show up to the convention because of how much they despise him.

    Now we get to listen to you mighty conservatives complain about this lady for the 5 to 9 years about how horrible she is, it's already gotten old after a year. Because they do not know how to throw out on stage a remotely sane candidate. Second place is a albeit smart, but creepy as hell and crazy Ted Cruz.

    Perhaps somewhere soon will come a conservative that will strike enough boxes that will be electable. I would take Bush II over Trump or Cruz, the latter two may be smarter than the former. But at least I know he had a decent heart and isn't f'ing crazy.

    If not it will be 7 out of 8 Democrats winning the popular vote for elections. Which is just nuts... yaaay for Bush vs Kerry.

    Can we refrain from making **** assertions such as "Hillary created ISIS" without an iota of evidence?

    She's unlikeable in much the same way that Mitt Romney is unlikeable. In an earlier era she would've been God's gift to the Republicans, but too bad the modern day crazies don't realize that.

    no, but she should be held responsible for publicly trashing the young women her sleazebag husband took advantage of.

    how pro-woman is she when she calls monica lewinsky a “narcissistic loony tune”?

    she is a liar, corrupt, controlled by wall street, corporatist sell-out, war-monger and johnny-come-lately on many issues that are important to liberals. in other words, she is the epitome of the status quo.

    i would never vote for her, but at least she is not donald trump, who is a bigger liar than she is and also an authoritarian-nationalist, bigoted racist, narcissistic childish blabbermouth and someone who wants to have sex with his own daughter. his policy proposals are about as deep as a puddle and he has no way of getting any of his agenda through. and even if he could, his stupid wall, protectionist trade policies and calls for more wars would destroy our economy and do great harm to the american people. there is nothing fiscally conservative about anything he wants to do.

    i will be doing what i always do and voting 3rd party. i am the 1%!!!

    Equally mind-boggling is the DISMAL 3rd party field. This couldn't have happened at a worse time.

    Let's see:

    Jill Stein: The Greens have some good ideas, but the woman is just plain weak. Putin would eat this woman alive. Plus the $15/hr federal minimum wage is just a terrible idea. What on earth is this mandate going to do but kill what's left of our small businesses. We need good jobs in this country, not some ridiculous mandate from someone who knows nothing about real job creation.

    Gary Johnson: Sorry, but manufacturing needs to be brought home. No more terrible trade deals with mafia run countries. The USA is a consumer driven society. Think of the millions of jobs that would be created if we were to supply the majority of the goods we use from factories in our own country. I go way out of my way and will pay whatever the price difference to buy made in the USA.

    I'm open to other candidates not yet in my visual field.

    It's because she's bad at what every other public figure is good at. When Obama lies, he really sells it. When Trump lies, the intent of the lie aligns with his audience's goals. He knows exactly what he's doing with that. These people know what they're doing.

    When Hillary lies, she barely tries. Everyone and their mother knows she's lying, and she knows we know she's lying. It shows a carelessness towards concealing her corruption and her family's intentional/unintentional quest to impose their will over everyone else in spite of democracy. At least when Obama covers up something shameful, we know deep down he knows it's shameful because he's really working on covering it up. Hillary doesn't give a F and that's not something the human mind can trust.

    However, it is a problem that money and crooked influence can fix, which is why we are where we are. Also doesn't hurt that she's running against a racist nutjob who is grossly incompetent with money.

    Dinesh D'Souza, the Indian Republican that other Indian Republicans are ashamed of and afraid to be confused with. Just ask Rasmesh Ponnuru and Bobby Jindal.

    Do all those complaints combined merit her being jailed or being shot by a firing squad?

    This is the right wing "law and order" logic: anyone who behaves in an "unlikable" way deserve to be jailed, shot, hanged and otherwise subject to violence and abuse by either law enforcement or vigilantes.

    Where is the Vast right wing conspiracy option? That is the true reason. They have been attacking this woman for 25 years....yet she still has risen to the top. Republican HATE that a woman is so strong and has kept giving the finger.

    It would be much easier to just say what, if anything, is likable about Hillary Clinton. Then you'd just have to put a "She's not Trump" option and be done with it.

    unfortunately, the election is about personality over policy and the 3rd party options are both duds.

    so you would go out of your way to pay four times as much for something just because it was made in the usa? that is admirable, i guess, but the the vast majority of american consumers are not going to go along with that. like you said, we are a consumer driven society and the consumer is not going to pay more for something just b/c it was made in the usa.

    as for bringing manufacturing back...not going to happen and we need to get over it and move on. you can't force multi-national corporations to bring jobs back here for $20 hour that they can do for .50 cents/hour in india. profits know no borders and thinking you can roll back the global-market we live in now is naive.

    trump is pandering to the manufacturing class (sanders did too), but the real driver of our economy now is technology/innovation. thats where the money is...not in manufacturing or coal. look at the biggest growing cities in they country - austin is a great example. tech is the driver of the economy...not manufacturing.

    I hate to break the news, but its only the democratic homers who like her. She is extremely unpopular everywhere, including other nations.

    Most of the options have nothing to do with her real history of "being unlikeable" which goes back to 1992. She was really the first future and eventual First Lady who was a accomplished professional and she came in with an unapologetic attitude. She made some mistakes where she said she would apologize for not being home all day and baking cookies and the like. So she came a cross as condescending to stay at home moms. She was seen as an elitist. It was claimed that she was a commie because of the flag burning incident.

    She was never warm, never personable and so there was a backlash from the beginning. By the time she was a politician she was working from a generally negative national goodwill which she never was able to overcome because her personality is...uh...lacking. Especially when around her husband who is one of the greatest, most natural politicians and public speakers of the last 50 or so years.

    Many people don't like incompetent politicians, so yes the options are indeed relevant.

    With so few votes, this shows that most of America is too smart to vote for Trump.
