As Hillary! Craters, Democrats Search for Panic Button

It’s no longer a question of whether Hillary! Clinton will be the Democratic nominee for president in 2016; it’s only a question of when she will drop out of the race rather than face humiliation a second time:

Democrats are seeing warning signs after a new poll showed Hillary Clinton losing three swing states and deep in negative territory on questions of character. One Democratic strategist who spoke on condition of anonymity described the poll results as “the canary in the coal mine.

The poll, from Quinnipiac University, surveyed voters in Colorado, Iowa and Virginia. President Obama won all three states in both of his presidential election victories, but they went for former President George W. Bush almost as uniformly in 2004 and 2000. When the pollsters tested Clinton against leading Republican contenders Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla.), former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, she lost every state to every opponent.

Among the most alarming findings, from a Democratic perspective, was the indication that Clinton, widely considered the party’s front-runner, would lose Colorado by 9 points to Walker and would lose by at least 6 points to any of the three candidates in Iowa. Hank Sheinkopf, a New York-based Democratic consultant who has worked with Clinton in the past but is not involved with her current campaign, described the findings as “absolutely dangerous” for the party.

Losing a state like Colorado by nine points to Scott Walker (who will be the GOP standard-bearer in 2016) would mean an electoral disaster for the Democrats is in the offing. If it’s not close in Colorado or Iowa, it means the Democrats would likely lose every swing state, including Walker’s own Wisconsin, and be confined to their electoral ghettos in New England and on the West Coast.

But it is not just the head-to-head match-ups where Clinton struggles. Other findings are also poor for her, including on the question of whether voters trust her. Those results seem ominous given that the former first lady has been in the public eye for around a quarter-century, making impressions of her more difficult to change. She has also struggled on questions of honesty before.

The Quinnipiac poll showed Coloradans asserting by an almost 2-1 margin that Clinton was not honest or trustworthy: 62 percent said she was not, whereas only 34 percent she was. The findings were not much better in either Iowa or Virginia. Respondents distrusted Clinton 59 percent to 33 percent in the former, and 55 percent to 39 percent in latter.

Crazy as it seemed only a couple of months ago, look for both Al Gore and John Kerry to start testing the waters by the fall. Now, Democrats are running around with their hair on fire.

Both Gore & Kerry have no credibility at all. Al Gore is a raving lunatic and thief. Kerry is still finalizing the Iran deal that is showing him as “half as smart as Jimmah Carter”. These two would be great to run against and defeat. Either way, Hillary has to go quickly or go to prison.

There’s not many capable democrats up to running... Dems have their trolls and cheerleaders in the press - but look at how many Governors and State Houses they’ve lost. If it weren’t for blacks - and white liberal elites - they wouldn’t be able to elect a dog catcher...

And a lot of those liberal elite whites are getting frightened of what the party’s becoming...

Emphasizing the importance of Millennial voters in upcoming elections, DNC progressive activists spoke to a nearly empty auditorium at the College Democrats of America annual conference Friday. Despite speakers like Julian Castro (latino HUD secy-- connected to La Raza being touted as Hillary's running mate), and campaigning advice from top political operatives, the College Democrats of America were barely able to fill the first couple rows with young attendees.(SOURCE campusreform.com)

If elected, Hillary would be the second oldest president after Reagan. Bernie Sanders is already older than Reagan was at the time of his second-term election.

I saw one post on an idiot lib blog where they argued Hillary would be “much younger” than Reagan due to the superior expected life expectancy of wealthy female liberals.

... there nevertheless isn’t a single serious Democrat with a name we know willing to run against her.

You are right, but this may reflect a dearth of talent in the weak democrat bench. Think, what democrat with name recognition would you consider as being a "serious" alternative?

The elections of 2010 and 2014 have wiped out virtually an entire generation of what would have been the up and coming democrats of the future. They never made it past the statehouses' and governors' races.

Squaw Warren could trounce Hillary and win the general if the Chicago Mob supported her.

Of course they’d have to hire David Plouffe back from Uber, LOL.

You are right. Sixteen years of toadying to the Clintons and Obamas and Soros has left the rest of the bench atrophied, timid, afraid to do anything that would look like disloyalty, afraid of anything that will draw negative attention from the Sorosian crazies.

They have governors who at least in theory should have some proven competence, but none who would dare to buck Soros, Clinton, Obama, and Occupy simultaneously. So all they are left with are Hillary, and a couple of wingnuts (Bernie and Liz Warren).
