Clinton herself was polling better than Obama after it was obvious that she lost the nomination in 2008 and Republicans stopped attacking her.

This is the kind of attitude that might make her loose the election. Does she not know that this condescending tone just turns off Bernie voters from considering her?

So telling the obvious is condescending?
Good God, you Berniebots have a skin thinner that TRUMP's.

Hillary admittedly has a point. She's been the subject of attacks from the national GOP and conservative groups for almost 25 straight years without cease. Bernie has had a few afterthought swipes from commentators and candidates about being an avowed socialist. There woud be tremendous opportunity, material and resources to drive his negatives way up if the GOP needed to, but it knows it won't.


All it would take is a few months of truth telling and education on socialism  and Sanders would be McGovern 2.0

Hes 74 years old and never had a chance in hell to beat Hillary . 

This. Though his socialism would've damaged him far more than his age.

Or the fact that once he blamed cervical cancer on lack of orgasms.

The final two polls in that link both show her doing better. And that also overlaps with the mid May/late May/early June state polls I linked to that showed her doing better.

Sorry jfern, she was objectively polling better in the final few weeks of the race.

That's some serious cherry-picking. The last 2 have her doing 1 and 4 points better. The previous 2 have Obama doing 9 and 6 points better. The average of the May polls was a slight Obama advantage. There were some polls where she did better, and some where Obama did better, which is very different from now, where every poll shows Bernie doing better.

Even if we indulge you and accept your comically inaccurate premise, Obama had gone through Wright and bitter/cling and proven his mettle as a GE candidate.
Sanders hasn't faced 1$ worth of negative ads from both sides about how he wants to raise your taxes, take away your health care plan and the fact that he is an admirer of Fidel Castro.

P.S. And don't start me with your wild fantasies about David Brock and the "16 NEGATIVE STORIES PUBLISHED BY WASHINGTON POST".

Jfern reminds me of those Japanese soldiers in the Pacific that continued to fight 20 years after WWII had ended.

I've never heard of this, got a link?
I know there was that submarine commander who was told to go on a suicide mission in England the day before the war ended and instead hid under water for two months to go try to defect to Argentina, and when he came up he still thought the war was on.  There were also some Nazis trying to set up a secret base in the arctic who lost radio contact, didn't know the war had ended, and were discovered by seal hunters six months after the war ended.

So really, if anything, Hillary and the DNC have been relatively magnanimous and exceedingly kind.

How can you be that tone deaf?

In your obsessed mind Hillary could say that the sun will rise from the east and you would find it tone-deaf.
