Hillary Clinton taking calls, getting closer and closer to running

You are the one who mentioned the popular vote polls that were published before the November 2016 election.

I mentioned no such thing. I said I do not believe the last poll done by Fox and I said the polls in 2016 said she was going to win back then. Now if I am wrong about what the 2016 polls said, I stand corrected.

If she does run, I wonder if they [some democrats] are going to follow up with one of the latest conspiracy theories that she was involved in arranging for JFK, Jr., to fly that plane into non-VFR conditions, which resulted in his death, because he might have run against her in the NY Senate election of 2000. And his name would get more votes than hers.

Considering 2000, why would any poll taker not go by Electoral votes rather than the popular vote?

Because it would take canvassing several
times over, based on statistical analysis, more potential voters to do it state by state. You can do it nationally with, say, 800 potential voters, but you can’t split the 800 by state into 16 potential voters and get anything meaningful.

The popular vote argument is ridiculous. We don’t elect presidents with a popular vote. The polls that predicted her winning a popular vote were worthless.

And Clinton did win the popular vote just as the polls predicted.
The MSM had Clinton winning the presidency based on polls saying she would win many of the swing states that she actually lost. It was predicated on a state-by-state basis. I know of no polling organization that said she would win the presidency because she would win the overall popular vote. If you know of one, please post a link.

Trump barely won the Electoral College based on about 78,000 votes spread over three states. There is no way to have "predicted" that other than by guessing or wishful thinking. It was basically a 3/1 shot defeating a 1/3 shot.

I thought he was going to win because he had large crowds and Hillary couldn't get a crowd at all in the middle west, not even in 2008. Hillary is not likable and Obama drove away investment, putting capital on strike. Money doesn't seem to be an issue with Libertarians.

Not a bad way to analyze it.

Thank you very much. The Dems used to play Happy Days Are Here Again. Now they play Wilma Lee's Wreck on the Highway. In 2008, Hillary spoke in Indy in front of the American Legion late one afternoon. The crowd was a total of a couple hundred or so of mostly women, some from the downtown lesbian neighborhood. Obama won the primary and then carried Indiana in 2008. Then the bad times started--no raises, no promotions, and lots of unemployed. Capital had no confidence and went on strike.

Hillary Clinton has to be kicking herself for not running. Who could expected such an incredibly weak slate of candidates. The front runner, Warren, is a psychopathic liar who won't get much in the way of contributions from big business. And, in spite of promising a trillion dollars to clean up racist pollution in black neighborhoods, blacks won't be rushing to the polls to vote for her, as they did Obama.

The Democrat-controlled House will deliver an impeachment before the election, in an attempt to tilt the election away from Trump, which could be just enough to have given Clinton the win.

Again, if the impeachment is actually carried out, it'll blow up in the Dems' faces as a huge waste of taxpayers' money, as the Senate won't come close to finding him guilty, even if every Dem senator votes "guilty". Remember, it takes 67 senators to vote "guilty" to convict!

The right-wing has a bad case of CDS(Clinton Derangement Syndrome). They just can't seem to get her out of their minds.
Those tracking politics even cursorily cannot help getting Hillary rubbed in their face. It's beyond ridiculous to blame everyone else for her presence on the scene, or for mentioning it.

And you yourself talk about her a lot to not even have her in mind--sounds like the equivalent of admitting your comments are mindless, so you might want to rethink that position.
