A crowd of several hundred cheered Wednesday outside the
Capitol for Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernard Sanders, as he took the stage to demand a $15 national minimum wage and as he took the stage to demand a $15 national minimum wage and chided President Obama for paying “starvation wages” to federal workers.
Mr. Sanders, the Vermont independent and avowed socialist who has emerged as her chief Democratic rival, actually fares better than Mrs. Clinton against Mr. Rubio and Mr. Bush in Iowa and better than her against Mr. Walker in Colorado.
Mrs. Clinton continues to enjoy a commanding lead in most primary polls and remains the odds-on favorite to win the nomination, but she still gets one-upped on nearly every issue.
Mrs. Clinton steered her campaign sharply to the left last week with a speech outlining an economic agenda that promised higher taxes on the rich and bigger paychecks for everybody else, which she would accomplish with more federal mandates and increased government spending.

It’s a herculean task to keep a presidential candidate under wraps on the one hand and to simultaneously showcase her on the widest possible controllable scale on the other hand.
Right about now, I’d guess her handlers are having nightmares about her getting up on a debate stage where her exposure can’t be choreographed and scripted. Age and other debilities have not fared her very well.
There are two options here for debates: 1) spend all their time selecting the moderators, their questions and control of her opponents’ questions and responses, or 2) she ‘suddenly’ turns out to be diagnosed hearing impaired and sports a new “hearing aid” during the debate. Take your pick; either one is keeping her handlers up and edgy all night long - every night.
Clinton can’t pass the smell test. She laundered bribes through her phony foundation and Bill’s highly paid boring speeches while she held high office. Eventually she will be forced to drop out. Also her Democratic opponents will soon be releasing documentation of her lesbianism and alcoholism.
Bernie Sanders is the key to a Trump Presidency IMHO.
And I do believe she can be beaten in her own party. But it will take more than just Sanders. So far, that’s the only real opposition.
No doubt.
Now that Trump is tipping his hand on his plans to run 3rd party, it’s clear Hillary as absolutely nothing to worry about.
Goodbye wife of the rapist. Go home and wait there for your INDICTMENTS!

I’d heard nothing about that. He has no reason to go third party. If he does, we all need to be on the same page- drop him like a hot potato and IMMEDIATELY pivot to the next “highest ranked” Conservative candidate on the list- Cruz, Walker, whoever. In the mean time, I think we need Sanders polling much better.
Hell, her campaign probably will. It'll be a badge of honer for all the moronic millenials.
Imagine the utter HELL it must be for her aides to be around that bitch!
Ha! Ha! Ha!
She is insulated on those angles because her booze and bimbos have been reported in the Tabloids since Slick Willie was in office.
It’s not really a revelation at this point.
Be careful what you wish for. HRC is extremely vulnerable. Any of our candidates will offer a fresh energetic face vs the Hillderbeast...except Jebby Boy.
I fear the fresh faced young surprise mocha colored Spanish speaking rainbow flag waving unknown replacement, who can be hoisted high by a desperate slavish media.
The witch is melting. I hope she doesnt puddle up too quickly.
I am sure her handlers are not at all worried about her in the debates. It’s why God made Candy Crowley.
>>> Mrs. Clinton continues to enjoy a commanding lead in most primary polls and remains the odds-on favorite ......
Media will work triple overtime to continue propping up Hillary. Sanders is not the same as 2008 Obama, not many media type will fall under his spell.
We will see even more humanized Hillary, maybe she’ll shed some tears truly this time (last time she just showed some misty eyes), even more polls miraculously showed Hillary recover her poll numbers, and of course out left the socialist Sanders.
The last part is no problem for Hillary really, as she drank leftist milk since she’s a young woman and that was a loooooooong time ago.
I think many in the GOPe would support Hillary over Trump and/or Cruz. I know a lot of rich Democrats that would be very disinclined to vote for a man promising the kind of tax policy that Sanders is promising. He’s a nightmare for a lot of people. Hillary is who the GOPe wants and who the Democrats want. Sanderts is an enemy to all of them. Enemy of my enemy and all that.
