Ahead of Debate, Clinton Lead Grows
Morning Consult ^ | 10/13/15 | Reid Wilson

Posted on 10/13/2015 10:09:38 AM PDT by BigEdLB

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton enters Tuesday’s first presidential debate with a significant lead over her rivals for the Democratic nomination, after seizing the offensive against her most aggressive critics — House Republicans.

According to Morning Consult’s most recent poll, Clinton leads the Democratic field with 54 percent of the vote, compared with 22 percent who say they will back Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). That’s a significant boost over last week, when Clinton led by 21 percentage points, 48 percent to 27 percent.

Snip

On the Republican side of the aisle, real estate magnate Donald Trump retains a wide lead over the rest of the field, with 34 percent of the vote. Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson clocks in second, at 20 percent, while former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) finishes at 9 percent.

Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina are tied with 5 percent apiece, just ahead of former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee’s (R) 4 percent.

Every day brings us closer to what I’m convinced will be a VERY UGLY time in what remains of America, the IDEA! The “progressives” (aka “communists”) will continue pushing until they provoke a reaction from those who still remember what freedom was. As was the case in 1775, the flash point will almost certainly be a thrust to seize private firearms and related items. It is then that we will see what their plans are for those MILLIONS OF ROUNDS of ammunition and thousands of weapons now in the hands of previously UNARMED bureaucracies.

Oh, did I mention that millions of brainwashed, Obama worshiping idiots — many of them your left leaning neighbors, friends and, yes, FAMILY MEMBERS, will join forces with the other side in “fingering” you as an “enemy of the new state” and help them hunt you down? These are the Quislings who, throughout history, have always been anxious to feed others to the tyrannical T-Rex of a despotic state in the moronic belief that the creature will no longer be hungry when it gets to them. These FOOLS forget that that creature is ALWAYS HUNGRY!

On the off chance that you are one of those Quislings, I’d urge you to contemplate the fate of one Ernst Rohm here http://www.historyinanhour.com/2010/11/28/ernst-rohm-summary/ You need only read the two short sentences at the top of that piece to understand that tyrants must eliminate those who might offer the slightest resistance to them.

As you contemplate what you’ve just read, remember that the most dangerous phrase in ANY language is “WHY, THAT COULD NEVER HAPPEN HERE!”

Look around. It already has!

In the words of cop Jimmy Malone in the thought provoking film “The Untouchables”, written by liberal turned conservative patriot David Mamet, “What are you prepared to do?”

All I am doing is post the weekly Morning Consult poll according to the rules of the forum. I am for Trump, and he did well in the poll. I loathe Hillary.

Name recognition ahead of the debate.

There may be 5 on the stage but the LIVs have only heard of two of them.
