Most voters really dislike and distrust her.
A lot!
Hillary would make an excellent candidate for President.
If you don't want to win against Trump.

From Truman's wiki page:
This dissatisfaction with the Truman administration's policies led to large Democratic losses in the 1946 midterm elections, when Republicans took control of Congress for the first time since 1930. The 80th Congress included Republican freshmen who would become prominent in the years to come, including Wisconsin Senator Joe McCarthy and California Congressman Richard Nixon. When Truman dropped to 32% in the polls, Democratic Arkansas Senator William Fulbright suggested that Truman resign; the President said that he did not care what Senator "Halfbright" said.[92][93] (Emphasis added for Jimmie)

(15,805 posts)Now I get it, you want Hillary to drop out because that's the only way Sanders can win... what a diabolically genius idea!
Here's the flaw(s):
If it were true that, "voters really dislike and distrust her", the Sanders would have this whole thing sewed up and cruisin' toward an undisputed victory dance. Since he's still stuck in 2d place limbo, that means more voters -- a lot! -- are picking her.
That means most voters really don't like Sanders and they don't want to elect him.
A lot!

(15,805 posts)You Sanders people have convinced yourselves that everything is rigged, so don't leave out polls, they're just as suspect as all the other paranoid chicanery that you imagine.
That said, the acrimony we're seeing now with Sanders and his people might very well put Trump in office. Since Sanders can't, or won't, rein in his more combative troops, and even warns that he is prepared for a fight at the convention. His clear shots at Clinton could seriously hurt our chances in November. That would really be a tragedy.
