    Some would say it’s the kiss of death. We’ll see.

    "Clinton is popular with women and key parts of the Democratic base and remains a fundraising draw who can help ensure Biden has the money to get his message out…”

    “Clinton’s role is only expected to grow in the new year, but for now, she is filling a space that at a later point in the campaign season former President Barack Obama will join. Obama’s habit is to plunge in closer to Election Day — a reality that rankles some Democratic strategists who say the party sorely needs him right now.”

        It doesn’t even matter. She will galvanize some Republicans that might otherwise not vote. That’s a problem. Let them sit out. Don’t rile them up by getting involved. I blame Hillary for Trump.

        She’s awful.

          I blame Hillary for Trump.

          She is directly to blame. Her strategy was to prop him up in the primaries, and America is paying for her bad decision still.

        I would guess her demo is college educated women. Could be wrong, though. Could be older suburban women. Maybe both.

          It’s financially comfortable yoga moms and other gentrifiers. Also some critically underinformed people who trust outlets like CNN and Politico as well as campaign ads implicitly.

      “Democratic Strategists” is an oxymoron. They haven’t done an intelligent thing since the 90’s. Obama actually happened in spite of the Democratic party.

      Honestly, Clinton is so politically irrelevant, I didn’t know she was involved in his campaign to begin with. Plus, she’s been wildly unpopular her whole career. How exactly does this hurt Biden? If anything, I’d think it’ll help him not to have any involvement with the Clintons

        She actually had good approval ratings as Secretary of State, for a bit. Helped that she didn’t have to talk to us hoi polloi in that position, which she is… not good at.

        She’s got some of the biggest coffers in DC, if you need to raise money for a political campaign she’s the Koch brothers for the Democrats.

        She’s been wildly unpopular with Republicans her entire career. Let’s not forget that she got more votes than Trump.
