WASHINGTON — Hillary Clinton is now behind or tied with most major Republican hopefuls in three critical swing states, according to a Quinnipiac University poll out Thursday.
Her closest competitor in the poll – Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky – had an edge over Clinton in both Colorado and Iowa.
This is great news if Rand beats her for the Democratic nomination.
Nobody except Jeb Bush left behind Benghazi Granny.
If he passes her she will have last place secured.
well done Rand he could get the Dem nomination seeing as he;s just as much left wing or even more left wing than Hillary
so it could be Cruz on the right and Paul on the left.
And what first tier candidate is missing from this list? Could it be that they are trying to erase Ted Cruz?
If he is ahead, then a Conservative should do better.
Could it be that they are trying to erase Ted Cruz?

Pretty impressive...
• Solicitor General of Texas from 2003 - May 2008, Cruz was the first Hispanic Solicitor General in Texas, the youngest Solicitor General in the entire country, not to mention the longest tenure in Texas history.
• Partner at the law firm Morgan, Lewis & Bockius, where he led the firm’s U.S. Supreme Court and national appellate litigation practice.
• Cruz has authored 80+ SCOTUS briefs and presented 40+ oral arguments before The Court
• Cruz served as a law clerk to Chief Justice William Rehnquist. Cruz was the first Hispanic ever to clerk for a Chief Justice of the United States
• Described as a ‘superb’ constitutional lawyer, the man’s considerable skills and laser-like focus were on display for all when he took oily reptile Eric Holder by the neck and made him
answer the damn question.
• In the landmark case of District of Columbia v. Heller, Cruz assembled a coalition of 31 states in defense of the principle that the 2nd Amendment guarantees an individual right to keep and bear arms.
• Cruz presented oral argument for the amici states in the companion case to Heller before the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
• In addition to his victory in Heller, Cruz has successfully defended the Ten Commandments monument on the Texas State Capitol grounds, the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools and the majority of the 2003 Texas redistricting plan. Cruz also successfully defended, in Medellin v. Texas, the State of Texas against an attempt by the International Court of Justice to re-open the criminal convictions of 51 murderers on death row throughout the United States.
• Director of the Office of Policy Planning at the Federal Trade Commission
• Domestic Policy Advisor to U.S. President George W. Bush on the 2000 Bush-Cheney campaign.
• Adjunct Professor of Law at the University of Texas School of Law in Austin, where he taught U.S. Supreme Court litigation
• Ted Cruz is currently junior US Senator from Texas. In order to win the 2012 Republican nomination for the Senate seat vacated by Kay Bailey Hutchison, Cruz had to defeat Texas Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst -heavily favored/backed by the DC old-guard GOP- in the Republican primary runoff. In the event, TEA Party favorite Cruz crushed Dewhurst, 57-43%...
he then beat Democrat Paul Sadler in the general election by a similar margin, 56-41. Cruz is also endorsed by the Tea Party Movement and the Republican Liberty Caucus.

Godspeed, Senator Cruz- I’m all in.
And staying home in November (or voting Democrat) ifwhen they don't get their way.
They did poll for Ted Cruz, and Hillary beat Cruz in every swing state. That is why they don’t list Cruz among the Republicans who beat Hillary in swing states - because he loses.
Yeah, they will stay home when they scream bloody murder for not getting the nomination with 4% of the vote.
Pray America is waking
Can Obama run for the vice presidency? Warren and Obama. We know he hates the Clintons. I think Bill would be doing the same thing.
Rand may be gaining or surpassing Hilda Clinton, but he has no chance to gain on FR. This is Cruz country.
How is that possible? How can Cruz poll lower than Paul? Are those polls reliable?
It’s because Cruz isn’t as well known and/or because Paul’s policies and personality appeal to more Americans than Cruz’ does.
Thanks for a civil answer.
