New Poll Shows Clinton, Sanders Tied -- Hillary's Lead Totally Evaporates In 6 Weeks

Submitted by Mike Krieger via Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,

The more people see Hillary and Bernie head-to-head, the more people like Bernie.

People are starting to get it. They understand the system has morphed into a rigged fraud, and they understand that Sanders really, desperately wants to change it. As much as I disagree with a lot of Sanders' solutions (his economic statism for example), he clearly despises the status quo, and for many of the right reasons.

Sanders is a revolutionary-type candidate, while Clinton is running to be just another placeholder for Wall Street and oligarchical interests.

So as the American public starts to understand its choices, people are coming around. The Hill reports the following as relates to the shocking results of Quinnipiac's latest poll:

Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders has dramatically cut into the nationwide lead of primary rival Hillary Clinton, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll.

 

The poll released Friday finds Clinton leading the race with 44 percent support, compared to 42 percent support for Sanders, within the survey's margin of error.

 

The last iteration of the poll in December had Clinton leading Sanders nationwide by a 61-30 point margin.

 

The poll also finds that Sanders matches up better with top Republican primary candidates than Clinton.

 

In head-to-head matchups the Vermont senator leads GOP front-runner Donald Trump by 10 points, edges Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) by 4 points

and ties Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.).

 

While Clinton still tops Trump by 5 points, she ties Cruz and trails Rubio by 7 points.

 

The poll also finds that Clinton has a 17-point unfavorable rating, only besting Trump in that category, who has a 25-point unfavorable rating.

Simply amazing.

The gains for Bernie are nowhere more evident than in the gaping divergence between the Crony Capitalist and the Seething Socialist in New Hampshire...

Huma is probably as guilty as Clintoon.

Clintoon did not have the skills to make copies of Top Secret Emails without the security classifications, Then use the unmarked top secret copies in email drafts with out any of the copies of showing the top secret classification.

Next, they left the unsent email drafts on Clintoon’s server so any of Clintoon’s friends from Isis to the Chicoms could access the saved drafts by entering Clintoon’s pass word after entering her log on name: DonatetoClintoon.com.

Then, they could say that they never sent any classified emails. Of course they left the back door open to who paid for the access via her email password to get access to her drafts of top secret material.

So Huma was up to her Muslim Jihadist butt in aiding and abetting Hill to sell our secrets to the highest bidders.

HOW TO BUY A CLINTON---give em big buck honoraria

Hillary said she took $675,000 from Goldman Sachs for three speeches b/c that was what G/S offered her. TRANSLATION: I'll take as much as I can get.

INCONVENIENT FACTOIDS:Many others gave speeches to G/S.....but they didnt cash a $675,000 G/S check. Goldman Sachs is an investment bank---the $675,000 was an investment. Hillary could make sure G/S got a handsome ROT. G/S paid Hillary well b/c she offered them something no other speaker could-----Hillary was running for president.

MEMO TO HILLARY--Let's see the G/S speech transcript. Bernie wants to know how you sucked-up to Wall Street.

===========================================

HOW TO BUY A CLINTON--donate mega-bucks to the Clinton Foundation

As a tolerant and compassionate progressive New York senator, Hillary Clinton championed a US law that would have cracked down on the illicit mineral trade in the dirt-poor African state: Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Fast-forward to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

The head of a Canadian company with an enormous interest in the Congo's mining and oil sector, Lukas Lundin of Lundin Mining, announced a $100 million donation to the Clinton Foundation on the heels of Hillary/'s first presidential campaign.

After the Congolese government attempted to regain control of its own mines, the State Department intervened on behalf of Lundin Mining and another mining company, Freeport Mines, also a Clinton foundation donor.

A round of talks in 2010, thought to be aided by the Clinton State Department, concluded with the pair of well-connected companies retaining their stakes in the mines and with the Congolese government being shut out of its own resources. (hat tip Schweizer book---Clinton Cash)

MORAL OF THE STORY When Hillary smells money, she will flout the law to suck-up to Clnton Foundation donors....particularly w/ financial stakes in the mineral industry.

N.i.c.e deconstruction.

The Clinton/Muslim connection is yuuuge. The conniving Clintons were more than willing to take money from oppressive regimes while Hillary was sitting pretty in the State Department catbird seat.

SoS Hillary approved arms sales that enhanced military power of known terrorist countries. Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Qatar are Clinton foundation and Library donors.....countries singled out for corruption, and civil liberties violations to violent crackdowns against political opponents.........

INCONVENIENT FACTOIDS

<><> 181 Clinton Foundation donors lobbied Hillary's State Department for political favors.

<><> The Clinton Family Foundation and the Clinton Library received millions from Muslim Qatar, as well as donations from FIFA, the soccer organization now enmeshed in a bribery and corruption.

<><> The Clintons have a secret 'pass-through' company, WJC, LLC; Hillary's State Department approved $165 billion worth of commercial arms sales to 20 nations whose governments have given money to the Clinton Foundation.

<><> The WSJ listed at least 60 companies that lobbied Hillary's State Department while she was there, companies donated a total of more than $26 million to the Clinton Foundation, while Hillary used the power of the US govt to perform political "favors" for the donors.

<><> FOREIGN Donations to the Clinton Foundation jumped 73% from 2013-14, when Hillary Clinton was preparing to run for the presidency. Foreign donations for presidents are illegal, but ex-pres Bill Clinton had no problem receiving donations from Communist China while he was president.

=============================================

There are plenty of shady dealings between the Clinton Foundation and its foreign donors that relied on Hillary Clinton for favors. How shady? The Charity Navigator, a nonpartisan organization that provides information on charities, placed the Clinton Foundation on its Watchlist, due to its "atypical business model."

Is the Clinton Foundation a fraud? They acknowledge over $2 BILLION dollars income......but IMHO that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Maybe that's why the Clintons have such a hard time remembering to accurately file their TAXES, because they have a lot to hide.

Sen Charles Grassley has been pressing the State Department to answer questions over Huma Abedins lucrative govt job arrangement facilitated by then SoS Hillary.

Sen Grassley wrote in a June 13 letter: It appears that one of Abedin's clients, the Clinton-connected Teneo Strategies, may have been compensating Ms. Abedin for gathering information from US government sources for the purpose of informing investment decisions of her consulting clients - or in other words, political intelligence. This raises important questions about whether Abedins dual role was adequately disclosed to government officials who may have provided her information without realizing that she was being paid by private investors to gather information.

Grassley's letter recounted:

<><> Abedin allegedly sent or received more than 7,000 emails on her US government account that involved Teneo's Doug Band, a close confidante and travel companion of the globe-trotting Bill clinton;

<><> one email exchange involved Teneo's Doug Band pressuring Abedin to encourage her State Department boss, Hillary Clinton, to facilitate a White House appointment for one of his clients. Judith Rodin, then-president of the Rockefeller Foundation, "donated hundreds of millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation," Mr. Band allegedly noted in his email to Ms. Abedin.

<><> email evidence allegedly suggests that Ms. Abedin and another Hillary aide, Cheryl Mills, colluded to find a way to ensure the US govt paid for Ms. Abedin's travel to and from New York.

<><> multiple allegations received by Sen Grassley's Judiciary Committee indicated Abedin had actually taken leave during her time as a govt employee, casting doubt on whether Abedin should have received $33,000 in taxpayer money.

<><> allegations surfaced that the State Dept personnel rule was quietly bent to permit Abedin to collect her government paycheck while wielding her influence to the benefit of her other employers.

<><> Hillary Clinton jetted to Ireland with Abedin at her side for her last official trip before exiting the State Dept, during which Hillary attended an event hosted by a major Clinton Foundation donor that had been promoted by Teneo (for which Abedin then-served as a "consultant")

<><> Abedin's special employment status gave her heavy influence over Hillary Clinton's State Dept daily schedule and travel plans at the same time Abedin served as a senior adviser at Teneo, and performed other duties at the Clinton Foundation.

<><> Abedin using information about Hillary's travel schedule in discussions w/ her clients, could be a serious breach of US ntl security, since even the calendar amd travel plans of the Secy of State is considered classified information.

<><> Abedin was among several key aides to Hillary Clinton that hosted email accounts on a private server in the 2016 presidential candidate's Chappaqua, New York home, in violation of federal records laws.

REFERENCE Abedin worked as a full-time staffer to Hillary Clinton January 2009-June 2012; she was then given a "special government employee" designation and took on roles at the Clinton Foundation and Teneo.That designation is designed to allow individuals who fill "an unmet government need for rare or unique expertise" to retain their private-sector positions while receiving compensation from the government.

Abedin is currently vice-chair of Hillary's presidential campaign committee. //////The FBI should determine if Huma Abedin, Cheryl Mills, Sid Blumenthal and other Clinton cronies are STILL listed as State Dept employees---perhaps as contractors---and are still receiving classified State Dept mail and ar cashing US govt paychecks.

There is evidence none of these people signed the official State Dept exit form.........b/c that would have cutoff access to State Dept info......info the Clintons and their cronies rely on to cash-in.

Note Brian Pagliano---Hillary's personal IT--- left her employ then surfaced on the public payroll as a State Dept contractor.

======================================

Taxpayers demand to know who else among the Clinton cronies are cashing US govt paychecks It's an old bureaucratic trick for a politician to hand-pick people and put them on the public payroll long after you think they're gone......perhaps as State Dept "contractors."

<><> Hillary?

<><> Bill Clinton?

<><> Sid Blumenthal?

<><> Huma Abedin,

<><> Huma's husband?

<><> Cheryl Mills?

<><> Cheryl mills' live-in David Domenici?

<><> Chelsea Clinton?

<><> Chelsea's husband?

========================================

CONTACT CONGRESS HERE: http://www.contactingthecongress.org/

Demand Congress send you all available information on individuals connected to Hillary still cashing US govt paychecks. In light of the $6 billion missing from the contractor fund when Hillary exited, taxpayers demand to know who is listed as a State Dept contractor.

Nothing the Clintoons and their private Jihadist, Huma, have done, really surprises me any more.

Hey Hilary, despite our horror at imagining a thoroughly Socialist Amerika, many of us can't help the feeling of schadenfreude.

Hilary's disgusting arrogance has finally caught up to her.
Bernie seems to be so befuddled that he doesn't know that he's evil. Hilary seems to relish her evil like a queen in a Disney movie.
