As Hillary’s Numbers Dip, Benghazi Rises As an Issue
The Fiscal Times on Yahooie!! ^ | 6/3/15 | Eric Pianin

Posted on 06/04/2015 12:48:17 PM PDT by NormsRevenge

There was a ton of bad news for Hillary Clinton in two new polls that put the former Secretary of State’s favorability deeper into negative territory amid harsh voter assessments of her personality – particularly her trustworthiness. When asked by CNN/ORC if Clinton was honest and trustworthy, only 42 percent of respondents said yes while 57 percent said no. That was down from 50/49 percent in March and 56/43 percent in March 2014.

Clinton’s favorability ratings are also the lowest in a Washington Post-ABC News poll since April 2008 when she first sought the Democratic presidential nomination. Today, just 41 percent of Americans say she is honest and trustworthy, in contrast to 52 percent who said she is not. That represents a startling 22 percentage point swing in the past year, according to The Washington Post.

There may be even worse political news for Clinton in these two national polls: The House Republicans’ persistent investigation of her role surrounding the 2012 terrorist attack against a U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans including U.S. Ambassador Christopher J. Steven is gaining traction with the public. Asked whether they were satisfied or dissatisfied with the way Clinton handled the crisis, just 38 percent surveyed by CNN said they were satisfied while 58 percent were dissatisfied. That compares with 43 percent who were satisfied and 55 percent who were dissatisfied back in May 2014.

...

Half of the people surveyed for the Washington Post-ABC news poll said they disapprove of the way Clinton is handling questions about Benghazi and 55 percent said they consider the issue to be fair game in next year’s election.

Dropping approval ratings are certainly not enough, being marched into a jail cell at about now would be the more appropriate thing to be taking place now.

I prophesied earlier that she will not be the Dem nominee. She carries more baggage than a Pullman Porter and as the democrat incumbents see their cushy jobs vaporizing they will put enough pressure on the DNC to find another candidate. Another Dark Horse and I do mean Dark will be brought out of the bull pen to become the new reliever.

It’s important to recognize that the GOPe is up to their necks in Benghazi.

It will be great to know that she has failed in her bid for the presidency and she will not have another chance.

Hillary had delegated the region and it’s affairs to Sid Blumenthal. It’s not easy to walk that back and hide it from view. It’s also crushing as it drips out, and not from a youtube video either.

I think the “dark horse” has his leg in a cast right now. Lurch has been salivating at the opportunity to run again and I think someone put the piano wire in his path the other day to stop it.

After Lurch what do they have: Biden! They could go deep under the bench, even inside the locker room or brought up directly from double A: Booker, former mayor of Newark. Then there is Gov Moonbeam, name recognition you know. Or one of the libers in the Senate. Maybe they would try for Castro or even MOOOshel too. How about one of those wing ding spokespeople at State?? Gee, the field is wide but not too deep.

It will be Elizabeth Warren.

She has promised Val Jarrett that she will keep her as ‘senior aide’.

Hillary hates VJ and was going to put Cheryl Mills in the position.

All this stuff on Hillary is coming out because VJ ordered it. She does not want to lose her position as RULER (Obama’s senior aide) of the New Socialist Caliphate of the Western Hemisphere.

The rats will stick with the hildabeast all the way, they have no other viable options. Should be an easy win for republicans if they don’t run Bush.
