Poll: Clinton has big edge in advance of 2016 elections

At this early stage for the 2016 presidential campaign, it’s Hillary’s world, and everyone else just lives in it.

Hillary Clinton dominates the potential field of candidates for the Democratic nomination by huge margins, with a more than 5-to-1 advantage over her nearest rival and more than doubling the support of everyone else combined, according to a new McClatchy-Marist Poll. The Republican race is wide open, with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie slightly ahead. And Clinton has an edge or outright lead over any of them.

“It’s Hillary versus the pack for the nomination,” said Lee Miringoff, director of The Marist College Institute for Public Opinion in New York, which conducted the poll.

“There is no strong contender against her,” he said. “She doesn’t want to use the word inevitable, but these numbers are as wide as they can get. She’s jogging around the track by herself.”

The former first lady, senator and secretary of state enjoys lopsided support among Democrats and Democratic-leading independents.....

But, besides Palin, Lee, Trump, Carson, and many ‘12 candidates for GOP POTUS, who may run again in ‘16, weren’t mentioned, either.

The GOPe is now fully invested in the Alinsky fascist closet.

These feminists will want to be treated special like some superior race. They have done nothing but whoring women nd crushed them if they wanted to study or found a family. But the demoralizing hysteria of the whore wants its pride recognition. For years little girls have been bashed on the head with so called women studies. I attended such a class once, and there the hate minute of 1984 was nothing compared. These people are lunatics. Think of an evangelical church, but instead of exalting Jesus you hear screams and curses. Competely nuts.

Communists eventually find out they are not the ueber advanced alien race of evolution the hard way, but before that happen the sheeple keeps working for them and nicely paying their taxes believing their messya, putting up with the “it is racist or sexist or seditionist” if you do not accept what the gang of government is doing to you.

Yep no term limit government career...

Yes. Look at it this way. Obama, greatest manager and smartest person on the face of this earth, PERSONALLY vetted and chose Plugs as heir to the throne - not once, but TWICE. Yet, Plugs’ name is nowhere to be heard now.

What does that tell you about Obama?

That sounds like Free Republic. I thought of that myself, of the fights that will go on here if he winds up with the nomination.

Yes, in spite of her lack of accomplishments and her miserable failure in the 2008 campaign. She’ll run on the memory of “Clinton’s economy” and the “peace and prosperity” of the Clinton years, and enough people may fall for it to get her into the White House if our side doesn’t have answers ready.

To mention a recent rant she expounded, “What difference does it make”? If I were her opposition, I would bring that comment up at every opportunity and include the Benghazi “murders” as well. She is up to her bloomers in that mess and should be held accountable. The un-informed voters need to be made aware and if it takes the election process to do it, so be it. She deserves to go down in disgrace.

She doesn’t even have to campaign in NY, CA or IL. Those electoral votes are already sewed up regardless of who the Demoncrat nominee is. We can add MA, NJ, VT,RI, PA, ME and CT to that too. Am I missing any?

By Spring of next year, much less 2016, having the word “Democrat” after your name should be about as poisonous as having “KKK,” “al Qaeda” or “pedophile”

"Democrat" is also equivalent to "lying murdering traitor."

Let’s just cancel the election since the results are already determined.

They said the same thing before Obama got into the race the last time!

She just has name recognition.

Third party Tea Party candidate if Christlie is the candidate.
Win the presidency with 42% of the vote, 37% to Hillary, 21% to Christlie.

I have run the numbers.

What a strange choice of words. Hillary couldn't jog to the bathroom if she had diarrhea.

I would like to see her play the gender card, since her opponent will likely be Sarah H Palin.

May the better woman win.

****

In the land of low information voters, Sarah Palin is no more a woman than Justice Clarence Thomas is black. Reality denied and twisted by Dimwit politicos and the media.
