I saw a recent poll suggesting that former first lady, United States senator and secretary of State Hillary Clinton would beat Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) in a hypothetic presidential campaign, even in the reddest states.
This made me think of a happy thought for Democrats: it is within the realm of possibility that Clinton would win all 50 states in an epic, historic and realigning mega-landslide against the party that threatens a Republican default, a Republican economic crash and a Republican government shutdown.
Here's why:
Republicans have been accused of waging a war against women, a war against workers and a war against the poor. Republicans have been accused of waging a war against the environment while they deny global warming. We even have Republicans waging a war against the American economy, while some Republicans even deny the deadly economic dangers of a U.S. default.
It gets better for Democrats: Now, Republicans are waging a war against everyone. Veterans and military families face hardship because of the Republican shutdown. Small-business people cannot get loans because of the Republican shutdown. Tourists find national parks closed because of the Republican shutdown. It goes on and on and on, which is why Republican polling numbers have been falling like a snowball down a mountain during an avalanche.
It gets even better for Democrats: Republicans have been accused of waging a war against the 99 percent, which is bad enough, as Mitt Romney learned the hard way. But now, Republicans are even waging a war against the 1 percent.
Think about it: If the debt ceiling is not increased and markets crash, the 1 percent get screwed along with everyone else. And — this is important — if the government shutdown continues, consumer confidence and consumer purchasing power go down. Retail sales go down. Sales and earnings and profits of most businesses, large and small, go down. And with the latest GOP scheme for a short term deal, which will continue the sadomasochism in Washington through the Christmas shopping season, the Banana Republicans could ruin the holiday for Mom and Dad, the kids, and businesses across America.
Bill and Hillary Clinton represent better days for the economy, and a Clinton presidency that led to powerful economic growth, prosperity and jobs even while the Banana Republicans tried to impeach him. Hillary Clinton represents to voters the ability to lead, the ability to govern, and the ability to grow the economy. If she runs against the Banana Republicans, who are so unpopular today, she could actually win all 50 states in November 2016. That's a happy prospect indeed, for Democrats.
Republicans should allow a vote in the House to end the shutdown, no strings attached, now.
I think this is what happens when a person takes it as an enema.
Budowsky may be the most left wing guy at the Hill.
DRUGS! that’s the only explanation for this article.
I would not be surprised if universal franchise voting+infotainment+Public schools+college indoctrination has not produced a 50-state Hillary majority.
We may need to re-think this whole voting thing.
Thanks!
Hey, I say go for it. hillary is only remembered by younger voters for Benghazi; Ted Cruz for managing to sound interesting and intelligent for 21 hours.
Forget meth. I think we now have the first documented case of Krokadil use by a member of the MSM ...
Well... given the corrupt stranglehold the Dems. have on the vote counting in this country...Hillary might win all 57 or 58 states.
I treat The Hill the same way as I do Politico. Anything from either one has to be taken with a grain of salt
He is definitely on some drug
