Hillary's poll numbers are collapsing

Well, that didn't take as long as expected.

In just the past month, when no one with a real life was thinking about the 2016 presidential race, Hillary Clinton's massive poll lead over every single potential Republican opponent has collapsed.

In a hypothetical match-up, her margin over Jeb Bush, the closest GOP president, was cut in half to eight points this month, 45%-37%, according to Zogby. That's down from a whopping 15-point lead in December. Similarly, the former first lady's 15-point margin over Mitt Romney slid to nine points, 46%-37%. Still sizable margins, to be sure. But trending uncomfortably in the wrong direction even before an announcement, as Clinton goes to ground to plot her campaign, assemble staff and devise a credible rationale other than gender for why Americans should let her move back into the White House, this time in the West Wing.

The Witch (not "bitch," out of respect for female dogs) is coming across more and more as a tired, corrupt, overweight old woman in marginal health, with minimal real accomplishments. That's quite a contrast with a dynamic young governor who's turned his star around and is sitting on a thrown made of the skulls of his enemies.

The Hillabeast is so very typical of lib female politicians...no accomplishments, boinked a rich or famous guy to gain visability, awful personality, and an IQ below Dorkbama (if that is even possible).

Sorry, libs, but I’d take Sarah Palin over ANY of your grifter-wench idiotesses.

I never saw her as a strong contender. She was benefiting from the out of office lift that nearly all politicians get when out of office. The reality is she is a deeply flawed candidate with a truck load of baggage. We will also see the numbers for Jeb Bush collapse for the same reason though he doesn’t have as much baggage but he is a Bush.

Until wannabes actually announce their candidacy, the daily/hourly polls are meaningless. But, the polsters have been running them since midnight of the last presidential election.

Polsters create their own job security and the media eats it up. Need some ‘news’ on a slow news day? Commission a quick poll and run the results as headlines.

I was kind of hoping she would hang in there. Now they can slip in another crypto-Marxist with minimal accomplishments and some public speaking skills.

What were her achievements when she was the carpet-bagging senator from New York? Any important bills get passed because of her? Anything at all?

I hate to keep pounding on my Obama 2016 Conspiracy Theory but, you know, I just can’t help it.

Here goes:

1. Obama does not want Hillary to be the nominee. Too independent. Too much risk to his “legacy”. Too much “Bill” and way too much “return to the last good Dem Presidency”. But mostly “No Clinton Loyalty to Obama”.

2. So Obama has to make his choice. He may have done that already. But we don’t, at this point, know who it is.

3. Whoever he chooses will have to be somewhat covertly promoted. Will the MSM go along? I’m thinking so but the loyalty to Hillary is still very strong. We need to watch for signs of the NYT, WP, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBS, CNN and the like digging at Hillary. That will be the giveaway that it is game on.

4. My guess: This will all be clear to Freepers by mid-2015. The rest of the world will have to wait a bit longer.

“...a tired, corrupt, overweight old woman in marginal health, with minimal real accomplishments...”

You forgot, that boat anchor around her neck... her ‘husband’!

How two people with THAT much crud associated with them individually and with their ‘careers’ can even SHOW their faces in public much less run for public office is BEYOND me!!

The important number is how they are collapsing within the Democrat Party.

Because that party has moved 11 steps to the left since her husband was POTUS. She is now too establishment for them.

The stupid burns.

This will all be clear to Freepers by mid-2015.

My money is on Squaw Warren. Joe Biden would be a very distant 2nd.

There are a few of these on the bumpers of Seattle Subarus.
We were there just a few weeks ago.

Everyone needs to email Bernie Sanders and tell him to run, as an independent if he has to!

That old communist would force Hildabeast farrrrr out in left field.
