I don't agree with that at all. Obama has been a total failure and that's widely understood, so for all the screaming and name-calling by the apologists for the White House, a majority of Americans know better.If the election is an up or down on foreign policy, you will find that your position is a minority one.
Hillary is the very best person [apart from perhaps Sanders] to be president, and she will be elected as such in November,
the fact that Trump is running for the republicans means that the democrats will be in control of both houses come November.

Were it not for voters who support Obama for other reasons, and therefore feel obligated to defend him against any criticism on any subject at all, hardly anyone would think his foreign policy has been successful.
Again, it couldn't be worse than under the current president
and many voters are aware that the "Chicken Little/sky's gonna fall" line is coming from people who make that charge against ANYONE that the Republicans might put up. It lacks credibility IOW.
Yet if the rust belt shifts to Trump, as some polls indicate, the nightmare will become reality. Clinton irrespective of the email scandal, Benghazi and all that rubbish, is not exactly the dream candidate, in what if the primaries are anything to go by, an anti-establishment year.
I would agree with this...for all the momentum the DNC should be gaining off of Trump's big mouth, they negate half of it by not listening to their own voter base by continuing to push Hillary when the people are crying out for Sanders.
This is interesting.
I would view this in the opposite way. Hillary Clinton had almost no chance against Kasich, Rubio and perhaps others because of her low favorables and her personal trust issues. Making Trump as the nominee makes the unfavorables and the personal trust issue an issue that cuts both ways and likely balances out.
Kasich would have been more difficult but Rubio always seemed like a feather weight to me.
The super rich and the warmongers love him.I'm sorry but I am going to have to leave it there if you honestly think that because Barack Obama will go down as one of the best Presidents the US has ever had.
I will not be responding to anymore of your posts.

Problem is that the Dems don't have a single 'base.' Young people are supporting Sanders while minorities support Clinton.
I was speaking in terms of their overall base. I realize there are different pockets that have different favorites, but in terms of the overall cumulative support numbers, the super-delegate (and regular delegate numbers) are out of line with the opinions of the people...where "the rubber meets the road" so to speak.
...and while I'm not a democrat, I must say, I haven't seen anyone else get such large number of people excited and interested in politics like Sanders has during his campaign. Yet, if you look at the Super delegate count, Hillary is beating him by a ratio of more than 13:1.
And he polls better against Trump than Hillary does:
- CNN/ORC: Clinton wins 47.3 to 40.8
- IBD/TIPP: Clinton wins 47 to 40
- USA Today/Suffolk: Clinton wins 50 to 39
- GWU/Battleground: Clinton wins 46 to 43
- Fox News: Clinton wins 48 to 31
- CNN/ORC: Sanders wins 52.2 to 38.8
- IBC/TIPP: Sanders wins 56 to 40
- USA Today/Suffolk: Sanders wins 52 to 37
- GWU/Battleground: Sanders wins 50 to 40
- Fox News: Sanders wins 53 to 39
The DNC clearly has the game rigged in her favor...
I think it is but what do you think?
I don't think most Dems felt that way about McCain or Romney.
Maybe not, but alot of them seemed to talk as though they did. It's costing them credibility when they talk that way about Trump.
What are the American people doing about that? I thought the US was a free democratic country, how can it be if it's been doctored to suit one side over the other? or is freedom just another delusion the majority of Americans suffer from? I guess for most Americans 'freedom' is just another word, but they can take some comfort from the fact that they will always have the chant USA,USA,USA to fall back on.Unlikely. The Dems might get the Senate but right now the Congressional Districts are so gerrymandered it is virtually impossible for Dems to get back in control of the House.
Last night I watched the movie *All the Way* on LBJ's election and the passing of the Civil Rights Act. I was reminded what an outstanding statesman Evert Dirksen was. I had forgotten all about him! (Okay, I was only 13 when he died.) Whatever happened to these kind of Republicans?
