It's not about the public as a whole so much.

The thing is Hillary *needs* huge turnout from women to beat Trump. She 100% needs it. And this is absolutely going to hurt her with women. Hugely. Both in terms of the issue itself, but also because it provides a ready-made response any time she tries to campaign on the basis of gender. It's bad enough that it's going to hurt her with young committed feminist women - because believe me, they are going to listen to the attack here - but the bigger issue is that it hamstrings her campaign hugely on a major issue that she both should own and needs to own. And I have zero faith in Hillary's team being able to own an answer to this, narrative-wise.

On the other hand Bernie's also going to have a major women problem if he somehow manages to win out over Hillary. Count on it. So either way it's going to be a major issue, especially since the Republicans are definitely going to nominate a woman VP candidate to go along with Trump.

It's a huge, huge, huge Achilles heel. It is a major, crippling weakness in the single most key group for defeating Trump. Which was already going to be far from a given.

We are fucked fucked fucked.

Wait, so you think Hillary is going to beat Bernie in the primaries?

Because I'm not even sure about that. And I'm even less certain Trump is going to get through his primaries. Again, the ten months out ahead of us leaves plenty of time for things to go haywire. Thinking the election's over when the primaries aren't even finished is just silly.

I'd say 80% chance that Hillary is going to beat Bernie (this news probably brought it down from 90% chance). She is - at the moment, according to most polls - the preferred choice of Democratic voters by a substantial amount.

I think Trump is the most likely victor in the Republican primary. The main path I can see where he doesn't win is if he both does much worse than expected in the Iowa caucuses (like, finishing third or fourth), and establishment candidates start dropping off really quickly after Iowa. He polls really well in New Hampshire, South Carolina, and the Super Tuesday states, and the rest of the field is just so completely split - which matters a lot when you start talking about delegate counts. It's far from a certainty but he has to be considered the favorite.

And, yeah, it's a long way about, but there are still fundamentals to look at, and they're starting to look really, really worrying.

Oh man, I am either in the completely wrong part of the internet or just not reading the data right, because I thought Bernie was far more popular than Hillary and that Trump would take one of the unsuccessful Republican candidates as VP (Carson, I think?) in order to pool votes. It's actually heartening to hear Hillary is popular in the polls -- I voted for her in 2008 primary after all! But, I mean, on a human level, she just always looks so tired -- and stepping down from Secretary of State was still such a shock for me.

But I'll admit I'm not too concerned about the presidential race at the moment, more concerned with Congress (esp. House of Representatives) and starting to feel sorry for Obama, whose lame duckness kicked in waayyy too early. D:
