What Great Accomplishment Can Hillary Tout As Reason To Be President

Should Hillary Clinton argue that supporting Trump is "shameful"?

Shame is a huge part of the Democrat Patty platform. Obama and Clinton are Shamist, as are most of the people claiming to be Democrats.They believe that the US has been on the wrong side of history on most things, and that we should all be ashamed of our nation's accomplishments.Think of something like Reverend Wright's comments about “chickens coming home to roost” in regards to the 9/11 attacks. Democrats blame America first, and are ready to kowtow and apologize to the world.Domestic issues like the treatment of Native Americans, slavery, immigration, incarceration, women's issues, etc… They tout these things and the historic events surrounding them as instances “white people/white men” should all be ashamed of - but mostly as rallying points to consolidate voting blocks.They see all of our past foreign wars and conflicts as overly aggressive attacks, forcing our way of thinking on weaker cultures. They feel the same about our economic success and power as well.Their goal, as demonstrated by 8 years of the Obama administration, is to weaken the US on the globals stage. Foreign policy is obviously part of this, but weakening the nation domestically aids in this endeavor.So I'm SURE HRC will use shame as part of her attacks against Trump. “He's a WHITE MAN, and all white men should be ashamed of the things white men have done throughout history.” “He can never understand “our” suffering…”.

Given Hillary Clinton's past, why should Americans trust that the policy positions she is advertising will be what she fights for as president?

Obviously they shouldn’t. People are frequently asking what Hillary can do to earn the support of Sanders supporters and convince people she is trustworthy. The answer is…. NOTHING.You can’t talk your way out of a situation you behaved yourself into!The Clintons are career criminals with a long history of scandals that they merely faced fines and penalties for when they should have gone to jail. They didn’t because of privilege and corruption.To anyone with common sense, seeing the same names in politics pop up over and over again is completely absurd, even if the people involved do not have a long history of scandal and included a president who was IMPEACHED. Why? Because there are over 300 million people in the US. Of those, many are brilliant hardworking people. The only way the same names could come up over and over is through nepotism and corruption.But to the question, she got busted hardcore doing the opposite of what she said she was going to do during her 2008 campaign when her emails were released and it turned out she was supporting disastrous trade deals behind the scenes.That’s it. That was her once chance and she blew it. No she doesn’t get to be president because she is a female, or because it’s her turn, or because she kissed the right butt. WE ELECT THE PRESIDENT NOT DNC PARTY ELITES.The DNC doesn’t even have the right to be a sponsored party anymore after the media blackout Sanders faced.Those emails also pointed to a long list of other hideous behaviors completely out of sync with her 2008 and 2016 campaign promises.She violated the trust and can never be trusted again.

Why would Bernie Sanders make a good president?

I see several comments here as to Bernie does not understand economics. That it is crazy to promise free public education or socialized medicine.I have to shake my head about how brain washed our country has become. Look at the military budget, or the money we spend invading other countries, or supporting regimes so our corporations can steal the natural resources of those countries. There is PLENTY OF MONEY to pay for Bernie’s programs, put infrastructure projects in place, and extend social programs. It will certainly take a leader willing to fight, and that is what Bernie is.I also see people saying that we haven’t seen his thought processes on how he would handle a crisis, or question his judgment.Again, I wonder how can people think that when there are countless videos showing him taking leadership positions that have proven to be correct over time., such as:Invasion of IraqSame sex marriagesLiving wageSingle payer health insuranceLegalization of marijuana and restructuring of our for profit prison slave camps/prisons.Bernie has shown something no other politician has shown—vision and the guts to fight for his causes. Of course, there is also the integrity, intelligence, etc.The only worry I have is that he may be too old to run—and that is truly a shame. I can only hope someone like Joe Kennedy or Tulsi Gabbard can follow in his footsteps.

Why does Clinton continue to run negative ads against Trump when his favorables are already super low? Why doesn’t she focus on moving her own favorables up?

The aim of negative ads is not to change the votes of swing voters. Indeed, winning over swing voters is actually of limited and diminishing utility in presidential elections these days. Instead, the dynamics of winning and losing are about turnout: get your supporters out, get your opponents supporters to stay home. That’s the point of the negative ads: get people who generally vote R to not even bother voting. And they work; it’s been demonstrated so many times there isn’t any uncertainly left: negative ads increase your chances of winning a binary election, far more than positive ones. Candidates who don’t use them, don’t win.Hillary *IS* trying to move her favorables up, but not among Trump supporters. Those people are never going to vote for her, no matter what. Instead, she is trying to motivate the uninspired among the democratic base, to get as strong a turnout as Obama got. That’s why the president is campaigning so hard for a strong turnout; he said recently that it would be an “insult to his legacy” if progressives, and especially the black community, did not turn out to vote in force. That’s powerful rhetoric, but you won’t see it on tv stations in Kansas; it’s the kind of message that is targeted at a specific class of voter, and people outside that class are unlikely to see much of that type of campaigning (contemporary media is amazingly customized, so most of us tend to see only ads that align with our politics).
