It's nice to be getting these kinds of stories again. I know it doesn't matter too much but it's always lovely to watch. You don't see ex-Democratic politicians coming out against Hillary much, do you?

Also, I'd note that Hillary being very popular with non-whites is actually super good for the party that relies heavily on a diverse coalition that hinges on non-white voters.

You've previously argued hard that Clinton's unfavorables means she shouldn't have been chosen and kept pointing at them as proof that she was One Of The Most Unpopular Candidates Ever. So if you still believe that then what you're saying is "white people's favorability is the one that matters."

They are the most important demographic politically, they're overwhelmingly the most populous and diverse in the United States. They're a solid majority of people, so while it's interesting and worth talking about, disapproval of Clinton driven by white people is still broad disapproval. It's not a "sham", it's a statistical reality.

Eh, I think that might reflect media consumption patterns by racial group in the 90's, as opposed to flat-out racism. There's a racial component to it, but flat-out attributing Clinton's unpopularity ratings to "racism" is a huge oversimplification.

That is absolutely true but it isn't what mcmagic argued before. I'm assuming his previous arguments still hold weight and he's not pulling a Trump and pretending he never said things.

It's not the only one that matters but it does matter a lot. You're talking about a huge portion of the electorate and those unfavorables are going to be a major reason why this is going to be a 2012 level win for her rather than a giant wave election which is what should be happening when she's running against Trump.

You didn't read the article then. The other main thrust of it was that Hillary was solidly popular until she began running for president, which the Republicans tried to nip in the bud in 2013 with the Benghazi "scandal", while Trump has always been consistently unpopular.

Plus, it's not representative of her being "totally unpopular with everyone" if she's only unpopular with white people, which SHOULD be common sense but apparently isn't.

In America if you're unpopular with white people you're unpopular with most of the electorate. That's just reality.

Except white people are historically not prone to voting Democrat. They went 72 to 39 for Romney. Even if Sanders was the nominee there's no reason to assume white men would suddenly flock to him in droves or that he wouldn't suffer low favorabilities with them. Maybe not AS low as Clinton but the argument that any Democrat could suddenly win all the white votes against Trump (whose strongest base are white men) is silly.

This is true. Having lower unfavorables than Clinton would not, in and of itself, guarantee a higher turnout for her at the polls.
