A new Quinnipiac University poll found that Hillary Clinton would trounce any of the top three Republican 2016 contenders, but Vice President Joe Biden would lose to Christie, struggle against Ryan, and defeat Rubio.
If the election were held today, former Sec. of State Clinton would have an easy time against either Chris Christie, Marco Rubio, or Paul Ryan. Clinton would defeat Sen. Marco Rubio 50%-34%. She would also win by double digits over Rep. Paul Ryan 50%-38. The Republican that would give her the most trouble is the one that the conservative base likes the least. Clinton would defeat Gov. Chris Christie 45%-37%.
Vice President Biden doesn’t fare nearly as well against the top three Republicans. Biden tops Rubio 45%-38%. The vice president would be in a close race with Ryan 45%-42%, and he would lose to Christie 43%-40%. The difference between Clinton and Biden is most clearly seen with Independent voters. Clinton ties Christie with Independents (36%-36%). Biden loses to Christie 44%-32%. Clinton leads Ryan by six points with Independents, 44%-38%. Ryan leads Biden with Independents, 45%-36%. Clinton leads Rubio, 44%-32% with Independents. Rubio leads Biden, 39%-36%.

I’ll cast my first vote for a democrat if Jeb Clampett Bush is our nominee.
Do u hear me Rove?
She can’t pass the physical. This is a woman who quit taking her blood thinners and drank a lot of alcohol. I’m pretty sure she was ignoring Doctors orders. If she is such a bonehead as to ignore her Doctors, then she doesn’t care about her health. Not a happy future, there.
And Bill would be 1st Dude....
Fortunately things do not always turn out the way people think they would.
Much truth to what you say. I remember watching David Letterman shortly after the first Gulf War, back when he was somewhat amusing and not simply a bitter old man. He was doing some skit about predicting the future and had cards with a timeline on it. He would flip the cards and the timeline would move forward with the next event. The ending card was something like "3000 AD: Democrats regain the White House."
Less than 3 years later, Clinton won (Thanks, H. Ross).
Glad to be of service.
She’s gonna have to have some serious chin, eyebrown, cheek, neck and rump sucking done before she’ll look anything like before... She’s a worn out frump that can’t even hold her temper any more. Four years of kissing Obama’s ass and keeping her mouth shut have taken a toll on ole’ Mumu Hillary. She looks like a beached whale with a bad hairdo (or don’t as it looks like). Can’t even dye it right.
My Bad! In my earlier post on this thread I said polls favoring Romney were correct. I meant to say the polls favoring Romney were incorrect. Blasted printers devils!
All the (D)s need is corruption, voter fraud & low information voters. Oh wait. They already have it.
Funny choices in that poll, with the funniest being Hillary. Must have been mostly funny chosen respondents, too.
RE: The next goal of a trivial stupid American electorate shall be a Female(with strong masculine tendencies)President.
How about a Female with strong, conservative convictions for President?
you could be correct (which would be very scarey indeed, very very very scarey for the future of USA).
We were thinking that it sure looks like a “coup” ... whereby a fairly small group of Marxist Leninist Islamicists seized control of the top ranks of the party apparatus (with the help of unlimited funding from Soros/Saudi Royal Family/etc.).
if you are correct and it is the broad base of the party membership, kiss America goodbye.
if it is a coup type situation, then it can (and likely will eventually) be corrected
Irrelevant as far as the majority of voters lean. Besides I said a Female with strong MASCULINE tendencies.
Better steel yourself for 2016, when you'll be bombarded by all the Jeb Bush harpies on FR screaming at you for not voting for the GOP pick. They were here last year as Mitt Romney harpies, they go with whoever is the latest RINO flavor once he's crowned at the Repubican Convention.
It is not coup. There has been a leftward drift all my life and I’m over 50.
Remember Glenn Beck’s book “The Overton Window?” Well, the Overton Window is a real concept. It frames what is politically possible and it is mobile. It has been moving farther and farther left since I was a boy.
Nowadays, most “conservative” ‘Pubbies would fall to the left of the average Democrat of the mid-60s. Most liberal Democrats are more like the hippie trash that was taking over and wrecking campuses (campii?) in the 60’s. Even when conservatives held power, they don’t move the window back to the left; they just stop or slow the leftward movement.
Problem is, survival and prosperity are no longer tied to what you do. It is tied to manipulating the “system.” You can have a passable life if you just scam the system, drop a few bastards, etc. If you are more ambitious you work for for the system. If you are trying to get bloody rich, you figure out how to be a crony “capitalist.”
We need a principle “Nobody is entitled to anything for which someone else must pay.” Unfortunately, that would get you killed at the polls. From where I stand “We Are All Doomed” per John Derbyshire.
She’d be slaughtered (slandered) before the primaries even started.
