So.. I'm wondering.. Are Republicans DONE thumbing their noses at the RNC and the establishment by courting unelectable candidates? Will they wake up in time to realize that they are in for one hellava threat from Clinton.. who by the way is likely the next President unless a more "grown up" candidate takes hold..? Seriously.. Hillary will mop the floor with Trump.. and certainly Carson. As a staunch Democrat.. I'm happy for the entertainment.. but the GOP voters better wake up soon... or they will find themselves with ANOTHER 8 years of a Dem in the WH.. and very likely back in the minority in the Senate, because it's going to be very difficult for them to hold it with 26 seats at stake.. but that's for another post..

A virulent strain of Clinton Derangement Syndrome, which scientists and Republicans thought had been wiped out at the end of the last century, is now afflicting millions of conservative Americans. Some Republicans so detest Hillary Clinton they are badly underestimating how likely she is, at this point in the campaign, to be America’s 45[SUP]th[/SUP] president. Their denial is just as strong now as it was a month ago, before Clinton began a run of political victories that have enhanced her prospects, all while the roller derby/demolition derby that is the Republican nomination contest has continued to harm the GOP’s chances of winning back the White House.
Heres why:
Hillary has shown she can handle Bernie Sanders, despite his plucky persona, raw grassroots appeal, and authentic authenticity.
Bernie has shown he doesn’t quite understand how to play big moments in the big leagues.
Hillary is getting better at managing (and shaking off) the personal pang of her likability deficit.
Biden’s withdrawal means Clinton will lock up even more commitments from the Democratic establishment, giving her even more super delegates and making it easier to bounce back if Sanders wins Iowa, New Hampshire, or both.
Hillary has massive support from labor unions.
Hillary could be the de facto Democratic nominee by Feb. 8.
Hillary’s husband now seems fired up and ready to go.
Hillary’s campaign is much less tense and fractious than was the 2008 team.
Hillary’s team at last is convincing rich Democrats to come around to the super-PAC game.
Hillary has a first-class opposition research team that is saving nuggets to use once Republicans pick their nominee.
The Republican nominee is more likely to emerge bloodied, broke, and behind
As the nominee, Hillary will effectively control the DNC and will exercise free rein over the convention
Republicans are erroneously convinced they can beat Clinton solely with talk of Benghazi, e-mails, and other controversies that have nothing to do with the economy and the real lives of real people.
Hillary is ready for the debates.
Hillary’s pollster knows how to find issues that test 80-20 or 70-30, and the candidate knows how to translate them on the stump.
Obama’s approval rating is holding at a level that would make Clinton’s path much easier.
Hillary’s team is already thinking about general election targeting.
Hillary would inherit a considerable demographic edge in a general election.
Hillary would also inherit a considerable Electoral College edge in a general election.
