Is Hillary the Democrat's Mitt Romney?

[AZ Progressive]

Or the 2016 John Kerry or Al Gore to a certain extent...

- Low likability
- Sold during the primaries mostly on the idea that they are the most electable and presidential
- Supporters not as passionate
- Both have problems looking authentic
- Both look like rich elitists that aren't in touch with the people

An article that supports this idea

1. Who exactly is the GOP's Obama?

[restorefreedom]

2. that is an excellent question

frighteningly, i think it could be rubio

[JoePhilly]

4. meh ... he's got the charisma of ...

... toast. He's been complaining about how tough the Senate is.

If he can't handle that, he's not going to be inspiring anyone.

[restorefreedom]

7. then lets not even get into cruz....

i hate to say it, but trump is pretty popular....

[JoePhilly]

13. Trump could really screw the GOP up.

Cruz is to fundie nuts to win ...

Trump speaks to the loudmouth RW base, so he could win their primary. But past that, he won't do as well as even Romney did. He'd never survive a debate with Clinton or Sanders.

19. sanders would crush him

easily and hillary would stay calm which would drive him beserk

but yes, he could get the nom and make things very interesting

[Control-Z]

5. Did you type that with

a straight face?

[restorefreedom]

6. why yes i did

when the question was asked, i was thinking, who is a young, well spoken, not super experienced senator who has the potential to capture attention and win the nom?

rubio came to mind. i am not equating the two, but rather wondering who could fill an obama like role in the gop

[Control-Z]

3. The two couldn't be less alike.

This is pure hogwash.

[HerbChestnut]

8. As far as their personalities and backstory? No. As candidates? Yes.

Romney was notorious for changing positions in order to benefit his campaign. Hillary is doing the same.

9. John Kerry redux

Full speed ahead towards the iceberg!

10. " O K "

EOM

[NorthCarolina]

11. Both are fiscal conservatives, except one can talk quasi-social liberal;

when it becomes politically convenient.

12. If only there was another Obama

14. This literally hit every one of your bullet points.

This crap has been written and rewritten by conservatives. They know there is a new club on "our side" that has the same objective as them.

21. That's a lot of broke clocks. Nt

15. Worse, you left out her low trustworthy numbers.

Her problem isn't just that she does not look authentic, she has a history of being dishonest.

The only hope we have of her winning is if the (R)s put up someone even worse than she is. The odds are that even is she does make it in, she will lose big in 2020 and hurt every (D) on every ticket in the country just when we need to take control of state governments before the next census and districts being redrawn.

[tecelote]

16. This.

November 4, 2008

Hillary 44%
Obama 22%

But what's real fun is to look at the trajectory:

17. Hillary is WELL liked by Democrats.

And she will fight the BS being lobbed her direction by the GOP.
