    Exactly. Democrats are falling in line and that’s to be expected. They already voted for her as VP, so they should have no objection to her as President.

    But independents and swing voters should still be undecided on her. Some might lean slightly towards her because she is younger and not a senile fascist, but overall, it should not be expected that they will support her at this stage.

    Polling in September will be more accurate.

      I refuse to believe there’s any swing voters in this election. Absolutely no one is 50/50 on Trump. The media just loves to parrot old talking points without any evidence these people actually exist. Stats are so easily fungible that you can make them say anything you want.

        There are plenty of people who have not learned or choose not to learn the details of Trump’s escapades.

          Do you have any evidence to support that?

          That’s precisely the media talking point I’m debunking. Either you watch Fox News or you don’t.

        I don’t think anyone that will vote for trump will turn but I do think that there are people that won’t vote that can be convinced to vote.

      Well, I personally have some objections, as anyone should for any politician, but nothing that would prevent me from supporting her.

        I accepted after Obama that every President is going to do things I find reprehensible. It’s hard because I strongly believe in doing the right thing even if there is a cost. But as President you have to balance one kind of harm against another, sometimes using knowledge so secret you can’t justify your decision to the public.

        It becomes an act is faith that they are making the best choices they can, while also acknowledging the reality that they are human and will get it wrong sometimes.

        I have to say, though, that running against Trump makes supporting flawed actual humans so much easier.
