“Who sucks less?”
That’s how former Senator Bob Kerrey says most Americans view the choice between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. And a poll by The New York Times last week bears him out.
Trump’s troubles: He is viewed unfavorably by 60 percent of women, 65 percent of voters age 18-29 and 68 percent of non-white voters.
Clinton’s problems are like a photographic negative of Trump’s: She is viewed unfavorably by 63 percent of whites and 58 percent of men.
That said, Democrats shouldn’t panic as polls show the race getting tighter. Clinton has a big advantage if she keeps this simple: She is competent to be President; Trump isn’t. By knowledge, experience and temperament, she is better qualified.
Which leads to a bigger advantage for her: A President can get us into a war. Trump is dangerous, and Hillary isn’t.
Keep this thing simple. And keep Trump talking. He can get his negatives a lot higher.
His act played well when he was running against a host of hapless foes. Now he faces a single tough, smart, battle-hardened opponent – one who has the wit and will to confront him the way Low-Energy Jeb, Little Marco and Lying Ted couldn’t.
And face it: We’re all just waiting for the debates.
