The rollout of Hillary Clinton’s new memoirs, Hard Choices, was not a resounding success for the former secretary of state. She stuck her foot in her mouth regarding her family’s vast fortune. She had trouble answering questions about her evolution on gay marriage. Critics, on the whole, found the book tired and shopworn.
Yet her poll numbers remain surprisingly solid. Surveys conducted by Quinnipiac University, Fox News, and Rasmussen Reports—all taken since the book’s release—show her with comfortable leads nationally over Rand Paul, Chris Christie, and Jeb Bush. A mid-July CNN poll shows her with generally strong favorable ratings, although not as positive as they were when she wrapped up her tenure at State. Even so, respondents said they thought her to be a “strong and decisive leader” who “generally agrees” with them on the issues, can “manage the government effectively,” and “cares about people” like them.
What lessons are there to draw from these numbers? The first, and probably most obvious, is the disconnect between the political class and the greater public. Clinton’s book rollout was a disaster among politicos and cable news obsessives, but people who do not dedicate inordinate time to politics and policy hardly seemed to notice. While this might be disappointing for conservatives, who would like to see Clinton’s numbers brought back to Earth, it is nevertheless a good reminder that what matters in the Beltway does not necessarily play in Peoria.

We are lost as a nation. A third world dictator could take this country over in a New York minute. Most of the voting population will vote for him/her because they are all too stupid to look things up

Americans love Hillary. They have no clue as to why, but they can’t get enough of her.
Vote For Hillary.
She DOES NOT have Brain Damage.
(Her husband said so)
Assuming she actually decides to run (if she doesn’t, the rats will nominate Occupy Wall Street founder Elizabeth Warren) the only way to defeat her is to have a Republican opponent who can talk passionately about core American principles, and is not afraid to take her on aggressively.
I can just imagine candidate Romney deferring to her because of being afraid to be accused of running a war on women.
Honestly, I think that Ted Cruz is the only chance to save this country, and even with him it’s no guarantee.
Obviously, the reputation of Herself, Madame Benghazi, the Cold & Joyless, is much better than her state of health. Herself is in the middle stages of alcoholic dementia, and the ravages on her body are beginning to tell. We do not have any kind of medical report on Herself, as this is a document probably classified even higher than the Current Occupant’s real birth certificate, but the prognosis cannot be very glowing.
But the we do have the evidence of our eyes, in the public appearances Herself makes, in which the unsteadiness and the sometimes incoherent statements are a matter of visual and audio record. And her physical appearance, though carefully staged (we never see a rear view, for example) still reveals heaviness about the face and much camouflage of bodily defects even from a full-on frontal view.
Herself is an old sickly woman.
What a parade of losers!
Not exactly a 'new' thought.
A rear view? Mercy!
Jeff Sessions is also very very strong
I’d like to see a head to head poll of
Hillary vs Ted Cruz
Hillary vs Sarah Palin
BS Article. Rights article on polls that prop up Hillary but doesn’t show the poll. Anyone knows having one candidate up against 4 or 5 names skewers the poll. Next talks about her being the most experience. Those are nothing but democratic communist talking points, with not a shred of truth. What experience. The first time she was in charge BENGHAZI was and is a total disaster which she royally screwed up to the max. The upcoming hearings chaired by Gowdy should put an exclamation point on that.
As I’ve said from the beginning ... it’s no longer a question of if she’s going to win.. it’s a matter of by how much. She’ll start with the obligatory bedrock guarantee of 260 EVs before the first vote is tabulated. After that, the contest is on for VA, OH, FL, MO, AR, NC ... all of which (minus MO and NC) Obama won in 2012.
The only factor that stops her is a major health event she and the “media” can’t cover up. That’s it in a nutshell.
The last two elections showed experience and qualifications don’t matter. She’s (purportedly) a woman, she’s a dem, and she’s a Clinton. Americans have deluded themselves into thinking the other factors are just details.
What I wonder about: how do we crack into that base of EVs that she’d start with - while not nominating a namby-pamby “go-along-to-get-along” candidate with a fake-moderate set of policies?
She, Bill, and their ticket’s running mate can camp-out in that small handful of states, playing the odds that they win the one or two needed to get to 270.. meanwhile, the GOP ticket must somehow nearly run the table. It’s nauseating.
