Can Hillary win in November?

Washington

IN the aftermath of their super victories in the Super Tuesday primaries and a few others thereafter, a general presidential election matchup in November between the two winners, Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump, seems to be very likely, and depending on your perspective, a very troubling or exciting development.

If you own a television network, you certainly should welcome such a scenario. After all, one would expect the first televised debate between the Donald and Hillary, two celebrities with enormous star appeal, to draw huge worldwide viewership. Television ratings for such a political drama - expected to involve an exchange of political attacks and personal insults - would probably be higher than for the Academy Awards ceremony.
