    As a European I am very impressed by her, I think it would benefit Americans greatly to go more in her direction and less Republican.

      Oh for sure. Honestly, it would be great if she was the first woman President one day. I’d campaign as hard as I could to get her elected. A perfect blend of strong moral principles and quick wit.

      We can write off the vast majority of the Republicans from ever supporting her, but that’s a given no matter who Democrats nominate. There thus remains two further problems:

      • The right-wing propaganda machine smearing her (and thereby influencing the independent/centrist/moderate swing-voters who have a frequency to be… Susceptible to misinformation currents).
      • And internal division among the Democratic coalition who believe ShE iSn’T EleCtABlE because she doesn’t water down her positions to the point failure and to appeal to ignorance for a group of people who will never vote for her anyway. (In this respect, I think the biggest hurdle for a progressive will always be the Democratic Primary and not the General election).
