Hillary will probably win. She, more than anyone else running, represents what this country has become, and where it is going.

Dylan sure doesn’t think much of AMERICANS, does he? He thinks we’re all commie loving freeloaders.

In the 2000 election, even after 8 years of the impeached pervert, a majority of those who could be bothered to get off their asses and vote for president chose to vote for a communist.

Barry Hussein was elected TWICE by a majority of those who could be bothered to get off their asses and vote.

Wow. You’d think dems took the house and senate last year if you go by this article.

The pro-Hitlery media, also, sucks at the teat of their goddess. That helps her tremendously.

This article is a class A exhibit.

It’s the media’s election, and they don’t intend to lose.

In "country" logic terms, that's called shucking it down to the cob. I think you're right on point and the Pubbie candidate that understands that earliest will be able to counter it best. I think Cruz has already figured that out and struck early blows.

“It’s the media’s election, and they don’t intend to lose.”

What you said.

Some of you same people who are gung ho for Ted Cruz or Scott Walker are some of the same ones who think Hillary is unbeatable.

For the record:

1) I support Ted Cruz for President.

2) Hillary is thoroughly beatable ... but only by a conservative/constitutionalist. One who actually believes and can easily, comfortably, convincingly articulate conservative and constitutional thought and policies.

3) A squish like Jeb Bush WILL LOSE. Squishy moderate Republicans are not electable, as President Romney can assure you.

Clinton will start — start — with a minimum 247 of the 270 electoral votes she needs to win.

Not all of those states are locks for Hillary.

More here.

al political BS aside ; if ANY American can put aside and not consider how Hillary LIED to the faces of the relatives of those who were killed in Benghazi , intentionally and knowingly lied , then that American voter should NOT have the right to vote . F them . It’s not their right to choose to apply a ‘willing suspension of disbelief’. Allowing vast numbers of stupid uninformed people is killing our country . And we are allowing it . Is our country really so little that we continue to tolerate the intolerable ?

Democrats start with that every election. By the time a Republican wins their first state, the Democrat already has over 200 electoral votes.

Why is this any different than last time? And Obama won Virginia and Florida last election. Everything will be the same and it will come down to how many votes are stolen in Cuyohuga County....

What the rats are counting on is the candidate is anyone but Walker or Cruz. You get Cruz, all those hispanic “legal” votes go bye bye. And if you get Walker, you have a chance of picking up Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.

AMEN!!

Reagan did not give up, neither should we.

Regarding the hispanics, do not assume all are automatic lefty voters. Many, just like past European immigrants, are looking for a better future for themselves and their families. They need to be educated in Conservatism and its ideals. Yes, many are are illegal yet if they are to vote because of the left’s disregard for the law, we might as well make a run for them. Not with the short term lived Santa Claus offers like the left does but with lifelong and generational ideals of freedom and liberty brought on by Conservative ideals.

Regards.

The same bunch of low info Democrat voters who twice elected a homosexual Kenyan Muslim to the Presidency will faithfully turn out for Hillary, and the same bunch of highly informed Republican voters who said, “Ewwww, I’m not voting for some damn Mormon,” and stayed home on election day will say, “Ewwww, I’m not voting for some damn Mexican/hillbilly/Cuban/Canadian/etc.,” and will stay home on election day 2016.

As has been said by wiser men than I could ever hope to be, “In a Democracy, a people will have the government they deserve.”

The electoral math is simply daunting and there is no argument against that condition.

As has been said plenty of times, the GOP has to run the table to win. To think that a thoroughly lackluster and zero-appeal candidate like Jeb Bush, not even possessing the miniscule personal appeal of McCain or Romney begs the question, does the GOP actually want to guarantee a Hillary win? Between Rove, McConnell, and Linda, enough doubt and election indifference can certainly be sown among potential GOP voters.

“Sobering” is the least I would call it.

Apparently the author knows more than the voters in this country. I have no doubt there will be criminal issues related to the election as the demodumies continue on their merry way of rigging elections. There is still a long way to go before Nov. 2016 and a whole lot can happen before then.

The Presidency does not matter. Special interest groups control Washington.

Yes, the media are the enemy, and the GOP candidate has to act like he knows that. There’s no sense trying to get them to treat him fairly, so the only option is to declare war on them and hope that voters catch the vision.

I’ve never met one person, regardless of party or ideology, who likes her.

You're right. Committed liberals don't like her. Mainstream democrats don't like her. Left-leaning moderates don't like her.

But all of the above will vote for her! Their reasoning will go something like this: I don't like Hillary, but I will vote for her because the GOP candidate is worse/I liked Bill Clinton (it will be one of those two reasons).

Unless our candidate is Bush, I don't believe this election will be close.

It's going to be a landslide win for Republicans if we have a nominee like Cruz who will obliterate the “Obama coalition” that Democrats mistakenly believe in the new normal.

This is like assuming George HW Bush starts with the 49 states Reagan won and it's his election to lose.

Every candidate is unique, and will attract and/or repel completely different voters from his predecessor regardless of whether they have the same letter after their name on the ballot.

Okay, but look what our illustrious Senate and House leadership did with that victory? Republicans have a knack for losing. As a former Northern Virginia resident, it is very much like the Redskins, play great up until the end and then throw it away.
