I don't get it? Personally if I were a republican I would really want hillary as the democratic choice, absolutely.
there's one thing this country hates as a whole with no impunity, and that's weakness. Whether or not Hillary deserves the psychological stigma or not, her silence on her husbands infidelity, and the fact her husband cheated on her in the first place, all point towards weakness. I would be happy as hell if I were a republican if Hillary was nominated as democratic choice.
Now before anybody judges me about saying this, it has NOTHING to do with any opinion I may have on the issue, it's just simple examination of the psychological profile of the country.
Another reason for republicans to be happy if Hillary gets nominated, this country loves "bubba's". One thing Hillary is not, is a 'bubba', her husband was, but not her.
Not that any of the presidents I'll mention actually are, or were down home rednecks, but they all could come across that way.
Since Nixon, Bubba's (or down home, good old boys) have come out on top in the elections, Reagon, Clinton, GWB, all bubba's! Look at their competition,
Reagon had Carter, and Mondale,
Clinton had Dole and Bush Sr.
GWB had Gore and Kerry.
The only Bubba type competition there is Carter, and he had the hostage crisis, coupled with a recession.
We love rednecks, if the democrats want to win they have to find another Clinton type who can give a goofy laugh and tell a down home story like GWB can.
Basically Americans are retarded, we want uncle Clem to keep the neighbors in line and whittle us up an economy!
