Why Hillary won't win the general election

Setting aside most of Hillary Clinton lying for 13 minutes straight in this recent YouTube with 3,788,755 views and focusing on the presentation from 8:37 to10:56 you’ll see a straight up CBS News report showing an exaggeration growing into a lie, then that lie growing stronger. Presented as a fabrication to make her international experience seem more impressive, Hillary lacked the experience to know enough that fabricating stories while the cameras are rolling will always get you in the end. And once CBS outed her lies, she still could not come to terms with the truth.

It could not be more obvious, that Bosnian “misremembering” event is what Republicans live for. In an era where the downfall of Brian Williams is still fresh in voters’ memories, pretending the Clinton camp’s final words on Hillary Clinton’s landing in Bosnia fantasy fiction will be the final words, that would be a case of Hillary supporters in total denial.

Of course neither Barack Obama nor Bernie Sanders had any use for that story, they are decent human beings. But in a general election against a Party where they specializes is elevating character assassination so Americans will forget the issues, this is mother's milk. With the recent national public debate, the decision that the “defects of character” of an anchorperson who was in an actual war zone and later exaggerated the facts left him unfit for smiling and reading from a network teleprompter, the Republican Party must be thrilled at the prospect of running against another person who fabricated lies to make herself feel important.

For Republicans this is a one minute saturation commercial waiting to happen. Sunday morning Republican talking heads on TV saying “At least Brian Williams could actually hear enemy gunfire.” It will become a debate where Hillary pundits won’t be able to find a leg to stand on. People like Stephanie Cutter trying with “all politicians lie” but leading to discussion comparing quoting statistics from questionable sources to the relationship between self aggrandizing lies and narcissistic personality disorder traits. A campaign strategy that leads to Wolf Blitzer sitting across from some prominent psychiatrist discussing Hillary’s emotional stability. Voters will be reminded of that next door neighbor or co-worker that fabricates wild stories about themselves to "one up" them. The issues will be forgotten as the election degrades to pure conservative values vs. that “former brain surgeon” DMV employee next door neighbor of yours who saw you coming back from a Bruce Springsteen concert saying “That’s nothing. I went to high school with him and used to jam with the band at the Stone Pony.” The question will become “Should that type of person be running the nation?”

I’m sure at this point, the people left falling into the Hillary faithful camp, just don’t want to know about it. Anyone who is planning on voting for Hillary in tomorrow’s New York primary or one of the upcoming states, will probably need to tell themselves “This is so twenty years ago” but Hillary was not a teenager when it happened and how many years prior to the 2004 election did John Kerry take up the innocent act of windsurfing? Pretending that Bernie was too hard on Hillary and this primary made her stronger, is a false belief because Bernie was going very soft on Hillary and the on deck batters are the people who brought us swiftboating.

And if the Republican Party manages to take out Trump and Cruz, Hillary’s low voter turnout strategy is never going pan out. With that video, even Cruz could drive Hillary’s already dismal approval ratings down low enough for four more years of Republicans putting a hurting on Americans.

A lot of wanderers in the U.S. political desert recognize that all the duopoly has to offer is a choice of mirages. Come, let us trudge towards empty expanse of sand #1, littered with the bleached bones of Deaniacs and Hope and Changers.

In February, they dismissed polls showing Bernie Sanders defeating all GOP contenders as too early to be meaningful. (Never mind that February polls have closely predicted five consecutive elections.) Now it’s mid-April, when political science scholarship shows that trial heat polls are very predictive, but somehow Sanders’s even larger leads remain meaningless. -- Jacobin

So here we are at Mid-April and Sanders remains the much stronger candidate.

The Clinton supporters must be praying that Trump gets the nomination.
