The Trump nightmare is real. Clinton could lose this
NJ.com Star-Ledger Editorial Board ^ | May 4, 2016 | Tom moran

In May of 1988 Gov. Michael Dukakis had a 10-point lead over his Republican rival, the same margin that Hillary Clinton has today.

He lost. And she could, too.

Don't comfort yourself too much by looking at the horse race polls. Those are about Donald Trump's weakness, not Clinton's strength. A fresh Washington Post poll shows that only 37 percent of American voters trust her, and the number is dropping -- even before her well-fed opponents have begun to pound the airwaves with slimy attack ads on her.

And let's face it: It is not beyond the imagination to think that a fresh scandal could emerge. Clinton has long been a warrior for good causes, from child poverty to health care.

“How many under 35 know real Hillary?”

How many under 35 care? That crowd wants Bernie, not grandma.

This isn’t going to be another 1964, and the political establishment knows it. They’re sweating bullets.

It’s not a larger step than thinking that Trump would be the GOPee’s Candidate.

Trump can keep the Hillary hate alive by reminding everyone about her past. Trump beat a lot of people already and he is still standing. Hillary couldn’t beat Obama because of Obama enthusiasm. Trumps enthusiasm is greater than Clintons. If he can paint Hillary as a liar, cheat and crook, he wins.

37% of Americans trust Clinton? I am now even more pessimistic about the education system.

I asked a serious question.
So, do you care to enlighten us who will be the GOPee’s candidate if not Trump. Because I am fairly convinced Trump will be the nominee, and I am thinking past it. You seem to be stuck circa 1999.

The sexual deviants are starting to panic. They know their “polls” are just a bunch of commie lib BS. Their Queen is teetering on the brink of oblivion.

There are still people who are brain dead and do not understand much of anything other than who is on their cell phone.

“Hillary couldn’t beat Obama because of Obama enthusiasm.”

I don’t believe that was the problem; it appeared just too many establishment Dems knew the Clintons were snakes. Remember BJ begging Fat Ted Kennedy for his support?
