Hillary Clinton’s national lead is slipping faster in 2016 than it did in 2008
Washington Post ^ | January 14, 2016 | Philip Bump

If we compare where Clinton is now in the Real Clear Politics polling average, the 2016 picture and the 2008 picture aren't really all that similar. Nationally, she was doing much better in 2008 than she is right now, perhaps in part because the anti-Clinton vote in 2008 was still split between two people -- Barack Obama and John Edwards -- instead of just one. But that recent trend line, a function of two new national polls that were close after a bit of a lull, is not very good news.

With Bubba, Chelsea and the new grand baby not working, it's about time for her to try to flash some cleavage and a well-turned cankle.

And in 08, Hillary thought she had the super delegates locked up...the problem was they said adios and moved over to obama.

It’s a flameout, stall, departure from controlled flight, and flat spin. Next stop, terra firma.

Hey, Hillary, the 90’s called. They said go sit on the front porch and be a full-time grandma already.

Is there anything in politics more phony than when a politician puts on an exaggerated "surprised" look on their face and points into the audience as if they just realized that their very best friend was sitting out in the audience. It's so contrived and this one does it constantly.

Now that the washPost has printed Hilary’s ( very intense) unpopularity inside the D party -——— you can bet they’ll find another —,much more attractive- to - voters , “viable” candidate to try to hang onto power. Their problems are she’s paying the party brass a lot of $ and a lot of them are afraid of their cars mysteriously flying off cliffs too. But they definitely don’t want to lose power — watch for another candidate ( and we need to get used to old Bernie the Red if nobody else steps in)

I want the press to tell us who IS backing Hillary.

They fall over themselves to tell us that Trump is being supported by blue collar folks who didn’t graduate from college.

So, come on New York Times... tell us the education level of Hillary supporters, and what percentage have been in prison or jail within the last 6 years...

yes.
Jerry...too old?...78 in April so aged 79 to 83 as president.
Biden ...has too much baggage (some real, some maybe not when but its still a problem.... tho I thought he was really faked out when he declined to run a few months ago... that was a real opportunity for Joe ... note he would be age 74 to 78 as president, though....)

the D’s are the biggest political party in USA, don’t they have even one viable, saleable candidate ( and one who is not past his or her actuarial death due date)???

I know, it’s a testament as to how much damage Obama has done to the Dim party, taking it so far left. Decent pols don’t want to run.
