------------------------
Clearly he has no shot in the general election, because we all know that polls 6 months out have iron clad accuracy...

1. Hillary Clinton is incompetent. Her campaign is a fucking disaster movie.

She squandered every advantage she had.

She is not qualified to handle a large organization muh less run this country.

[MonkeyFunk]

5. How is coming as close as she has

"a fucking disaster movie"? I don't get it. She's run a tough campaign and has come very close to victory. If she loses, she'll have lost narrowly. How is that a disaster?

[Renew Deal]

9. Because she was supposed to win big.

:shrug:

[CTLawGuy]

10. becuase of what she squandered

extremely famous last name,
army of syncophants,
allegiance of powerful big Dem donors,
"home" state with lots of delegates,
opponent = black man whose middle name is HUSSEIN.

[SoonerPride]

12. She started a mile race 1/4 mile ahead of the pack.

And lost.

She had the name, the machine, the money, and hell even 200 or so super delegates in her pocket at he start of the race.

And yet she lost??

Her gross incompetence running this organizaton should give anyone pause in letting her head ANYTHING as she has shown herself incapable of handling the job.

This is a train wreck of monumental proportions that will be studied for years to come as one of the most inconceivable implosions in political history.

EVERYONE said the nomination was hers. It was a freaking cake-walk coronation and she and her team BLEW IT!

That is a disaster movie.

[John Q. Citizen]

14. The third Reich came very close to taking over all of Europe. It was a disaster by any

metric you choose.

"All for the want of a nail..."

You are also aware that just because the Clinton campaign keeps repeating over and over how close it is doesn't actually make it so. If you look at all the political futures markets, the Clinton Campaign has been way down since super Tuesday.

I think that's a much more objective and reliable source for how close things are than the Clinton campaign's daily conference calls.

I realize that as a true partisan, you have trouble seeing this.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

15. Because she was supposed to be the inevitable nominee.

Though I wouldn't call her campaign a full-fledged "disaster," especially since she did rack up some impressive wins, but the fact that she went from inevitable to second place is very telling.

[SoonerPride]

17. She raised more money than any other candidate in history (save Obama)

and is STILL in debt to the tune of $25 million?

That is a disaster sized squandering of a titanic wad of cash.

Disaster is exactly the word I'd use.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

23. In terms of money management and hiring personnel, yes.

But in terms of the end results, she did do quite well a lot of the time.

[SoonerPride]

26. Of course she did. She carried my state by a wide margin.

She still has the name, lots of money (even if it is borrowed at this point)and a very well oiled machine from the 90s to rely on.

But the fact that she lost AND is in massive debt points to gross incompetence in my book.

I voted for her BTW.

Her mismangement really shocked me and opened my eyes as to what a Hillary as President miht look like, and it ain't a pretty sight.

[Occam Bandage]

16. Last year, the New York Mets came very close to victory, lost by one game, and ran a tough schedule.

Their collapse was one of the biggest disasters in baseball history. They had a seven-game lead with 17 to go; they ended up losing 12 of 17 (and 6 of the last 7) and missing the postseason by a single game.

Disasters ain't defined by how close you came to winning. They're how far you've fallen.

[SoonerPride]

19. Exactly. Nice analogy.

Poor Mets

:)

[muryan]

18. Its a disaster because she squandered huge early leads

by running a bad campaign in many states. I don't fault her for this, I fault her campaign for its inability to adapt to what Obama was doing.

[SoonerPride]

22. But she HEADS her team. So the buck stops with HER.

You can't blame McAwful or Penn or Wolfson or even Bill for her troubles.

SHE is in charge of HER team.

To say otherwise is sexist (it implies girls don't really run the operation).

[Zachstar]

25. Lets say Obama was Island military nation A and Clinton was B

Nation B has a HUGE military and because of an assured win they do little in the way of tactics. They send their tanks in straight lines and party so much the front lines are drunk.

And they got their rear ends handed to them...

Clinton HAD the ability to CRUSH Obama but she expected it to be over at MOST Super Tuesday.

[SoonerPride]

27. Or the tortoise and the hare analogy works too.

Slow and steady wins the race.

They sprinted out to a lead and lost sight of what the hell was going on and got passed and then could never catch up.

[ladjf]

20. My opinion is that she has been promoted to a level beyond

her natural capabilities.

[KingFlorez]

21. People win, people lose

Losing doesn't make a person incompetent, in politics you can't always win.

[SoonerPride]

24. Had everyone started on a level playing field, you would be right.

But she started with so many built-in tactical advatanges that her loss is more than anyone else in the field's loss, it is a titanic-esque disaster.

She was the ship who couldn't sink.

And she sunk anyways.

[Egnever]

2. Thats what I have been trying to tell you guys forever now!

He has no shot! Polls dont lie!

[Occam Bandage]

3. Wow. It's always great to see just how incompetent HRC's campaign was. She

could turn gold into shit just by bringing it to a rally.

[TexasObserver]

4. Hillary to write a new book: How to Have a Million Dollars.

Chapter One - Start with Ten Million Dollars

[SoonerPride]

13. LOL

:rofl:

[cliffordu]

28. ROFL....

:rofl:

[wowimthere]

6. Well done... Exactly my sentiment.

[book_worm]

7. She has run a bad campaign-period.

[gristy]

8. I don't get it. Why the focus on 6-month old polls?

[CTLawGuy]

11. look around for "Obama can't win the general election"

threads also looking at polls, today's polls, i.e. 6 months from the general election.
