5. "THAT number includes ppl who likely won't vote for a Dem." In response to Reply # 4 Tue Apr-14-15 07:12 AM by SoWhat
better numbers appeared later in the article:
"By political party, the numbers are not surprising:
94% of Republicans want a candidate who will change most of Obama’s policies;
77% of Democrats want a candidate who will keep most of Obama’s polices while 22% side with the poll respondents from the GOP."
so, the majority of ppl who responded who also indicated they're Democrats want a candidate who will keep Prez O's policies. which means based on this poll, Hillary would be wise not to distance herself from Obama chasing after votes she can't win b/c in the process she may lose votes she NEEDS in order to win.
IMO it'd be foolish of her to do what the Dems did in the midterms. instead she should turn hard to the left and stay there. fuck the moderates and the undecideds. go after the base. shore up the base. force the undecideds to make a fucking choice between the 2 parties. she should NOT position herself as a Democrat that even Republicans will like. b/c by doing that she will likely turn off many Democrats who will stay at home rather than vote for her or some Republican, let alone a 3rd party candidate.
6. "I hear you but Hill ain't losing no Dems to the Republicans" In response to Reply # 5
So she is going to try from the gate to be a general election candidate while the republican will have to spend some time rallying the base. That could hurt the republican in the national election but the bad scenario for Hill is that she fails to rally her base and has an enthusiasm gap on election day.
I was just suprised that a majority of all voters and even 22% of dems would vote to change BHO policies.

i think she should run as a primary candidate. she should spend most if not all of her campaign courting Democrats.
That could hurt the republican in the >national election but the bad scenario for Hill is that she >fails to rally her base and has an enthusiasm gap on election >day.
that's part of what i'm saying. she should run like a primary candidate and not even worry much about what the GOP is doing or saying.
>I was just suprised that a majority of all voters and even 22% >of dems would vote to change BHO policies.
that 22% can likely be swayed. she can distance herself just enough to avoid turning off that 77% who still dig BHO's policies.
